GoPro Floaty (HERO11 Black/HERO10 Black/HERO9 Black) - Official Accessory

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. Now it has been well tested I will write a review.Having just bought a Gopro and an ordinary land use (non floating) extendable selfie stick to attach it to, I didn't want to risk losing my camera when snorkelling, so I bought one of these float/protectors. It did exactly what I was hoping it would. If I dropped my Gopro in the water, even with an extendable selfie stick attached, it managed to float enough to just break the surface and being a bright orange colour it was easily spotted.What they don't promote is that this robust foam rubber housing is also very protective. It's a bit of a squeeze to put the float housing on and take it off again, so I'm very careful to not press against the camera screens while I'm doing it, however once on it provides a Gopro with quite a bit of protection against being knocked. I effectively used it as a protective case while travelling and in rough environments. On one occasion, I snorkelled onto a rough sandy beach and was being repeatedly dragged about by the waves while trying to get my fins off. I was really concerned my Gopro was going to get scratched, but I think this float housing really helped save it as I had no issues. The lens is not covered so this cannot be guaranteed, but it really helps.On land it does bulk out what is otherwise a small camera, but especially in the water and around boats, with everything swaying and knocking, this is a very good piece of kit and I thoroughly recommend it!

The GoPro Floaty is an absolute game-changer for any water activity involving your GoPro! It’s incredibly easy to attach, and once in place, it does exactly what it’s supposed to—keeps your GoPro afloat!I’ve used it during a few swimming and kayaking sessions, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my GoPro wouldn’t sink if it slipped out of my hand or dropped into the water. The bright orange color makes it easy to spot, even in choppy waters.The quality is excellent, and it’s definitely built to last. If you’re someone who uses your GoPro near water, the GoPro Floaty is a must-have accessory—highly recommended! 🌊📸 Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is really great. Fits perfectly. Protects gopro and floats

It’s very good quality

Great that it floats. Difficult to fit and remove as it’s a tight fit. Hard to use buttons with gloves.

Thumb screw to secure the Camera to the mount was missing. So can only be hand held.

It's well made but for the price I'd have expected it to come with a lanyard or safety tether or at least a sturdy ring on the tether point so you can clip a diving tether to it.
