Sametop Floating Handle Grip Floaty Stick Waterproof Handler Accessory Compatible with GoPro Hero 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, Session, 3+, 3, Hero(2018), Max, DJI Osmo Action Cameras (Blue)

I recently bought an Osmo Action 3 to record holiday and family adventures. This piece of kit has proven to be the best value of all the add ons I bought. It really is go anywhere robust and versatile as a hand held both in an out of the water - if I dropped it when kayaking or snorkelling, it just floats to the surface, the yellow plastic being easy to spot. The waterproof 'inner chamber' is an added bonus - the end just screws out (two rubber ring seals) so you pop in your room key or any cash you may need for a post snorkel beer.

Bought this to take on holiday, great piece of kit. Has a hollow inside to store money or go pro accessories. had my go pro attached for most of the holiday, threw it off the side of a boat in turkey and it definitely makes the camera float.No water got inside it either.Defo recommended.

Sturdy and works well with go pro 7 black.Was water proof on a few occasions and not waterproof on others... it may have something to do with the way I was tightening the base.Put it this way, I wouldn’t put an important document inside as you never know what could happen. To be honest though you wouldn’t exactly be going through your tax returns whilst snorkelling so I don’t see the problem. Unless you prefer to do your admin whilst floating in the sea face down. Then I would definitely not recommend this product. If however, you are looking for something to put a GoPro on whilst snorkelling or having fun times in water, even the bath, then this my friend is for you!!!!

I purchased the Sametop Floaty to replace a standard (cheapish) yellow flotation handle that came as part of a generic GoPro accessories kit. Unfortunately the tightening screw had become corroded after immersion in the sea. Determined to get a good quality replacement for my GoPro Hero 6, I tried this device having previously been impressed with the quality of Sametop accessories. So far I have not been disappointed. As advertised, the Floaty handle has a stainless steel screw, a really good non-slip grip and a compartment for notes etc. Attention to detail is high with, for example, the two O-rings fitted on the screw-in base to ensure a good seal. The Floaty also has a quality fabric wrist-strap rather than the usual thin 'nylon string' used in other handles that I've used.UPDATE: I’ve now tested the Sametop Hand Grip both in a pool and the sea (the Mediterranean) using the GoPro Hero 6 and the Sony FDR-x3000 action cams and found it to be a really secure way of handling these cameras in the water. When let go, the base of the handle points vertically above the surface with the camera below the water as you might expect. For me, the grip’s bright colouring minimised the risk of losing track of the camera. I also kept money in the handle making sure that the cap was screwed fully home. The contents remained dry after several hours of use with no sign of water in the barrel. The fabric strap does get wet compared with the nylon type but dried quickly in the sun. So after some extensive use, I would recommend this to anyone wanting to use an action cam in the water.

Great for under water. will float and the strap is handy.

Nice size and sturdy. Feels very secure and the added bonus of somewhere to keep cash safe and dry in the handle.

Works well and is significantly cheaper than the GoPro version.My GoPro floats to the surface and the coloured end makes it easier to see. The strap is useful for not dropping it in the first place.Used this on holiday filming in the surf and on my SUP.

The media could not be loaded. The floating part is questionable when you have the weight of the GoPro attached.
