Anti-fog camera housings pair a compatible waterproof shell with moisture-absorbing inserts that help limit condensation on the inside of the lens. My best overall pick is the 120-pack reusable insert set, which offers the broadest supply for frequent use, while the CamKix 20-pack suits buyers who want a smaller silica-gel option and the FitStill 60M housings stand out for model-specific diving protection. The main tradeoff is choosing between buying inserts for a housing you already own and purchasing a complete housing with a stated depth rating. Pack size, camera compatibility, and whether inserts can be reused matter as much as fog control. Read on for how the 13 options compare and which setup fits your camera and use.

Key Takeaways
- The 120-pack reusable inserts lead for buyers who use compatible housings often and want a larger supply; large pack size alone does not establish better moisture control.
- CamKix’s 20-pack silica-gel inserts favor a smaller, clearly described material choice, while the 60- and 72-piece options suit buyers balancing supply with storage.
- FitStill’s 60M housings are camera-specific: one is listed for GoPro Hero 4K and the other for Hero 9–13, so checking the exact camera generation is key.
- The Walking Way shell serves a different need from insert-only products, pairing a stated 45M depth rating with compatibility claims for DJI Osmo 360/II and Xtra SPHRA360.
- Many insert listings overlap in purpose; brand, quantity, and compatibility wording are clearer differentiators here than any published comparative fog-control test.

Anti-Fog Inserts for Action Cameras – Reusable Moisture Absorbing Strips for GoPro, Xiaomi Yi, SJ Series, and More (120 Pack)
The standout here is quantity paired with reuse: 120 silica-gel-and-fiber inserts give frequent underwater shooters more spares between drying sessions than the 60-piece Honghauth pack. The broad stated fit for GoPro Hero 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, and SJ-series cameras also makes it a practical shared supply for households with different action cameras. When the strips absorb moisture, baking can restore them, reducing the need to replace each insert after one outing. The tradeoff is that this is still a small-housing moisture absorber, not a fix for a wet or poorly dried case; the product data specifically calls for drying the housing before use. It also excludes the Insta360 X4, so the wider model coverage of the 60-piece Insta360-compatible option may suit some mixed-camera kits better.
Pros:- 120 inserts provide a larger supply than the 60-piece Honghauth pack.
- Silica gel on cellulose fiber is designed to absorb moisture inside a housing.
- Reusable by baking after absorbing moisture.
- Compatibility includes GoPro Hero 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, and SJ4000/SJ5000.
Cons:- Not suitable for Insta360 X4 camera models.
- The camera housing needs to be dried properly before inserting the strips.
- Baking to restore the inserts adds preparation between uses.
Best for: Frequent action-camera users and families with compatible GoPro, Xiaomi Yi, or SJ cameras who want a large reusable supply for repeated water trips.
Not ideal for: Insta360 X4 owners, or anyone unwilling to dry the housing and bake the inserts between uses.
- Unit count:120
- Material:Fiber and gel
- Compatibility:Most action cameras, including GoPro Hero 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, and SJ4000/SJ5000
- Reusable:Yes; restore by baking
- Included:Anti-fog inserts and cleaning cloth
- Use:Moisture absorption inside action-camera housings
Our verdict“Choose this pack for frequent use across its listed camera families; skip it if you own an Insta360 X4 or want a fog-control solution that needs no drying routine.”
Underwater Anti-Fog Inserts for Waterproof Dive, Reusable Moisture Absorbers for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, and Water Sports
Unlike the camera-case-focused PCTC 24-piece inserts, this Honghauth set is listed for both waterproof camera cases and standard dive masks, making it the most flexible fit in this group for a diver carrying more than one kind of gear. Its compatibility list spans GoPro Hero 3–13, SJCAM, Yi, DJI Action Pocket, and standard masks, while the lightweight format suits travel kits. The 60-piece supply is more modest than the 120-pack from B0FFZQXH3J, but the mask compatibility gives it a different use case rather than simply making it a smaller substitute. There are limits: the listing says performance may vary with water conditions and notes that extended use may call for frequent replacement. Treat it as a moisture absorber for enclosed gear, not a universal anti-fog treatment for open environments.
