Floats to keep action cameras on the surface and improves handheld stability in water. Bright colour cap increases visibility while textured TPE rubber improves grip.


Keep Cameras Visible and Recoverable – With a Bright Colour Buoyant Cap

A buoyant float keeps attached cameras at or near the water surface, while a high-visibility colour cap makes spotting easier in open water. The cap is designed to be distinct against typical sea and pool colours, aiding quick retrieval.

Fewer lost shots and less time spent searching after a drop, especially useful for surfing, snorkelling and swimming.

Steadier Handheld Footage – With a Textured TPE Rubber Grip

Textured TPE rubber increases friction between hand and handle, improving hold in wet conditions. The grip also functions as a monopod-style mount for added leverage and more controlled framing.

More stable footage when paddling or riding waves, and easier adjustment of shooting angles for varied action shots.

Secure Handling and Loss Prevention – Thanks to a Lockable Adjustable Wrist Strap

Lockable adjustable wrist strap fastens around the wrist to reduce the chance of accidental drops in choppy conditions. Compatibility with a 1/4" nut means cameras attach using a standard tripod thread.

Less risk of losing expensive kit during active water use, giving confidence during diving, wakeboarding and snorkelling.
