I took this wrist strap to Florida Sea Base (a Boy Scout High adventure base) and it held up great! This Float Pro Wrist Strap saved my GoPro Hero 4 Black twice and was easy to use. Personally I would have benefited more from a floating handle attached to the GoPro for easy holding, however this wrist strap did its job very well and I do not see many problems with the design.
Pros
– Comfortable
– Adjustable
– Light Weight
– Easy to use
– Bright color for spotting float in water
– Fits Most Cameras
Cons
– Had to use an awkward claw grip for Go Pro
– My grip caused me to end recordings accidentally
Ideas for later revisions/products
– Changing color to orange interior with black trim for extra visibility.
– A Floating handle to accommodate both a standard camera mount and a GoPro mount for easy point and shoot videos.
Overall I found the Float Pro Floating Wrist Strap to be a strong product and it held up well in rough conditions with no damage. This strap saved my camera investment and allowed me to be comfortable taking my GoPro in the ocean. I highly recommend this product for anyone taking a camera in the water.

These people are GREAT! Super fast & even emailed me personally to check on how I liked the item. It is very comfortable and I really LOVE the sporty look. It easily attached to my camera and made me feel my camera was much safer while in the ocean off Cozumel. I understand another model in in the works which may work better for my camera as it weighs a few more ounces then the float-pro was rated to float. I knew that going in but still felt way more secure with and in no way regret the purchase. Will for sure by a new model if one is developed for a slightly heavier camera. Thanks float-pro!!.
update! I got the newer version and it totally floats my Canon D30!! I see someone else noted that the original did, but that was not my experience. Not sure how it could have given the weight but….. I liked the original however the newer model is way better for my camera. These float pro people are wonderful. Really I can not recommend enough! Well worth having!!!

Fantastic GoPro accessory if you’re going in the water. Especially for swimming/diving/snorkeling, where you may need to let go of the camera occasionally. Plenty of buoyancy yet nicely compact. Seems well made and pretty durable. I had it in and out of the ocean for a week and it still looks brand new – just a quick rinse in fresh water to remove the salt.
For some reason the orange color was slightly cheaper, but there seems to be no deficit of visibility or sexiness. Well worth the $13 I paid for it, to float my $300+ camera in case I dropped it in the Pacific. Adjustment gadget works great – not quite snug enough for my aerodynamic wrists, but then there’s also a snap closure, and that sucker is pretty tight. I will be using this thing a lot for sure.

Bought this to use on HERO4 during our recent trip to Mexico. Was extremely convenient to simply have my camera attached to my forearm while diving/snorkeling. However, the little part that attaches the camera to the strap came apart on me(Fluke accident?) and I had to swim down about 25ft to retrieve my camera from the ocean’s floor. This would typically warrant a bad review from me except upon my return home, I emailed and let them know what had happened.
No questions asked, they refunded my original purchase and apologized for my bad experience. They are also sending me replacement piece so I can still use the product in the future, which I plan to do! The product really is great. I may have just gotten that one-in-a-thousand that had a flaw.
Products can always be good or bad, but it’s the customer service that means the most to me, and these folks have it in spades. =)
Yes, I had a minor bad experience due to a product fault, but I’m giving the 5-stars based solely on the excellent CS.
Thanks, Kris!

This Float sure came in handy on a trip to Jamaica earlier this year. At first, I had some anxiety that somehow the cord would not be snug on the GoPro case since it was just a simple tie. But after jumping in and giving a few tugs, I felt confident nothing would happen. Snorkling was nice; I could let me hands free to swim and the float kept the GoPro nicely dangling behind me. I didn’t have any thought about losing my camera the entire trip. As a few other mentioned, the wrist strap is VERY thick. I left it unsnapped. If I snapped the button, it was very tight around my wrists. The little quick disconnect buckle is nice and sturdy. I didn’t really use it for anything, but it’s a nice feature. The only thing I noticed after the fact is the orange stips got washed out by the sun, and now mine has a white/orange look to it, instead of the super bright orange when it was brand new. I look forward to using it this summer in our pool and when we go camping.

I don’t disbelieve the many positive reviews here; however, everyone should be warned that this product canNOT be considered reliable. Within the first five minutes of use in the ocean, and the very first “test” of the strap, my kid’s GoPro and our trip’s photos and videos were lost forever. Cannot begin to explain the awful feeling of looking down to see the end of the strap empty. And the frustration of wasting hours searching… Does not hold up to the claim: “The strap attaches securely and easily with a sturdy quick release clip that has the strongest lanyard to withstand big waves and rocky waters” The thin cord that attaches to the clip had failed with the first wave to bump it. Look elsewhere, this product can’t be trusted.
