Product Information

The official floating hand grip from GoPro does an incredible job keeping your camera afloat and enables you to shoot worry-free around the water. It’s well-made, durable, and extremely buoyant. If you’re looking for a handle to use around saltwater and sand then this is the one for you. For that reason, I would argue a gimbal is no longer an essential accessory if you’re using a recent model like the GoPro 10, 11, or 12. You can always get the GoPro Volta official accessory if you just want a better handheld shooting experience (among other perks, like battery life and using it as a tripod). The GoPro Volta is recommended as a handheld shooting grip if you are satisfied with HyperSmooth stabilization results

Yes, you can mount GoPro handles directly on paddle boards. There are many products designed to be used on water surfaces, such as suction cup mounts that attach to the paddle board’s surface and floaty grips that enable your GoPro to stay above the waves. These make it easy and safe to capture amazing footage of your next adventure! How does a floating GoPro handle work? Floating handles are constructed out of a variety of materials including plastic, rubber, and foam. Plastic is an affordable option and is often used in inexpensive GoPro accessories but it may provide inferior buoyancy relative to more expensive options. And finally, it’s worth noting that the HyperSmooth image stabilization technology in GoPro cameras is less effective in low light conditions. In low lighting, a gimbal performs noticeably better, while giving you the benefits of disabling HyperSmooth like reduced battery consumption and no sensor crop. Aside from that, longer handles provide a bit more stability since they offer an extended reach in comparison to shorter grips. Price

The initial setup can be a little fiddly – and you will need to rebalance for different camera systems – but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s reasonably straightforward and the shots you can capture with it are easily worth the extra hassle. The large diameter octagonal-shaped rubberized grip gives you an extra secure hold – and is comfortable to hold for hours at a time. It also works well outside of the water, making filming on dry land a breeze.

As such, if portability or weight limitation is key then foam might not be the best choice. To find the perfect floating camera handle, consider the material and make sure it suits your specific needs. Extra Features

When choosing the best floating GoPro handle for your needs, there are several factors to take into consideration: Stability If you limit yourself to dedicated GoPro gimbals, there aren’t many recent options other than the two gimbals above. The Karma Grip’s biggest strengths are its ease of use and top-notch stabilization performance.

CRADLE INCLUDED: This Waterproof Floating Hand Grip Pole features a Detachable Cradle for your GoPro WiFi remote (WiFi remote not included). Because a GoPro has to be small, and do a lot of computing work to process stable video, it does use battery faster than a big camera. That's why it's important to keep more than one if you're looking to capture a day (or more). Why are there so many GoPro accessories?
