Q: Does the GoPro floaty work with HERO4?

A: Works Great on my new GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Prefect fits.

Q: Does floaty back door cover lcd screen?

A: Yes, the big orange floaty mounts to the waterproof screen on the back of the GoPro via double side tape which will cover my lcd screen. But I just use my Galaxy Note 4 phone to view and control the GoPro from.

Q: hello wanted to know if the two are Mounting Adhesive to stick on the surfboard, thank you very much. greetings

A: The sticky on the floaty is to attach to the wTerproof case for camera, not a board. You will need a different adapter for that. And be sure to test it in shallow water before you go out. The floaty is made to float the camera only.

Q: Does the GoPro Floaty Backdoor work with the GoPro Hero 3+

A: The floaty would fit any gopro. It just adheres to the back door and then you can swap out the floaty door with a non floaty back door.

Q: Will this work with the hero 5?

A: Yes I bought for hero 5 and it works

Q: Will this work on a Hero Sessions?

A: No it will not.

Q: Will this float the GoPro if attached to a quick pod? I prefer to use my quick pod selfie extreme because it extends longer.

A: Yes it will. I had mine on my selfie stick and it floated.

Does what it needs to do
The floaty back door does exactly as it says. It keeps the GoPro floating. The orange color is easy to see as well. Only drawback is that it blacks the LCD screen on my GoPro Hero 4.

Cheap insurance for greater peace of mind!
I used the Floaty pad in combination with "The Bobber" handle on a recent boating / snorkeling outing. The Floaty element of the combination seemed to be well designed. I wanted the pad for floatation during boating. And found the handle helpful during snorkeling. Either device alone probably would have been more than adequate for flotation. Attaching the Floaty pad: The Floaty has a large adhesive pad to attach it to the back of the GoPro case. The Floaty covers essentially the entire back face of the GoPro case, so aligning it when attaching it to the back can be a bit tricky. You want the pad well centered but don't want it to interfere with the GoPro latch at the top if the case. What worked well for me was to put the Floaty pad down on a table, adhesive side up. Then press the provided spare door onto the Floaty pad. This allows you to look through the clear door as you are attaching it to the pad. Then remove the original GoPro door and snap this new one into place. Much easier to control the alignment than trying to press the Floaty onto the full GoPro case.
