If you're a GoPro user who's tired of constantly swapping batteries, the GoPro Contacto is a game-changer. This magnetic USB-C power connection and waterproof door combo lets you charge your camera or connect it to an external battery pack without sacrificing waterproofness.
I've been using it with my Hero 12 for about a month now, and it's transformed how I shoot. No more worrying about battery life during long recording sessions - just plug in a power bank and keep filming. The magnetic connection is super convenient, though I did notice the door requires slightly more effort to close than the standard one.
The waterproof performance has been flawless in my tests - no leaks during underwater shoots. However, there's one significant caveat: if you use protective cases, you'll likely need to modify them as the connector protrudes slightly. I had to make a small cut in my case for proper fitment.
While definitely pricey for what it is (around $40), the convenience factor makes it worth every penny for serious creators. It's become my most-used GoPro accessory, eliminating the constant plug/unplug dance with traditional charging methods.
One pro tip: pair this with a high-capacity power bank for truly unlimited recording time. Just be aware that while charging works great, data transfer speeds are decent but not blazing fast compared to direct USB-C connections.
