THE END OF "REGRET COST": AOI MAKES PASSION POSSIBLE WITH A TRULY FUTURE-PROOF HOUSING
One Housing, Three Major Brands, Ten Cameras. AOI Ltd. Eliminates the Penalty of Upgrading for Action Camera Users

AOI Ltd., a champion of accessible underwater imaging, today announces the launch of the AOI UH-ACT, a universal housing designed to solve the single biggest frustration for action camera enthusiasts: the cost of keeping up. By supporting ten different camera models across three major brands, the UH-ACT fulfills AOI’s mantra of "Passion Possible"—ensuring that the excitement of a new camera is never dampened by the regret of discarding a perfectly good housing.

Eliminating the "Regret Cost"

For too long, content creators have faced a "regret cost" every time a new camera hits the market. The joy of upgrading to the latest specs was always paired with the financial sting of rendering their existing dive housing obsolete.

The barrier to better imaging shouldn't be the cost of the plastic around the camera," says Victor Tsui, Managing Director for AOI Ltd. "We realized that the fear of wasted investment was stopping people from enjoying the latest technology. The UH-ACT removes that penalty. It allows you to upgrade your camera from a GoPro to a DJI, or an Insta360, without ever needing to replace your primary dive system. It’s about making the passion for diving sustainable and accessible."

One System, Endless Choice

The UH-ACT is engineered to be a long-term partner in a diver's journey. Through a system of high-quality, precision injection-molded adapters, the housing offers a secure, custom fit for:

• GoPro: HERO9, HERO10, HERO11, HERO12, and HERO13 Black
• DJI Osmo Action: Action 4, Action 5, and Action 6
• Insta360: Ace Pro and Ace Pro 2

Robust, Lightweight, and Ready for Travel

Designed for the modern "run-and-gun" creator, the UH-ACT is crafted from high-grade polycarbonate. It strikes the perfect balance for the enthusiast: tough enough to withstand the rigors of boat diving and depth, yet lightweight enough to live in a carry-on backpack. It is a tool designed not for the shelf, but for the journey.

From Action Cam to Underwater Cinema

Accessibility doesn't mean limiting potential. The UH-ACT comes pre-equipped with AOI’s native QRS-02 mount system. This feature transforms the housing from a simple protective shell into a platform for creativity, allowing users to snap on AOI’s UWL-03 or UWL-03 Pro wide-angle correction lens or UCL-03 close-up lenses instantly. It bridges the gap between simple action videos and immersive underwater cinema.
