Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the Floaty Backdoor's ability to keep their GoPro afloat and its ease of use. Many appreciate its bright color for visibility and the added protection it provides. However, some customers find the Floaty Backdoor to be bulky and heavy, impacting portability and potentially affecting its flotation capabilities with certain accessories. Concerns were also raised regarding compatibility with some GoPro models and the obstruction of the LCD screen.

    We had several age ranges from 10 - 46 yr olds using camera in all kinds of water. Great insurance when that unexpected wave came crashing down and camera pops right back up when out of hand.

    Kind of big but does what it needs to

    It's kind of big and obnoxious colored, but that's the point right? Keep your $300+ camera afloat and easy to spot should you drop it in the lake, pond, ocean, whatever. Cheap $15 insurance.

    I can't wait to use this over the summer in the pool when it'll be fun to use the camera both under and over the water and allow it to just float with the floaty back door when not using it!

    I purchased this before a trip to the lake. The floaty backdoor worked perfectly. Prior to this I had tried to use other devices to keep the GoPro from sinking but they didn't work well.

    I have had no issues with this product. I would not depend on it to save your GoPro if you lose it while snorkeling in a high current environment such as the ocean.

    The job of this is to bring your camera to the top of the water if you lose it. It does just that. I'm very satisfied with the product for that reason. It is excellent and easy to use.

    A lifesaver for GoPro

    This is literally a lifesaver for your GoPro camera. It floats and is bright enough where you should be able to see it floating along. Recommended for avid water users of the GoPro.

    This saved my GoPro. Went jet skiing and I lost control with the GoPro flying out of my hands. The floaty kept it afloat and visible for me to grab and continue with the adventure.

    They come out with new editions with different items included. This was an older version so it was on sale and I had a rewards certificate. I'm sure there are also plenty of 3rd party OEM makers of the same thing that are better and probably cheaper because they don't have the GoPro logo on it.

    Don't want your GO PRO sinking to the bottom?

    This is the perfect solution for keeping your go pro from sinking to the bottom of the sea AND being able to spot it right away if it gets away from you. What more can you ask for?

    I hope that I do not have to use this anytime soon, but I definitely feel like my GoPro is protected when we use it for water sports. Thankful that the salesperson recommended it!

    So far, my only outing with the floaty has been in a pool where it is not that likely it will be lost, even if it sinks to the bottom. I am looking forward to next summer on the lake when I see if it really does the trick.

    I bought this for my GoPro Hero 4 so we could take it on a river trip, although my GoPro was connected to the GoPro Arm/tripod/selfie stick thing, it did still slightly float and was bright enough to see it underwater. So it did do its job! Good but if you're using your GoPro in water

    If you are in deep water and not an excellent swimmer (snorkeling) and you drop your camera this will keep it a float. You may not be able to dive that deep, Well worth the money!!!

    Bought this for a last minute trip to Vegas. Worked great! Dropped the camera a couple of times when jumping off of cliffs and could always find it floating around the water.

    Love that I dont have to worry about my Go Pro being at the bottom of the ocean! It is much better than the floaty thing that hangs off of the camera and gets in the way.

    Yes this product really works! I was out on my jet ski and threw my go pro in the ocean and it floated right back up. I recommend a back door floaty for all water activities

    I love water so I gotta get this item for my GoPro. Never lose your GoPro again when you swim! It even work if you're using your selfie stick in the water. It'll float!
