Check out what this reviewer thought after the first 3-6 months.
Exactly what we needed!
Great material for a good grip, especially for things like hiking, bike riding and 4 wheel driving. The angle is good (once I put it on the right way), good weight and the strap is very handy. Dropped it in a river and it popped right up the top and floated like described - lucky for me! Very handy accessory.

Q: Will The Handler keep a GoPro afloat if it’s dropped in the water?
A: Yes. The Handler is designed as a floating hand grip for GoPro cameras, so it helps keep the camera on the surface if dropped in water. It is best suited to normal GoPro setups, as heavier add-ons can affect buoyancy.
Q: Which GoPro cameras work with The Handler?
A: The Handler is compatible with GoPro HERO cameras, including older HERO3 series models through to newer HERO models. It uses GoPro’s standard mounting system, so camera fit is broad, but accessory weight can still change how it floats.
Q: Does The Handler work like a selfie stick or extension pole?
A: No. The Handler is a floating hand grip, not an extending pole, so it is built for a secure hold in and around water rather than extra reach. If longer framing distance is the priority, an extension pole is the better match.
Q: Can you quickly swap The Handler between mounts or setups?
A: Yes. The Handler includes a quick-release style base, which makes it easier to move your GoPro between this grip and other compatible GoPro mounts. That is useful if filming both handheld water shots and fixed-angle footage on the same day.
Q: Is The Handler easy to spot if it falls into the water?
A: Yes. The Handler has a bright orange end that is designed to make it easier to see in the water after a drop. That added visibility is especially useful for surfing, kayaking or snorkelling, where small black accessories can be harder to track.
