SOONSUN Dome Port for GoPro Hero 9-13 - Split Water & Sky Lens

Our review looks at the SOONSUN Dome Port for GoPro Hero 9 through 13 and its single biggest selling point: the ability to capture true 50/50 water and sky shots while also serving as a capable underwater housing. For photographers and videographers who want one accessory to handle split-surface compositions, close-up macro work and deeper dives, this dome port delivers a reliable, feature-rich package with built-in switchable filters and a depth rating that supports recreational diving.

Key Features

• 50/50 Water and Sky Photography: The dome shape aligns with the water reference line so users can frame both above and below the surface in a single image without complex rigging.
• Built-in Switchable Filters: A red color-correction filter and a 10x close-up macro filter are integrated so photographers can quickly change modes for color accuracy or detailed macro shots.
• Waterproof to 147 ft: The housing is rated to 147 ft (45 m), making it suitable for deep recreational dives as well as surface and snorkeling work.
• Various Accessories Included: The kit includes a trigger for shutter control, a floating grip, an adjustable lanyard and a drawstring bag to keep the dome secure and protected between uses.
• GoPro Compatibility: Designed specifically for GoPro HERO 13, 12, 11, 10 and 9 Black cameras so users of recent GoPro models can mount the camera directly.

Who It's For

This dome port is aimed at action camera owners who prioritize creative surface splits and underwater color fidelity without carrying separate lenses. It is particularly useful for snorkelers, freedivers and content creators who switch between above-water and below-water shooting during the same outing.

It is less appropriate for photographers who need glass optics or maximum scratch resistance for long-term heavy commercial use; a few users note the dome material is plastic rather than hard glass and may require careful handling and cleaning.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Enables authentic 50/50 split-surface photos and video with consistent framing.
• Built-in switchable filters add versatility for macro work and color correction without extra parts.
• Depth rating to 147 ft supports serious underwater shooting beyond snorkeling.
• Accessory kit (trigger, floating grip, lanyard, bag) improves handling and safety on the water.

Cons

• Some users report the dome material feels like plastic rather than glass, which may affect scratch resistance over time.
• Installation and seal checks require care to ensure waterproof reliability for deep dives.
