X2 on the SD card slot. Do youself a favor and buy from West Marine and buy the extended warranty.

I had a Hook 5 for all of one trip, rinsed it down and the SD card slot had a punky gasket. Returned it and got a new one.

On the new one, I applied clear caulk around the door. If you need to access the door, just scrape the caulk off, do your upgrades, etc and then reapply the caulk. Pretty cheap solution with minimal downside.
