Does the Job
We went diving in the Caymans. We had two GoPro cameras, Hero HD and Hero 3. We used the red filter while scuba diving. The filters cannot be taken on and off once the camera case is close, so the video above water has a red tinge. But what a difference the filters make for video below water. We compared the Hero 3 and red filter with the Hero HD and the colors were so much better with the filter. We tried the polarizing filter above water and it also made a big difference, you just have to make sure that you orient the filter correctly by looking through the filter and turning until you find the polarization sweet spot/orientation. The filters are cheap and throw away, we lift two filters in the hotel room, but the cost is cheap enough that it does not matter. We used the anti-fog inserts and they seemed to help. We did not read that you are supposed to cut them with scissors and not rip them until after we ripped them, but they still seemed to work. I would definitely buy the filters and anti-fog inserts again for scuba diving.

Works like a charm
Used the antifog inserts in Hero 3+ Silver edition housing during several snorkeling sesssions during a Dominican republic trip. Worked awesome - absolutely no fogging whatsoever in housing. Vendor says to use two in housing - one on side and one on bottom, but I found it extremely hard to get one on side and it kept getting crushed while trying to insert it or camera. I was especially careful when cutting them up to avoid rough edges, but once they get crushed a bit they start releasing the white dust from the inserts. I found one works just fine in bottom of housing, and it is super easy to get it in and out - my suggestion would be to start hereand possibly cut a half insert more for bottom if needed. Did not use filters, but after seeing other products - red filter - for underwater filming, that fit right over housing window, think that is better way to go - just make sure they fit Hero 3+ housing as it is smaller than Hero 3. Price for everything was good I thought.

Looks ok but expensive for what you get
Looks like they will do as expected but considering what you get you can't help but feel like this item is overpriced. If they are going to charge so much for a little bit of plastic and silica pads it would be nice if they would at least provide extra filters in case you lose or damage one.Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any reasonable quality cheap lens for GoPro's yet, from what I have seen a lens is required to get good underwater video and this seemed to be the best cheaper option as others seem to break easily or are a pain because you have to take lens apart to insert or remove.Items come in little ziploc baggies with cardboard insert to help protect them which is nice.

Filters work well in sun and tropical water
The filters did a nice job of color balancing my recent dive in Hawaii. Did a before and after to check the difference and short of having a da Vinci colorist at had it was very nice. They could offer some instructions as I kinda had to figure the best way to use them by trial and error and I still don't know if it's 100% right.

Great Purchase for My First Scuba Diving Trip
Used these on my honeymoon / scuba diving trip to Curacao. Worked as expected. Be certain the filter is exactly aligned or it will show up in photos/videos as a corner that's a different color. Not being able to remove the color filters when coming up to the surface or on the beach has me considering buying a clip on type. No fog in any videos or photos.

Basic, but did the job.
This product actually did a nice job once underwater. Unfortunately, it is an insert and difficult to change between inserts on a boat. So, I did not have the ease of changing between the polarizer and the red filter. I will upgrade in the future to an external flip style. Still, it arrived on time and did the job.

Perfect combo pack for just about anyone!
I have yet to use the red and the magenta filter, but the polarizer and the no-fogs work really great! The polarizer helps reduce the blown out footage so it's more manageable, especially in the snow. The NoFog inserts work well, not great, but well. It does reduce it compared to nothing at all, but doesn't eliminate it completely. I would suggest you combo this up with something like RainX or Cat Crap, or some other kind of defogger liquid/paste, that way it would reduce it's fogging a lot.

Just Ok
Took these filters and anti-fog inserts to Mexico snorkeling, they never really made a huge difference when it came to video quality. I had to manually set the white balance (3000k) when I used the tropical water filter. I used the anti-fog inserts but they were never damp or anything so I not sure if they did work. Hopefully this item will payoff in the future.