Pros:- Listed for compatible waterproof camera cases and standard dive masks.
- Compatibility covers several GoPro generations, SJCAM, Yi, and DJI Action Pocket.
- Reusable design and lightweight format suit travel use.
- Includes a 180-day warranty.
Cons:- The 60-piece count is smaller than the 120-pack option.
- The listing says extended use may require frequent replacement.
- Effectiveness can vary with water conditions and the product is limited to cases and masks.
Best for: Scuba divers and snorkelers who want moisture-absorbing inserts for compatible camera housings and standard dive masks in one kit.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking the largest supply for frequent camera-only use, or anyone needing a fog solution for equipment outside waterproof cases and masks.
- Brand:Honghauth
- Model number:Anti-Fogs-Insert
- Number of items:60
- Enclosure material:Sponge and silicone
- Compatible devices:GoPro Hero 3–13, SJCAM, Yi, DJI Action Pocket, and standard dive masks
- Features:Waterproof, reusable, moisture absorbing
- Color:White
- Warranty:180 days
Our verdict“Pick Honghauth when you want one insert type listed for both a compatible camera case and dive mask, but choose a larger camera-focused pack for heavier use.”
60pcs Anti-Fog Inserts for Action Cameras Waterproof Cases
For a mixed-brand camera kit, the useful distinction is named support for Insta360 alongside GoPro, SJCAM, Yi, and DJI Osmo Action. That makes this 60-piece set a stronger fit than the 120-pack B0FFZQXH3J for buyers whose equipment includes an Insta360 model, though the latter supplies twice as many inserts for repeated outings. These strips use silica gel on cellulose fiber and can be baked for reuse, so they are intended to manage moisture inside a waterproof case rather than address fog in open-air shooting. The tradeoff is a smaller supply and an extra recovery step after use. Placement may also take a little trial and error across different case designs; the product data does not give model-specific fitting instructions.
Pros:- Compatibility list includes GoPro, SJCAM, Yi, Insta360, and DJI Osmo Action.
- Silica gel and cellulose fiber are intended to absorb moisture inside waterproof cases.
- Reusable by baking.
- Light listed weight of 0.03 kg.
Cons:- At 60 pieces, it supplies fewer inserts than the 120-pack B0FFZQXH3J.
- Baking is required to prepare used strips for reuse.
- Placement guidance for different camera models is not specified.
Best for: Owners of mixed-brand action cameras, especially those with a listed Insta360, SJCAM, Yi, or DJI Osmo Action model.
Not ideal for: Frequent shooters who want a larger stock of inserts, or buyers who do not want to bake used strips before reusing them.
- Quantity:60 pieces
- Material:Silica gel on cellulose fiber
- Compatible devices:GoPro, SJCAM, Yi, Insta360, and DJI Osmo Action
- Reusable:Yes; bake to reuse
- Weight:0.03 kg
- Intended use:Moisture control inside waterproof camera cases
Our verdict“Choose this set when its listed cross-brand compatibility matters more than pack size, particularly for a kit that includes Insta360 gear.”
PCTC 24 PCS Anti-Fog Inserts for Underwater Dive Housings
PCTC is the smallest pack here, so it makes the most sense for occasional underwater sessions rather than a busy shooting schedule. The listing says each insert lasts about five uses and can be dried in an oven at 300°F for five minutes; that gives buyers a clear reuse instruction, unlike the more general baking guidance for the 60-piece options from B09YDMW1BS and Honghauth. Four vacuum packages may also help keep the unused supply separated until needed. Its stated compatibility spans GoPro Hero 1–13 and DJI Osmo Action, but the listing does not identify the insert material. Compared with the 120-piece B0FFZQXH3J, the limited count means less room for frequent use or sharing, and the specified oven temperature calls for careful handling.
Pros:- Four vacuum packages separate the 24 inserts.
- Listing gives a specific reuse instruction: 300°F for five minutes.
- Compatibility is stated for GoPro Hero 1–13 and DJI Osmo Action.
- Each insert is described as usable for about five times.
Cons:- The 24-piece count is much smaller than the 60- and 120-piece alternatives.
- The stated reuse life is about five uses per insert.
