    We purchased this item to go with our GoPro when we went to hawaii. We used it while hanging out in both the ocean and the pool and it did exactly what it should have. Great if you're wanting/needing a floaty device for your GoPro.

    Good accessory for using in deep waters. Will keep your GoPro afloat without and in plain sight; will not need to worry if it takes a dive and cannot be found once it hits the underwater ground.

    At the recommendation of a windsurfing buddy, I went for the added protection of a floaty in case I knocked my helmet mounted GoPro into the water.

    For any GoPro user who uses (or plans to use) the camera in water, this is definitely an accessory to consider. I haven't used mine yet but a buddy almost lost his camera in the lake after a kneeboard fall. This little accessory saved him from losing the camera. Obstructs the display is my only complaint. But in the water, adds some 'insurance' and piece of mind to possibly losing your GoPro to sinking to the bottom of any lake/ocean/river. Kinda makes you wonder how many GoPros are resting at the bottom of several bodies of water that may have been saved by this simple accessory? If you don't plan on taking this near water, this one is not for you.

    This item is rather snug on the camera so you have to fight with it a little bit to get it on. I guess it has to be so that it doesn't come off on the water. Gave it 4 stars because it is rather pricey for a little piece of foam.

    Lost my GoPro and went downstream of a river, found it an hour later still recording. Floaty kept the GoPro from sinking and was easy to find from the bright orange color. Definitely a must have when going on aquatic trips.

    Great to swap out with your back panel to save your camera from going to the bottom of the bay, ocean or lake. Only reason I gave 4 stars it doesn't fit well in any of my existing cases due to being a bit cumbersome, but works!

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Didn’t come with any instructions and had to look up online how to use it. The clear door included does not seem to fit the housing the hero 7 came with but the black door does. Still not sure what the circle is meant to be attached to because all the tutorials say if you attach any other accessories it won’t float anymore. Wouldn’t buy again but probably going to keep and not return.

    You really need this whenever you're near water. The only downside to this is it blocks the screen on the back of the hero 4 silver and hero 5 black. I used this on my hero 4 black which it doesn't have a screen on the back so it was no problem. There is a third party floaty that is better in every way. You might want to check that out but this one works fine for me.

    Even though my GoPro in water proof to an extent it doesn't float if I drop it. At least with this floaty I can see it if I drop it.
