Let me start by saying, if you're into water sports and own an action camera, the SEASKY F1 Floating Grip is an absolute game-changer. I've taken mine on multiple snorkeling trips and beach outings, and it's proven its worth time and again.
The buoyancy is impressive - even with my GoPro Hero 10 in its waterproof case attached, it stays afloat without any issues. The bright orange color makes it super visible in the water, which gave me peace of mind when I accidentally dropped it during a particularly rough surf session.
I particularly appreciate the multi-functional design. It works seamlessly with my GoPro Hero 10 and my friend's Insta360 X3. The rubber handle provides excellent grip whether my hands are wet or dry, though I do wish the wrist strap was a bit more secure - I ended up replacing it with a coiled one for extra safety.
One minor complaint: the camera connector piece can be a bit wobbly if not tightened perfectly. It took me a few tries to get it just right, but once secured properly, I had no issues even during active water sports.
Compared to more expensive branded float grips I've used before, this one offers nearly identical performance at a fraction of the price. After using it extensively in both saltwater and freshwater environments, I can confidently say it's durable - just remember to rinse it after saltwater use.
Bottom line: For anyone who doesn't want to risk losing their expensive action camera to Davy Jones' locker, this affordable floating grip is worth every penny.