- Requires oven drying at a specified temperature, with careful handling.
Best for: Occasional GoPro or DJI Osmo Action users who want a small, separately packaged supply and a stated drying procedure.
Not ideal for: Frequent divers who need a large stock, or buyers who cannot follow the specified oven-drying instructions safely.
- Quantity:24 pieces
- Packaging:Four vacuum packages
- Compatibility:GoPro Hero 1–13 and DJI Osmo Action
- Reuse life:About five uses per insert
- Drying instructions:Bake at 300°F for five minutes
- Intended use:Underwater camera housings
Our verdict“PCTC suits occasional users who value separate packaging and clear drying directions, but regular divers are better served by a larger pack.”
Anti-Fog Inserts for Action Cameras – Reusable Moisture Absorbing Strips (72 Pack)
The 72-piece version sits between the 60-piece sets and the 120-pack B0FFZQXH3J, making it a sensible middle ground for buyers who want more spares than a compact set without storing the largest supply. Its cellulose-fiber and silica-gel construction is intended to absorb moisture inside a camera housing, and the inserts can be baked dry for reuse. Compatibility covers GoPro Hero 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, and SJ4000/SJ5000, matching the 120-pack’s stated camera families. That means the main distinction is pack size, not a broader device fit. This set also includes a cleaning cloth and lists a six-month warranty. It shares the same stated exclusion of Insta360 X4 and the same need for careful case drying; buyers who need Insta360 compatibility should look at B09YDMW1BS instead.
Pros:- 72 inserts offer a middle pack size between 60 and 120 pieces.
- Reusable after baking to dry.
- Compatibility includes GoPro Hero 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, and SJ4000/SJ5000.
- Includes a cleaning cloth and lists a six-month warranty.
Cons:- Does not list Insta360 X4 compatibility.
- Requires baking to restore moisture absorption.
- The housing still needs careful drying before use.
Best for: Action-camera owners who use compatible GoPro, Xiaomi Yi, or SJ models regularly and prefer a medium-sized reusable supply.
Not ideal for: Insta360 X4 owners, or high-volume shooters who would benefit from the larger 120-piece pack.
- Quantity:72
- Material:Cellulose fiber and silica gel
- Compatibility:Most action cameras, including GoPro Hero 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, and SJ4000/SJ5000
- Reusable:Yes; bake to dry
- Package includes:Anti-fog inserts and cleaning cloth
- Warranty:6 months
Our verdict“Choose the 72-pack for a moderate supply of reusable inserts for its listed camera families; opt for B0FFZQXH3J if you need more spares or B09YDMW1BS for Insta360 compatibility.”
Underwater Anti-Fog Inserts for GoPro and DJI Action Waterproof Cases
Broad fit and a 30-piece supply make these inserts a flexible choice if you keep more than one action-camera housing in rotation. Their 25 mm by 12 mm foam pads can be trimmed, and each is specified for about five uses before replacement. Compared with FiTSTILL 24PCS Anti-Fog Inserts, this pack offers more inserts and lists compatibility with GoPro, DJI, Insta360, AKASO, and SJCAM cameras. The tradeoff is a more involved reset: these pads call for a 300°F oven for two minutes, and their small size may require careful cutting and placement. I would choose them for varied housings and regular water sessions, but not if I want a no-prep insert that fits a single case without trimming.
Pros:- Lists compatibility across several major action-camera brands and model families.
- Thirty inserts provide a substantial supply for multiple housings.
- Pads can be trimmed for a closer fit in different cases.
- Each insert is reusable for approximately five cycles.
Cons:- Performance is expected to decline after about five uses.
- Resetting requires a 300°F oven.
- Small pads may need cutting and careful placement.
Best for: Action-camera owners who switch among GoPro, DJI, Insta360, or other listed housings and want a reusable supply they can trim to fit.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want inserts sized for one specific housing or cannot use an oven to reset them.
- Brand:YALLSAME
- Quantity:30 pieces
- Insert size:25 mm × 12 mm
- Material:Foam
- Reusable uses:Approximately 5 cycles per insert
- Reset method:Oven at 300°F for 2 minutes
- Listed compatibility:GoPro HERO 1–13, DJI Osmo Action 1–5 and Pro 6, Insta360 Ace/Pro, AKASO Brave series, SJCAM
Our verdict“Choose this pack if you need adaptable, reusable inserts for several action-camera housings and are comfortable trimming and oven-resetting them.”
