GoPro Handler Floating Hand Grip (Official GoPro Accessory)

Product Information

The official floating hand grip from GoPro does an incredible job keeping your camera afloat and enables you to shoot worry-free around the water. Waterproof and floating design: The hand grip is designed to keep your camera afloat in the water and features a waterproof construction to keep your camera safe from water damage. Using a floating GoPro handle can help prevent your camera from sinking to the bottom of the water if it accidentally slips out of your hand.

Whether you're experienced or just starting out, read on to find out about 5 of the top floating GoPro handles. These handles don’t extend, so they don’t offer any extra leverage for filming, but their compact size makes them much easier to carry. 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.Finally, saltwater can corrode plastic parts – especially those where screws are inserted – leading to instability or even breakage of parts. The wrist lanyard is also comfortable and convenient, allowing you to shoot for hours at a time without worry.

The most common type would be a reverse GoPro tripod adapter that connects the GoPro attachment to a standard tripod thread. At the base of the handle is a brightly colored butt, which will float on the surface making it easy to spot amongst the waves.If the action camera already uses the GoPro three-pronged attachment system, as cameras like those from Akaso and the DJI Osmo Action do, you’re all set. My images have appeared in numerous publications, and you can check out some of my travel photography here. Included with the floating handle is a double mount – allowing you to attach two separate cameras or smartphones at the same time. Floating design: The floating body of the handle keeps your camera and accessory on the water surface and prevents it from drowning, making it perfect for water sports and underwater photography.

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. Alternatively you can add water to the hand grip compartment, so the bobber can achieve neutral buoyancy underwater. 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.This makes it perfect for one-handed use, allowing you to capture action footage while surfing, waterskiing and other watersports. The FitStill Waterproof Monopod Floating Hand Grip for GoPro Hero is a versatile accessory that allows you to capture stunning underwater footage with ease.

A cradle for holding a GoPro WiFi remote is built into the bottom of the telescoping pole section, which makes taking selfies a breeze. The telescoping pole section is made from durable transparent plastic, making it seemingly disappear in photos. I’ll try to keep an eye out for new notable options that become available and try my best to test them and update here as necessary. Finally, check the manufacturer’s user reviews to get an idea of how stable their particular model actually is. The non-slip rubber construction means this handle won’t quickly disintegrate in either the sun or saltwater.This allows you to film in both directions simultaneously, or it can be used to attach an underwater light.
