It is said to be waterproof to a few feet, but I will definitely not be using it underwater. It is no where near as good touch sensitivity when you use the touch back door, and trying to scroll down a menu is near impossible. It primary purpose is the capability to utilize the touch screen, but I kind of think it isn't that good at all. The next back door to mention is the touch back door. You can have waterproof characteristics, or good audio. The key thing to remember is that you have to compromise somewhere. The only negatives to the standard housing is really just the elimination of using a touch display, and highly muffled audio. This is still very useful though as you can frame shots while still having a waterproof case on. However, you cannot use the touch display by touching it, but rather by the old style of using buttons. The nice thing about the standard back door is that it is slim, waterproof and allows you to see the built-in touch display. With waterproofing and enhanced ruggedness, the standard back door is truly what makes a Gopro - GoPro. The standard housing and door assembly is quite possibly the most widely used, and for good reason. Once again, this is worth working around. The negative of the floaty back door is not only the extra bulk, but also the loss of the rear built-in touch screen that the Hero 4 Silver utilizes.
However, it is well worth altering some of your mounts slightly in the case of preventing the loss of your Hero 4 Silver. Other mounts like the chest strap and just your regular old adhesive mounts may not work the same way either. It does of course limit some mounts, as a head strap can only be used with some extension mounts to make clearance for the floaty back door. The floaty back door really is like insurance, just a one time payment fee. At $19.99, I don't have to worry about losing an investment. At $399, I would hate to lose my Hero 4 Silver because it sank in water. If you are around water, it is mandatory to have the floaty back door. Although the back door itself does not float, I consider the floaty back door 'system' as a back door because they are essentially glued together as one unit. As to which one to use, well that is the purpose of this article.īeing a kayak fisherman, I am around water a lot which brings me to the floaty back door. Some are betters than others, some look better than others, and in my opinion there are some you absolutely have to utilize during certain times. For those of you who already have a Hero 4 Silver, or those of you who are considering a Hero 4 Silver, you will notice that there is a wide choice of back doors to utilize.