Walking Way Waterproof Case for DJI Osmo 360/II & Xtra SPHRA360, Anti-Fog Touch-Screen Underwater Camera Housing, 45M/147FT Deep Diving Protective Shell Accessories Kit
Unlike the insert-only options in this roundup, the Walking Way housing combines a camera enclosure with an included anti-fog sheet. Its stated 45-meter depth rating and 1:1 fit are aimed at owners of the DJI Osmo 360/II or XTRA SPHRA360 who need a complete underwater case, not a generic moisture absorber. The PMMA lens is listed at over 95% light transmittance, while a quick-release base supports changes between compatible mounts. Compared with the FitStill 196FT/60M GoPro Hero 4K housing, this one is specific to a different camera and has a lower stated depth rating. The touchscreen claim and added protection features may appeal to multi-sport users, but this remains a model-specific case, and the anti-fog component is an included sheet rather than a large refill supply.
Pros:- Designed specifically for DJI Osmo 360/II and XTRA SPHRA360.
- Listed waterproof depth rating of 45 meters (147 feet).
- Includes an anti-fog sheet and a PMMA lens rated above 95% light transmittance.
- Quick-release base supports compatible tripods and other mounts.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the named camera models.
- Its stated depth rating is lower than the FitStill GoPro Hero 4K housing’s 60-meter rating.
- The listing does not specify anti-fog sheet quantity or a reset method.
Best for: DJI Osmo 360/II and XTRA SPHRA360 owners who want a dedicated underwater enclosure with an included anti-fog sheet and quick-release mounting.
Not ideal for: GoPro owners, buyers seeking a universal housing, or divers who need a housing with a higher stated depth rating.
- Compatible devices:DJI Osmo 360/II and XTRA SPHRA360
- Waterproof depth:45 meters (147 feet)
- Lens material:PMMA
- Lens light transmittance:Over 95% (as stated)
- Housing material:Reinforced polycarbonate (PC)
- Mounting:Quick-release mount
- Item weight:140 g
Our verdict“Pick this as a complete underwater housing if you own a listed DJI 360 camera and its 45-meter rating fits your planned use.”
FiTSTILL 24PCS Anti-Fog Inserts for GoPro Hero Action Cameras
Clear reset instructions and broad listed compatibility give the FiTSTILL inserts a practical edge for owners who want to reuse their fog control rather than replace it after each outing. The silica-gel-on-cellulose-fiber construction is specified to be reactivated in a 300°F oven for five minutes, and the 24-piece pack covers a range of GoPro and other action cameras. Compared with the YALLSAME 30-piece inserts, this pack contains fewer pads and takes longer to reset, but it identifies a specific material and baking routine. The supplied details do not give insert dimensions or an estimated number of reuse cycles, so fit and service life may take some trial and error. It suits routine housing use better than buyers who need precise sizing information before purchase.
Pros:- Reusable inserts can be reactivated by baking at a specified temperature and time.
- Silica gel on cellulose fiber is identified as the insert material.
- Compatibility includes several GoPro generations and other camera brands.
- DIY cutting allows adjustment for different housing interiors.
Cons:- Resetting requires a 300°F oven for five minutes.
- The supplied product data does not state insert dimensions.
- No reuse-cycle estimate is provided.
Best for: GoPro and other listed action-camera owners who want reusable inserts with a specified oven reactivation method.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need known insert dimensions, a stated reuse-cycle limit, or a reset method that does not involve an oven.
- Brand:FiTSTILL
- Quantity:24 inserts
- Material:Silica gel on cellulose fiber
- Reset method:Bake at 300°F for 5 minutes
- Item weight:0.1 kg
- Warranty:24 months
- Listed compatibility:GoPro HERO 3–13, Xiaomi Yi, SJ4000/SJ5000, DJI Osmo Action, Insta360 X2–X5, Pocket 3
Our verdict“Choose FiTSTILL if you value a stated oven-reset routine and broad compatibility more than exact sizing or a published reuse limit.”
