So you don't miss out on any upcoming videos today?
We're gonna be reviewing this you Ulanzi silicone case with lens cap and lanyard for your GoPro Hero 8 black now
I pick this one up on Amazon. They're currently running for around $13. You'll find all the links below in the description
So let's get right into this review open this up and put it on my GoPro
Okay, so in the package, you've got your silicone case, it feels quite strong a thicker
Silicone case it's got cutouts for the microphones and covers for the buttons. It says mode here
so
You know exactly what the buttons are for and a cutout for the screen here at the front
as well as in the package you are gonna get a
lanyard this one is probably over a foot long and
It is quite strong it's got a slider on there so you can
Cinch it up on your wrist
so that's nice and I'm happy with that how it feels really good as well as you've got your lens cover here a
Little black Ulanzi lens cover. It's not actually designed to go right onto your GoPro. It needs to go onto the case
So you do need to have the case on to use the lens cap. There's little notches here
It looks like that hold it right on to the case. So we'll throw that on my GoPro here and see how it fits
So the GoPro just gets installed through the back here. It slides in really easily
It's just that quick to put it on and the case feels quite tight on there because it is stretchy
It just installs really quickly
you can see that there is a hole cut out here for the front screen so you can still see what's going on there as
Well, you can still see the little red light here when it's blinking that is within this cutout
There is a raised lip here around the lens that sticks up maybe a sixteenth past the lens
so if you drop it on the lens, it's gonna help protect that a cutout here for the front microphone on the
Side, you're gonna see there's a second cutout here for the side microphone
It's kind of engraved in the silicone the mode button as well. You can still see the logo here on the back
You still have full access to the screen on the GoPro. So that's really easy to use in there
As well as on this side they do have a cutout here now
Ulanzi does sell a new battery door cover with a hole in it
It's not waterproof
But it allows you to charge your GoPro with the case on and I'll show you that on the internet internet there in a moment
they've got the
the
Lanyard hole here as well as your shutter button to start recording on the bottom. They do have a full cutout here as well
So you can just fold out your mounts and connect it right to your GoPro mount that you're using. So it's that simple
To put on and use this silicone case. So I went ahead and put the lanyard in it is quite long
It's got that Center on it and it does feel quite strong as for the lens cover cap
Now it does have notches and grooves on it in the silicone. So when you put it on it does stay in place
Quite well, if you're not bumping it, but if you do bump it it is gonna fly off
so careful when you're out and about that you don't lose that does have a little hole there that you could connect a little
String to the hole for the lanyard, but it doesn't come with a little string for that
So it's perfect for using it as a lens cover in your bag
But I wouldn't about be careful that you don't lose that let's go ahead and test the audio with the case on it
All right
So I'm outside and there's cars going by and it's a bit breezy out here
And this is with the silicone case on testing one, two, three, four five, okay
I've gone ahead and taken off the case
You tell me in the comments section below if you can hear a difference
I've tested this several times and to me it sounds pretty much exactly the same
one other thing I did want to show you when you do have a selfie stick attached or a GoPro shorty something like this is
that you can still stretch out the silicone enough to access the battery door and
Open that up and change your battery really easily now whether or not this case will stretch out too much over time
We'll have to see but for now that will save a lot of time in changing the battery now
I did want to jump on to the internet and show you the you lanzhi
Door cover that they have on there as well as the pricing on these silicone cases
Okay, so we're over here on Amazon and this is the new Ulanzi battery door cover that has the hole in it
These are 24.95 and it allows you to charge your GoPro through that hole and that hole lines up with the hole on
The silicone case so really quick and convenient
If you do want to charge your GoPro on the go without having to open up the battery door
Just a reminder that your GoPro will not be waterproof if you are using this product so as for the case
they are currently running at twelve ninety-five on Amazon and
That comes with the lens cover and the land yard
If you do want to look at the dimensions of the unit, they are here on Amazon as well
And if you don't want to get a u lanzhi case they do have the gopro
Official cases here as well those run around $20 mark and they're available in several different colors
But just a reminder you do not get the lens cover with these there
They're available in black blue pink red white green
Beige and orange and those are running right around the 20 dollar mark, all the links are in the description below
So what are my final thoughts on this? Ulanzi silicone case for my GoPro Hero 8 black?
Well, first off I do like that. The silicone is nice and thick it feels like it's gonna last a long time
They did a good job in the cutouts for the microphones. They all line up perfectly and I do like that
The lip is raised past the edge of the lens. So if you did drop it straight down that should protect the lens
Feels like it's gonna hold up for quite a while. The lanyard is nice and long and strong
So I'm happy with that
And of course the lens cover cap to keep it protected
While it's in my bag or my pocket now
The one thing I wish they could have improved on was maybe made the lens cap a little bit tighter
so when you're out and about it doesn't
Pop off quite that easy or giving you a little string to attach it to the lanyard hole here
So other than that, I do really like the case and I would buy it again
So I hope this review did help you out. If it did make sure to give it a thumbs out
