    Works but not for heavy attachments

    If you wanna just use your gopro by itself or with light attachments, this will work great. It won't be useful for selfie sticks or other heavy attachments. You're better off with a tether or a floaty selfie stick of some sort.

    I purchased the Go Pro floaty back door for added insurance. I attached it to my diving mask with an included Go Pro camera mount. After a little tweaking, it did it's job and fit well. If it ever came off, I could always go back above water and find it easily especially with it's bright orange color.

    Got this for my go pro. So that when I’m filming my fishing adventures I won’t lose it in the water. You never know when that one fish will smack it right off your chest and it goes flying in the water.

    My Hero 5 was spared recently when boating at Jordan Lake. The camera was housed in this life vest for GoPros. My little GoPro Hero 5 is alive and working and still with his family because I used this life vest. Protect you loved ones, in the digital world, with this product.

    I bought this for my dive gear, that being said, I don’t like the fact that it covers the screen. I will say however, the one time that my snap ring broke and my camera went floating upward, I did appreciate the protection.

    It does the job. I've taken the go pro to the lake several times and wasn't worried about losing it in the water. Only flaw is you don't have access to the screen when this is on. However I feel it's necessary because accidents happen.

    Great product and lasted throughout the extreme salty Fiji waters. The bright color made it easy to find if your go pro gets out of sight. Good investment for those filming in water.

    Saves Gopro in Ocean

    Strong adhesive backing to secure onto the GoPro supersuit. Used this in the ocean while film-making and surfing. Bright orange color to contrast against the blue water. Pair this with a GoPro Handler and your GoPro would be very difficult to loose.

    If you own a go pro and plan on going in the water. Then this is a must buy. Took the family to kauai and this float kept us worry free while in the ocean and water. Worked best with just he case and float.

    GoPro has done a good job ensuring their products don't leave the customer dissatisfied. Does exactly as advertised and keeps my camera dry when dropped in the lakes and allows for quick and easy retrieval.

    It was easy to attach the floaty part to Hero 4 Door that is included. You do want to make sure you read the instructions and make sure to wait for the floaty to adhesive to fully seal before using.

    Does what I want it to do, keeps my Gopro on top of the water where I can find it. Lose it every so often when scuba diving or snorkeling with head strap, I always know where it is now, on the surface!

    Includes everything needed to ensure your gopro is safe if it goes overboard. The float is much bigger than some 3rd party ones and keeps the camera afloat much better.

    This is something we bought to use at the lake. We never used it but it looks like it would work just fine for having your device float.

    This floater was easy to attach to the gopro and convenient. I took this for my trip to Hawaii to go snorkeling. It provides enough force to float on its own but not difficult to submerge.