60pcs Anti-Fog Inserts for GoPro and Action Cameras Waterproof Cases
For frequent use across several housings, the main draw is straightforward: 60 reusable inserts in one pack. The silica-gel-on-cellulose-fiber material is intended to absorb moisture inside waterproof cases, and listed compatibility covers GoPro, SJCAM, Yi, and DJI Osmo models. Compared with the FiTSTILL 24PCS inserts, this pack offers substantially more pieces, making it a better fit for households or teams that keep multiple cameras ready. However, the supplied data does not name an insert size, reset temperature, baking time, or expected number of reuse cycles. That leaves more room for guesswork than the YALLSAME pack, which specifies dimensions and a reset routine. I would favor this option when quantity matters most, not when exact fit or maintenance guidance is the priority.
Pros:- Sixty inserts offer a large supply for repeated use or multiple housings.
- Reusable material can be dried in an oven.
- Silica gel on cellulose fiber is specified as the material.
- Compatibility includes GoPro, SJCAM, Yi, and DJI Osmo models.
Cons:- The supplied product data does not state insert dimensions.
- No oven temperature or drying duration is specified.
- The reuse-cycle limit is not provided.
Best for: Frequent action-camera users or small teams who need a large supply of inserts for several compatible housings.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need stated insert dimensions, a precise oven-reset routine, or a documented reuse-cycle estimate.
- Quantity:60 pieces
- Material:Silica gel on cellulose fiber
- Reusable:Yes
- Reset method:Oven drying; temperature and duration not specified
- Listed compatibility:GoPro, SJCAM, Yi, DJI Osmo models
- Item weight:0.03 kg
Our verdict“Choose this bulk pack when you need many reusable inserts and can work around the lack of sizing and reset details.”
FitStill 196FT/60M Waterproof Diving Housing for GoPro Hero 4K
The FitStill Hero 4K housing is the most direct choice here for a GoPro owner who needs a complete underwater enclosure rather than replacement anti-fog pads alone. It is rated to 60 meters (196 feet) and includes 12 anti-fog inserts, so the fog-control supplies arrive with the case. Its PMMA construction is described as transparent and protective, while the quick-release socket and screw provide a basic mounting setup. Compared with the Walking Way DJI Osmo 360 housing, FitStill has the higher stated depth rating, but compatibility is much narrower: it is for the GoPro Hero 4K, not a broad camera family. The listing also excludes the Hero Lite and Hero 11 Mini. This makes it a focused housing pick, not a flexible upgrade for mixed-camera owners.
Pros:- Stated waterproof depth rating of 60 meters (196 feet).
- Includes 12 anti-fog inserts with the housing.
- PMMA housing material is described as transparent and protective.
- Quick-release socket and screw are included for mounting.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the GoPro Hero 4K model.
- Not compatible with GoPro Lite Hero or Hero 11 Mini.
- The kit includes only the listed housing, socket, screw, and inserts.
Best for: GoPro Hero 4K owners planning underwater filming who want a 60-meter-rated housing and included anti-fog inserts.
Not ideal for: Owners of other GoPro models, including Hero Lite and Hero 11 Mini, or buyers who only need replacement anti-fog inserts.
- Compatible device:GoPro Hero 4K
- Waterproof depth:60 meters (196 feet)
- Housing material:PMMA plastic
- Mounting type:Quick release
- Included anti-fog inserts:12
- Included items:Waterproof housing, quick pull socket, screw, 12 anti-fog inserts
- Model number:Hero 4K (Standard)
Our verdict“Choose this housing if you own the GoPro Hero 4K and need a deep-rated case with anti-fog inserts included.”
CamKix Anti-Fog Inserts – 20 Pack Reusable Moisture-Removing Silica Gel for GoPro Hero Cameras and Other Housing Systems
CamKix’s 20 inserts are a practical choice for GoPro owners who want reusable moisture absorbers without needing cut-to-fit pieces. Their silica gel on cellulose fiber is intended to reduce condensation inside a housing in cold or humid conditions, while the stated GoPro compatibility covers Hero models from the earlier generations through Hero 4. Compared with the 36-piece anti-fog inserts, CamKix offers fewer pieces and less stated cross-brand coverage, but its compatibility description is clear and its compact strips are sized for housing use. The main tradeoff is upkeep: once saturated, the inserts need oven reactivation at 300°F. They are moisture absorbers, not waterproof barriers, so they belong inside a sealed housing and cannot be used on their own underwater.
