Nice handle, iffy on floating
This handle feels pretty nice in the hand and is sturdy without being too weighty. The foam on the handle is a nice non-slip grip and comfort addition. I used to grip to take some pictures and videos and it felt comfortable for even several minutes of usage straight. A (potentially) big issue I had: I went diving, upon entering the water I tested the handle for its ability to float and it did, barely - but it did float with the orange end just at the waters surface. Went on a dive and took the GoPro down about 20 feet and tested it again - when I let it go it slowly started to sink. Unfortunately this handle seems to only float on the surface (or when it hasn't become waterlogged). If you dropped this off your boat or while swimming it may be fine, but divers beware, if you drop this during a dive it will probably end up on the bottom. I would still use this handle as it is comfortable, but if you are diving I'd recommend a better floating handle or tie something to the GoPro that will send it to the surface if you lose it.

Worked Great First Day
The first day I used this floating grip while on a 2 week snorkeling trip in Indonesia the small connector piece between the grip and the strap separated and a piece was lost on the boat. Ugh. I had to rig a new connection with remaining tiny string and large elastic. I would like to get a replacement strap if possible? Otherwise the grip worked great. I was able to let it float alongside me when not using. Grip dried quickly even in the humidity. Except for the failed connector, all else was fine. Also, one final recommendation, please make the thin string looped to the grip more flexible and add an extending capability. The small string regularly became tightly wound in the Indonesian currents. Thanks

What else do I need to buy to make it attachable?
Have a Hero 13 got my handler in the mail. . . . and no way to attach it.

A must-have for lake days
I primarily use my gopro in/around the water. This handle is an absolute necessity for me. 100% positive buoyancy gives me the comfort of knowing that if it falls off of the boat or out of my hand it will float for easy retrieval.

Useful but did not float
I used it with my GOPRO 13 black and a waterproof protective case. However, when I briefly let go it did not float! I bought it a couple of years ago. Is this a newer model? Looks the same as the picture.

Do not buy if you want to keep your GoPro
First time using it, had the GoPro Hero 12 locked in to the handle, that I checked 4 times just to make sure it wouldn't come out while I rode the Efoil and it popped right out and sank to the bottom of Lake Powell. Lost all my footage from the trip. 0/10 this product isn't even close to worth it. Do not buy.

The mount for the camera is not included
I thought the product is ready to use. The pictures shows a camera mounted on the product but this is misleading. You need the other mount which connects the camera to the floating handle. Now I have to order again paying the transport. They had to mention that the mount is not included and should be purchased separately
