Yes, it also works with the housing, and kept the camera warmer for me for longer, at least in my opinion, as it tends to shut down at -10 degrees without the housing and at around -15 degrees with it. Should also be waterproof Depending on how you want to attach it, it would be advisable to buy the mount pack. Gives you a bit more space (longer neck, adjustable neck) and gives you additional adhesive plates if you want multiple positions/helmets.

Mount Pack:
GoPro Helmet Front + Side Mount (Head / Helmet Mount)
The backs are for the same Hero model.
The "same" closed back is simply replacement (waterproof for diving).
The open back is for outdoor activities (when the "diving case" is to be used as a protective case and you want to use the touch screen
I have a Gopro 5 and there you set FPS / resolution etc. via the touchscreen, either you have to do that before you put the camera in the housing or via the app on your phone. Underwater you can switch between video and photo mode with one button. You can also start recording and switch the camera on/off.
Hello Cedric
Yes, the housing fits the GoPro Hero 7 Black Edition. I am currently using this combination. You can watch a sample film of mine on YouTube. Just search for aperture Heinz.4.
Hey
No, the housings have different dimensions (on purpose, money-making?) and new filters have to be used. The housing of the 4 doesn't work for the 5/6 either... at least these two have the same housings :-) By the way, batteries from the 4 don't work either :-S
There are some from Gopro itself and some from Polarpro:

Hello Michael Bermann
I don't have any long-term experience, I bought the diving case because I dive with equipment and that up to 40 metres. However, one point that also comes into play when snorkelling is the protection against mechanical damage. The supplied "retaining ring" only partially fulfils the criterion of mechanical protection in my view. I have never taken the Hero 5 into the water without a diving case, but the manufacturer guarantees water resistance, which is why I would have no problems taking it into the water without a diving case.
By the way, the lens is easy to remove, pull it out and turn it anti-clockwise.