Pros:- Silica gel and cellulose construction is intended to absorb moisture inside a housing.
- Reusable after baking at 300°F for five minutes.
- Compatible with the listed GoPro Hero models and many other housing systems.
- Compact 1.7-inch strips suit placement inside camera housings.
Cons:- The 20-piece pack has fewer inserts than the 36-piece option.
- Oven baking is required to reactivate the inserts.
- The inserts are not water resistant and cannot protect a camera outside its housing.
Best for: GoPro Hero owners with compatible housings who want reusable inserts in a clearly specified compact size.
Not ideal for: Multi-camera households seeking broad, explicitly listed compatibility or buyers who cannot use an oven to reactivate inserts.
- Pack quantity:20 inserts
- Material:Silica gel on cellulose fiber
- Dimensions:1.7 × 0.15 inches
- Listed compatibility:GoPro Hero 1, 2, 3, 3+, 4 Black, and Silver; other camera housings
- Intended use:Moisture absorption inside camera housings
- Reuse method:Bake at 300°F for five minutes
- Water resistance:Not water resistant; not for standalone underwater use
Our verdict“Choose CamKix if you want compact, reusable inserts for a compatible GoPro housing and can handle oven reactivation.”
FitStill Underwater Waterproof Diving Housing for Go Pro Hero 13/12/11/10/9 Black,60M/196FT Protective Underwater Diving Housing Shell Accessories (Hero 13/12/11/10/9 Black)
Unlike CamKix and the other insert-only picks, FitStill supplies the housing itself along with 12 anti-fog sheets, a mounting adapter, and screws. That makes it the more relevant choice for a diver who still needs a protective shell, not just a way to manage condensation. The housing is listed for GoPro Hero 9 through Hero 13 Black and carries a stated 60 m/196 ft depth rating; its sealing ring and tight buckle are designed to help keep water out. The flat glass front is intended to preserve sharpness underwater. The tradeoff is model-specific fit: buyers with other cameras should look instead at the broad-compatibility 36-piece inserts. Also, the included sheets help with fog control, but they do not replace checking the seal before each dive.
Pros:- Combines a protective housing with 12 anti-fog sheets and mounting hardware.
- Listed for GoPro Hero 9 through Hero 13 Black.
- Stated waterproof depth rating of 60 m/196 ft.
- Flat glass lens is designed to support image sharpness above and below water.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the listed GoPro Black models.
- Bulkier and less relevant than insert-only products for buyers with an existing housing.
- Anti-fog sheets do not eliminate the need to inspect and correctly close the housing seal.
Best for: Divers using a GoPro Hero 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 Black who need both an underwater housing and included anti-fog sheets.
Not ideal for: Owners of other camera brands or buyers who already have a suitable housing and only need replacement inserts.
- Compatible cameras:GoPro Hero 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 Black
- Stated waterproof depth:60 m / 196 ft
- Included housing:One waterproof case
- Included anti-fog sheets:12
- Included mounting parts:Screws and adapter dock
- Front lens:Large flat glass lens
- Housing material:Acrylic enclosure; stainless steel hardware
- Mounting type:Quick release mount
Our verdict“Pick FitStill when you need a deep-rated GoPro housing and included fog-control sheets in one kit.”
36pcs Anti Fog Inserts Moisture Absorbing Strips Humidity Removing Defogger for GoPro Hero 13/12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3 Action Camera Underwater Dive Housings, DJI OSMO Insta360 Waterproof Case
Broad camera compatibility is the main reason to choose these inserts: the listing covers many GoPro generations, DJI Osmo Action models, Insta360 cameras, Xiaomi Yi, and SJCAM. That makes this a more flexible fit for a mixed-camera kit than the GoPro-focused CamKix inserts. Each strip is listed at 25 × 12 mm and can be cut to suit a housing, which helps when different cases have different available space. The product description mentions 36 pieces in the title but also says the package contains 60, so the delivered quantity is unclear and worth verifying before relying on the stated count. Like the other reusable inserts, these need oven drying at 300°F for 2–5 minutes and must cool before use; they absorb moisture but do not seal or waterproof a housing.
