I took The Handler on a kayaking trip last weekend, and it completely changed how I capture water footage. The bright orange float kept my GoPro bobbing safely even when I fumbled mid-paddle – no more heart-stopping drops!
The grip feels like a firm handshake – not too squishy, not too rigid. Even after hours of saltwater use, the textured surface stayed grippy. I particularly loved how the wrist strap let me dangle it casually between shots without worrying about losing it to the waves.
What surprised me most was how naturally it floats camera-up. Unlike cheaper knockoffs that tilt awkwardly, this keeps your lens perfectly positioned for surfacing shots. The quick-release base made switching between kayak mounts and handheld mode effortless during transitions.
After three days of constant water exposure, it dried overnight with zero funky smells or texture changes. At this price point, it outperforms every aftermarket float grip I've tried. Whether you're wakeboarding or just poolside filming, this little orange lifesaver belongs in your gear bag.
