Let's dive straight into this floating selfie stick that promises to be your perfect companion for water adventures. I took it on a snorkeling trip, and here's the real deal.
The Good: First off, the bright orange color is a lifesaver—literally. When I accidentally dropped it in the water, it was easy to spot. The floating feature works as advertised, keeping my GoPro Hero 10 afloat even without the dive case. The grip is comfortable, with a non-slip texture that held up well despite my wet hands.
The Versatility: It’s a 4-in-1 tool—selfie stick, monopod, tripod, and hand grip. I used it as a tripod on rocky shores, and the extendable pole (8 to 27 inches) was handy for getting those wide-angle shots. The wrist strap adds peace of mind when you're filming from a boat or SUP.
The Not-So-Good: The build feels lightweight, almost cheap. While it survived my snorkeling week, I noticed you have to baby it—no wild swings or using it as a weapon against curious fish! Also, the tripod legs won’t stand if the pole is fully collapsed; you need to extend the lowest tube slightly.
Durability Concerns: Mixed reviews here. Mine held up fine with careful use, but some users reported breakage (like the head snapping off mid-dive). If you’re rough with gear or planning intense activities, this might not survive long-term.
Final Verdict: For casual water use—snorkeling, beach trips—it’s a budget-friendly option that floats and functions. But if you need rugged reliability, invest in a higher-end model like Nu Bear (when in stock). Treat it gently, and it’ll serve you well; abuse it, and you’ll be fishing your GoPro from the ocean floor.
