Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Floaty for HERO8 Black for its ability to keep their GoPro afloat, providing peace of mind during water activities. The bright color of the floaty also makes it easy to spot in the water, reducing the risk of losing the camera. While some users find the floaty to be a bit bulky for a head strap, many appreciate the added safety it provides.

    Although I use a tether, I like the security knowing my gopro will float if the mount fails and tether snaps. My GoPro 8 Max fits securely in the float and if it falls into the lake, I will be able to see it.

    While the Go Pro 8 is very durable and waterproof, this floating enclosure is nice to have. For the most part, yes you’ll probably use a GoPro harness of some sort, but if you want to go hands free and/or don’t want to risk your GoPro disappearing in the water, then this is a great purchase!

    Works exactly as expected! Just remember to point the little connectors down first haha or youll have to take it right back off to connect to other accessories.

    The Floaty Protective case for GoPro Hero 8 is bulky but that's good I don't know how many times I set my GoPro down and lost track of it so the bright orange really helps with that, not to mention the foam to help protect from the normal dings it would of got.

    Does indeed float! And bright color helps with spotting it on open water. Worth the buy. A bit tough to get in/out/change attachments, but prefer that it is snug. Used it as a fulltime standalone case also when on an adventure vacation.

    Had this for our vacation in HI. Worked perfectly. The high visibility color made sure we didn’t lose it in the water. Had this on a GoPro shorty and it floated just fine.

    So much better than the prior version. This one actually adds protection for the camera itself. It creates additional visibility if needed.

    Purchased this to help protect the camera, so haven't tried it in water, but assume it floats well. If you have allergies or issues with smells, just be advised that it has a strong imported plastic smell for a while when first opened.

    This is the best accessory that you can have, if you shoot a lot in the water and mostly if you shoot surfing in general, because honestly I lost couple of them, just for don’t want to Pay few bugs Extra for the floaty!. This little device had been help me a lot and give a so much confidence, in my everyday shooting in the ocean!.

    This is a must have accessory for your GoPro if you are going to be taking it on the water. I will say though that it is tough to get the camera attached to other accessories when this is on it as it makes the camera very bulky.
