Hi Martin,

I'm sure this combo, or similar, plus a little adaptation would fine...

For completeness test the dome for simulated rain prior to use and/or add sealant preferably on the inside, if possible, at the interface between clear dome cover and housing. The dome is specified as 90mm in height and so should easily house the camera with its all-sky wide angle lens probably 40-45mm in height. If you want to get the cable out from the base of the dome cover and keep the camera on axis with the dome centre (preferable) then you may need to use a right angle USB plug cable due to clearance with the inside side of the dome housing.

Best
JA
