Product Information

CRADLE INCLUDED: This Waterproof Floating Hand Grip Pole features a Detachable Cradle for your GoPro WiFi remote (WiFi remote not included). Conclusion: The FitStill Waterproof Monopod Floating Hand Grip for GoPro Hero is a must-have accessory for anyone looking to capture stunning underwater footage. Its waterproof design and floating hand grip make it easy to use and ensures that your camera stays afloat while capturing footage. Its adjustable length allows you to capture footage from different angles, making it a versatile accessory. While it may not be suitable for very deep diving it's certainly an affordable option. MULTI-PURPOSE HOLLOW COMPARTMENT - KEEP YOUR ESSENTIAL SAFE WHILE IN WATER: The watertight compartment of the grip can be used either as a storage for valuable small items to keep dry; or to achieve neutral buoyancy during scuba diving, snorkelling and other underwater activities. When the handle is filled with water it hovers neutrally underwater without forcing its way up to the surface, while used with no water in the chamber it turn into a camera floater and float on water surface.

STORAGE COMPARTMENT: The cap on the bottom of the Floating Hand Grip can be unscrewed to reveal a hollow compartment that can be used to add water (to achieve neutral buoyancy underwater) or store small items.

What is a floating GoPro handle? A floating GoPro handle is a buoyant accessory that can be attached to your GoPro camera to help it float in the water while you're taking photos or videos. This versatile, lightweight grip is comfortable and has a number of added features that make it especially useful around water. The air-tight compartment inside the handle can be accessed by unscrewing the base – allowing you to keep valuables like cash, keys or batteries inside. Alternatively, it can be filled with water, making the entire mount neutrally buoyant – and perfect for filming while diving. Floating GoPro handles are designed to be buoyant in water and provide a convenient grip mount that securely attaches your camera to the handle, allowing you to enjoy the activity without worrying about dropping or losing your camera. The handle also helps keep your shots steady while recording underwater and offers better control when aiming the camera in any direction. What are some common problems with floating GoPro handles? With the models where the extension tubes form the flotation, they need to be fully extended to be able to float heavier GoPro models such as the Fusion or potentially, a GoPro with exterior accessories attached. Extending the sections means that they can hold more air. The poles are designed to float without being extended when standard GoPro models are attached without exterior accessories fitted.

How does a floating GoPro handle work? A floating GoPro handle works by using buoyant materials to keep your camera afloat in the water. The handle is typically designed to be easy to hold and maneuver, so you can use it to capture unique angles and perspectives while you're in the water.One minor gripe I have is that it uses white in place of a high-visibility yellow, orange, or green. Most of the time, that’s not an issue, but it can matter if you’re trying to spot the float amongst brash ice or surf foam. There is a small orange tab on the end of the handle that’s used as the attachment point for the wrist strap, but I’d be even happier if all of the white areas were replaced with something brighter. GoPole EVO Lightweight and compact: The hand grip is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry with you wherever you go. Before taking your new camera and float out on the water, it’s a good idea to test it out at home in a sink or tub. It’s better to discover any potential defects before you’re in deep water. The third is the 2in1 aspect that the product’s name refers to. You can unscrew the extension tubes entirely and, using an adapter that comes in the box, attach the camera directly to the handle section. That turns it into a handle grip. The method it uses to do this isn’t as convenient as the MicroJib Flow’s method—you’ll need the separate adapter and then have to do something with the float tubes—but it works and adds to the versatility. You then have a choice. By default, it will float just like a regular handle bobber. But if you need neutral buoyancy for Scuba diving, you can fill the compartment with water. Adjustable wrist strap: The adjustable wrist strap ensures that the handle stays securely attached to your wrist while in use.

The second is that you can screw off the cap of the handle to expose the interior of the handle. You can use it as a water-sealed container for keys or other small items you want to keep dry. These are generally marketed as GoPro float poles, and the amount of buoyancy they have is geared towards most of the GoPro models 1, but it’s possible to use them with other small waterproof cameras. You will, however, have to test the flotation with other cameras to make sure there’s enough buoyancy—something like the Olympus TG-6 would probably be too heavy, for instance. The FitStill Waterproof Monopod Floating Hand Grip for GoPro Hero is a versatile accessory that allows you to capture stunning underwater footage with ease. This hand grip is designed to keep your GoPro Hero camera afloat, making it easy to capture footage in water. As such, if portability or weight limitation is key then foam might not be the best choice. To find the perfect floating camera handle, consider the material and make sure it suits your specific needs. Extra Features

Key Features

When you're choosing a floating GoPro handle, consider factors like buoyancy, grip, and compatibility with your camera. With the right floating GoPro handle in hand, you'll be able to take your underwater photography and videography to the next level. The large diameter octagonal-shaped rubberized grip gives you an extra secure hold – and is comfortable to hold for hours at a time. It also works well outside of the water, making filming on dry land a breeze. The hand grip is waterproof and can be used in depths of up to 16 feet, making it perfect for capturing footage while snorkeling, diving, or swimming. The grip is also adjustable and can extend from 7 inches to 19 inches, allowing you to capture footage from different angles. Things To Know: The telescoping sections are skinny, but they appear to be made of aluminum rather than plastic. While that does add a little extra weight, it makes a difference with stiffness, and I haven’t found any of the whipping movement you can get with some other thin telescoping sections. Comfortable grip: The hand grip features a soft and non-slip material that provides a comfortable and secure grip, even in wet conditions.

If you’re looking for a floating GoPro handle that gets the job done and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, then this is the grip for you. It’s compatible with all GoPro models and provides a sure grip even in wet conditions. The foam handle is buoyant and comfortable to hold for long periods of time. It’s designed to flip butt-end up when submerged in water, which exposes the bright orange part of the handle so it’s easy to spot. The wrist lanyard is also comfortable and convenient, allowing you to shoot for hours at a time without worry. A wrist-strap attachment allows you to tether the grip to your wrist. A carabineer is also included, but it has a tendency to unscrew the base and cause water to leak in, so you’re better off using it with the wrist lanyard.Adjustable wrist strap: The adjustable wrist strap ensures that you won't lose your camera while in use. Removable tripod mount: The hand grip features a removable tripod mount, allowing you to attach your camera to a tripod or other mounting accessory. The hollowed out hand grip can be used to store important items like cash, SD cards or batteries. It can also be filled with water, creating a neutrally buoyant compartment ideal for filming while diving.