Pros:- Lists compatibility across GoPro, DJI Osmo Action, Insta360, Xiaomi Yi, and SJCAM cameras.
- Can be cut to fit different housing interiors.
- Reusable by oven drying at 300°F for 2–5 minutes.
- Compact 25 × 12 mm pieces are suited to small camera housings.
Cons:- The title states 36 pieces while the description says 60, leaving the pack quantity ambiguous.
- Cutting may be needed to fit particular housings.
- Oven drying and cooling are required before reuse.
Best for: Action-camera owners who use multiple brands or housing sizes and want inserts that can be trimmed to fit.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a precisely confirmed pack quantity or prefer ready-sized inserts that require no cutting.
- Pack quantity:Ambiguous: title says 36 pieces; description says 60 pieces
- Insert dimensions:25 × 12 mm per piece
- Material function:Moisture-absorbing inserts
- Listed camera compatibility:GoPro Hero 3 through 13 and Max Session; DJI Osmo Action 1 through 5 Pro; Insta360 X2 through X5; Xiaomi Yi; SJCAM
- Fit adjustment:Can be cut to size
- Reuse method:Bake at 300°F for 2–5 minutes
- Handling before reuse:Let inserts cool before handling or placing in the housing
- Intended use:Moisture absorption inside underwater camera housings
Our verdict“Choose these if your camera kit spans brands and you value cut-to-fit flexibility more than a clearly stated piece count.”
How We Picked
I ranked these 13 options by how directly they solve the problem implied by the search: keeping a camera’s underwater housing usable without interior fog. I weighed camera and housing compatibility, whether the listing describes inserts or a complete waterproof shell, stated depth ratings where supplied, pack quantity, and practical details such as reusable or silica-gel claims. A stated depth rating is not a substitute for confirming fit or inspecting a housing’s seals.
The ranking favors options with a clear role and useful information for a buyer, not the largest quantity by default. That places broad-supply inserts ahead for existing-housing owners, while complete housings rank on their specific camera fit and stated depth rather than being treated as interchangeable with anti-fog strips. Many insert listings provide little basis for comparing actual moisture performance, so I do not claim one formula works better than another. Buyers should verify the listing’s exact compatibility and reuse instructions before purchase.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Antifog Camera Housings
Before choosing among anti-fog inserts and camera housings, separate two jobs: managing moisture inside a case and protecting the camera from water pressure. The right purchase depends on whether you already own a compatible shell, what camera model you have, and how often you shoot underwater.
Decide Whether You Need Inserts or a Complete Housing
Anti-fog inserts do not make a camera waterproof; they are intended to sit inside a compatible waterproof case and absorb moisture. If your current housing fits properly and its seals are in good condition, insert-only products can address fog without replacing the shell. If you do not own a housing, shop for a complete case rated for your camera and intended depth. A common mistake is treating an insert pack and a housing as alternative versions of the same product. Check what is included, because an accessories listing may not contain the protective shell.
Match the Exact Camera and Housing Generation
Compatibility claims can span several camera families, but a similar camera name does not guarantee a proper fit. Check the exact model, lens opening, button placement, and available room inside the case before ordering inserts or a shell. This matters especially for model-specific housings such as the FitStill options listed for particular GoPro generations and the Walking Way case listed for certain 360 cameras. Oversized or misplaced inserts can interfere with closing the housing or sit in the lens path. When a listing names several models, confirm the included case or insert dimensions against your own setup.
Treat Depth Ratings as One Part of Waterproof Safety
A housing’s stated depth rating helps narrow choices for diving, but it does not prove that a used, damaged, or incorrectly closed case will stay watertight. Match the rating to the depth you plan to reach and leave a sensible margin rather than buying to the limit. Inspect the O-ring and closure surfaces, remove grit, and follow the maker’s sealing instructions before each outing. Test a new housing without the camera if the manufacturer recommends it. Anti-fog inserts cannot compensate for a leaking seal, and they do not replace routine case maintenance.
