Little confused with SRP filters.

Hi everyone.

Going away tomorrow. Got the Gopro 3+ Black and Gopro 1 we are taking away with us.

Bought the clip on Polar Filter for the Gopro 1. Simple to clip on and take off.

But the SRP screw on type I have, seems not so simple. The mount on the go pro housing is very tight. Just playing yesterday, out of the water seemed to be quite difficult to get off. Unscrewing the filter I would image be a little fiddly and frighted about cross threading.

I want to be able to have filter off for Surface/shallow water and put on when young deeper. How does everybody else use this filter?

SRPfilter can't be removed underwater. Just thread the filter on slowly. It doesn't require a lot of pressure!

Thanks for your reply. Thought I was doing something wrong.

Well I think it can, look at this video, its a Blurfix ( from SRP): SRP Dome Clipon filter removal underwater, GoPro dive and Blurfix housings. - YouTube

The SRP filter I have looks different to that. It's not a clip
on type. The main housing, slides onto gopro housing and is on there solid. The red filter itself, screws onto this housing

He doesn't have the dome version. Pretty sure it's the original filter lens that threads in.

This is what I got

Oh, then avigulf is right. You should be able to just pop it on. Leave the filter attached to the housing and then you can pop it on or off and change underwater.

It maybe because it's new. But it takes a lot of effort and wiggling to get it off the gopro housing. Even just trying out of the water at the minute.
