FLOATS IN WATER: When you drop this floating hand grip/pole into the water, it will float. Its bright color will make it easy to spot. Alternatively you can add water to the hand grip compartment, so the bobber can achieve neutral buoyancy underwater. 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. Traditional bobber handles float, but they only give you about 6 inches of reach, at most. But what if you want some extra reach to get closer or a higher vantage point? Maybe you want to get closer to the underwater wildlife (and no, I’m definitely not condoning bothering the animals), or perhaps you want a higher vantage point for a different perspective than standard eye level. Its core consists of two transparent tubes, with one sliding into the other. They’re separated by an o-ring to keep the water out. At one end is a handgrip. At the other end is the camera mount point.

Lastly, go with brightly colored floating GoPro handles whenever possible. High-viz colors like neon orange or yellow are much easier to spot on the water’s surface than darker tones. FAQ Can you mount GoPro handles directly on paddle boards? When choosing the best floating GoPro handle for your needs, there are several factors to take into consideration: Stability

New Model: GoPro HERO12 Black

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. Comfortable grip: The hand grip features a textured handle that provides a comfortable and secure grip, even in wet conditions. Compatibility: The Sametop Floating Hand Grip is compatible with all GoPro Hero cameras, including the Hero 9/8/7/6/5/4/3+/3/2/1 models. Rubber has an improved ability to stay afloat, which makes it ideal for deeper waters or when dealing with larger waves. Foam is well known for its superior buoyance capabilities, yet this comes at a cost as it tends to be heavier and bulkier than other materials.

Adjustable wrist strap: The adjustable wrist strap ensures that the handle stays securely attached to your wrist while in use. Two in one functionality – can be used as a standalone floating hand grip or with the extendable telescoping pole One of the immediate challenges of shooting in water with GoPros is that they don’t float. If you’re in a pool that’s only 6 feet deep, that’s not much of a problem. But if you’re in deeper waters—perhaps surfing, body boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, Scuba diving, or boating—you don’t want your camera ending up on the bottom of the ocean, lake, or river. There are several different ways to make GoPros float, and I’ve covered some of them separately. What I’m focusing on here are GoPro float poles that give you flotation as well as extension. It’s worth noting that there are quite a few GoPro poles that are marketed as waterproof, but that doesn’t mean they float. I’m focusing here on the ones that provide buoyancy.