Choose Pack Size Around Use, Not Headline Quantity
Large packs such as the 120-piece option make sense for regular shooting, group use, or keeping spares ready. Smaller packs can be a better fit for occasional trips or buyers who want to confirm that a particular insert works with their housing first. Compare quantity with the number of inserts required per session and the product’s instructions for reuse or replacement. Do not assume that more pieces mean stronger fog control or that a “reusable” label guarantees unlimited use. Store spares as directed so they do not absorb moisture before they reach the case.
Plan for Temperature Changes and Moisture Sources
Fog often appears when a warm, humid camera and case meet cooler water or air, so setup conditions affect results alongside the insert. Close the housing in a dry place when possible and avoid trapping damp air, wet fabric, or droplets inside. If fog keeps returning, inspect the housing for moisture and review how the camera is stored before sealing it. Inserts can help manage humidity, but they cannot correct water intrusion or poor sealing. Buyers who film across repeated temperature changes should prioritize careful preparation and spare inserts over relying on a single strip.
Check Reuse Instructions and Ongoing Care
“Reusable” can mean different things across products, so look for clear directions on drying, recharging, or replacing inserts before relying on repeated use. Silica-gel products may have particular care instructions, while other strips may not describe a regeneration method. Keep used inserts separate from dry spares and track which ones have been exposed to humid conditions. Never heat or bake an insert unless its manufacturer explicitly permits that method. A lower-maintenance option may be preferable for casual users, while frequent divers may value a clearly explained reuse process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do anti-fog inserts make a camera housing waterproof?
No. Inserts are moisture absorbers used inside a separate waterproof housing; they do not seal gaps or protect a camera from water pressure. Choose a shell made for your exact camera and the depth of your activity, then check its seals and closure before use. If you are buying an insert-only listing, confirm that you already have a compatible case. A fog insert cannot fix a leak or a damaged O-ring.
Can I use the same inserts in every GoPro or action-camera case?
Not automatically. The insert must fit inside the particular case without blocking the lens, controls, or the case’s closure. The roundup includes listings that name broad camera families as well as products tied to specific models, so compatibility wording deserves a close read. Compare the dimensions and instructions with your housing, especially if it is a compact or third-party shell. If fit is unclear, contact the seller before putting the camera underwater.
Should I buy a large insert pack or start with a smaller one?
A large pack is useful when you shoot often, need spares, or are preparing inserts for several compatible housings. A smaller pack can limit excess stock if you film only occasionally or want to check fit and handling first. The 120-piece option in this lineup favors supply, while the CamKix 20-pack is a more compact starting point. Quantity does not establish how well an insert controls fog, so read reuse and placement directions as well.
Are reusable anti-fog inserts a better choice than disposable ones?
They can reduce the need to replace inserts often, but only if the product explains how to restore or maintain them and you follow those directions. “Reusable” by itself does not tell you how many cycles an insert will handle or what drying method is safe. For occasional use, a simple replacement routine may be easier than managing regeneration. For frequent use, compare the care instructions and storage needs before choosing a reusable set.
Is a 60M housing the right choice for every dive?
No. A depth rating is a stated limit for a particular housing, not a universal suitability guarantee for every dive or camera. Match the shell to your exact camera model and planned depth, and account for the maker’s operating instructions and the condition of the seals. The FitStill 60M listings in this roundup name different GoPro model ranges, so the depth figure does not remove the need to verify fit. Inspect and close the housing carefully before each trip.
Conclusion
For most owners who already have a compatible case, I’d choose the 120-pack reusable inserts as the best overall because its large supply suits repeated use. The best value by practical fit is the 60-piece insert option for buyers who want a mid-sized supply, while the CamKix 20-pack is best for beginners who prefer to start small with silica-gel inserts. For a complete protective setup, the FitStill 60M housing for the exact GoPro generation is my premium-style pick; the Walking Way case is the specific choice for buyers using its listed 360-camera models and seeking a stated 45M rating. Before ordering, confirm whether you need inserts or a shell, match the product to your camera, and check the housing’s depth rating and sealing instructions.
