Like the aluminum feel of the unit nice pin locking door. Has adapter for my dimming lens, also allows for my audio connection for the mic. Nice unit will be my camera case of choice.

In the beginning the app would not run on my phone but support from Ulanzi was first rate. They were on top of it as soon as I asked for help. Now everything is working great. This gamble is exactly what I needed and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I bought this to replace a broken plastic case, they are very nice. But I personally like the plastic because of the wight difference. So I ended up fixing the old case.
The metal is just too heavy for the dogs harness. It sways and throws the wight around.
All good tho. I ordered a gopro hero 9. And the plastic case.

I love the cage and the tripod. My only issue is, I wish the side hotshoe didn't block the power button. But this is a great setup. Thank you.

Your products are solid and I look forward to purchasing more in the future. Thank you.

This cage is very well made! It's machined aluminum with very tight tolerances, so it seems to be very durable. The fit on the GoPro Hero 8 is VERY snug, so the camera is mounted very securely. The doors latches snap nicely and feel solid.
Being made of metal, I didn't anticipate how much heavier this cage was compared to similar Ulanzi cages made from plastic, which are also surprisingly good.
Note: it took a month wait time to arrive via shipping, which was unexpected. But the quality of the product is excellent.

Great product. Well designed for the GoPro. Accepts all accessories needed to record on the go.
Steve B.
Very well made. Easy to use. Works well with my GoPro mic adapter, mic and led light panel.

It seems to be a solid cage that will provide additional protection to the Hero 8. It doesn't seem to work well with the mirror unit for seeing the screen while looking at the camera.

This is the best cage for the Hero8. I can mount it with or without the extension and that gives me flexibility. When I'm shooting something that might be a bit rough... this cage is what I use. Really solid. Holds my filters really well; the threads are precise and feel good. Everything about the cage feels solid; the detents that hold the back plate, the coldshoe mounts. Well done, Alanzi.

Great Vlogging Metal Cage for my GoPro 8. Another quality product from Ulanzi. Ulanzi is my go to brand for my GoPro Hero 8 Black. Keep up the good work.

With all the negative reviews of the GoPro Media Mod I needed a way to incorporate an external mic. and light. After seeing the G8-5 case for the GoPro Hero 8 Black and seeing it get such good reviews I decided it might be what I needed. I was not disappointed. It's a really well made product and met all my expectations. The fact I can now use filters is a huge bonus. I would have no hesitation in recommending this product. Well done Ulanzi.

VERY WELL MADE!
Just received my Ulanzi G8-5 Vlogging kit for my new GoPro Hero 8. The cage is solid aluminum and very sturdy. The kit also included the Boya MM-1 mic and VL49 light. All are well made and include cables and everything you need. I also purchased the Ulanzi BG-2 6800 mAh Powerbank hand grip and am looking forward to seeing how long I can go without recharging. A HUGE plus for me!
I would've given this a 5 star rating but in today's global world, 2 months is NOT a reasonable time to wait to get anything shipped from anywhere! (to be fair, COVID-19 and the timing with the Chinese New Year could've been contributing factors

Very well made and confident that the case will protect the GoPro 8 as the case feels bulletproof and the GoPro 8 fits very snugly.
One thing to be mindful is where you will be using the GoPro with the case. Because the case is made out of metal it is very heavy compared to the V2 for the GoPro 5/6/7. The GoPro 8 case weights 155g/5.5oz/0.3lbs while the V2 weights 46g/1.6oz/0.1lbs.

A well made product that protects my GoPro. Screwing on an ND filter is a little tricky—it's gritty and a challenge to make the threads align—but I have no fear of the filter falling off. Very happy with this product!

Case is very well made and looks the part
Only part I'm disappointed with is the delivery time scale it took over 6weeks ulanzi didn't give me any updates or nothing I understand the corvid 19 virus may be the cause of delay but just very poor customer service that's is my only gripe and I reached out 3-4 times with no official reply

This camera frame is exceptionally well designed and constructed. It works as advertised and offers great protection to the camera. A bit on the heavy side, which however is an equitable trade-off for the rugged construction and added impact protection it imparts. It has two cold shoe mounts for external accessories as well as access to the charging port of the camera to facilitate extended use. Highly recommended!
Lee T.
It works great, it looks great. Love it
Britt T.
Bought this so I can use 52mm ND filters. They fit great and works perfectly.
ronald p.
Great product. Quality construction and perfect for my needs with lots of derails others do not have.
Donald D.
The quality is excellent and the fit is perfect. However I maybe mistaken but I thought it was supposed to have the audio cage attached. It didn’t.
Brandon O.
Awesome purchase ! Very reliable and super strong for everyday drops and tumbles!
giovanni f.
Bello, solido, un po' Pesante per metterlo sul casco, va bene sul cavalletto o su una asta per fare i vlog. Utili gli attacchi per gli accessori
Ernest B.
The cage fits perfectly on my GoPro Hero8. The cage looks good and is well made.

I have ordered several Ulanzi GoPro housings. They have worked well and have never failed me in service. This particular unit appealed to me because it fits the new GoPro 8. It is very strong made from aluminum (I'm guessing) and fits the new GoPro 8 very securely. There are removable doors for the mic input and various other items. So far I am quite impressed with it.
My only complaints are that the previous mic adapter add-on from a previous Ulanzi unit would not match this latest units bolt alignment. The second comment is that because of the metal construction it is rather heavy.
But these are minor and when one considers that Ulanzi beat GoPro itself to market with this essential VLOGGING tool it does exactly what it is supposed to do and at a very reasonable price.
