GoPro Floaty Backdoor

Works great and easy to use. We used this floaty on our camera attached to a wrist strap. A couple of times the strap came off our wrist while doing waterspouts, and this floaty saved our camera! It is a great bit of extra security. When the camera is in the water the orange float is on top and easy to see. The only downside that we ran into is that if you are using a head strap it can prevent the camera from rotating back far enough to get the best angle. But we were able to adjust the head strap a bit to compensate. Installing was a piece of cake if you know how to change the backdoors on your GoPro. The floaty has a stick back that you have to install. My only concern is that the sticky part will break down over time and the floaty will separate from the case. But so far, it seems solid!

This Floaty Backdoor is great. I've successfully used it on multiple occasions in the Pacific Ocean, and although the current *can* be an issue, it's generally fine if you're floating along with it. I've gotten some amazing underwater footage, and not had to worry at all about potentially losing my $300 GoPro Hero3+. For just a few dollars, I've bought myself a whole lot of peace of mind. I'd recommend this to anyone that goes in the water--I'm sure it would perform even better in a pool! This also comes with a dedicated waterproof backdoor (so you don't have to put it on the one that came with your camera), and was very easy to install. The adhesive, to me, seems extremely secure. Great product!

Amazon had the absolute best price on this product. I did my homework. This was an absolute life saver on a recent vacation. We even played catch with the go pro with this floaty attached in the water and never lost the camera (including the sea). I will say that if you have a selfie stick attached, it floats less and slowly, very slowly will sink. I must say though because of the color, you can find this thing at the bottom of the ocean if it ever did sink in. So, the color is a plus. I love the floaty also because it gives it somewhat of a better grip if you have just the camera and the floaty attached. It is very lightweight and easy to put on. Pretty much never even thought of coming apart from the waterproof case door once it was on, not even in the hands of my 6 year old. Pretty cool accessory and again AMAZON HAD THE ABSOLUTE BEST PRICE FOR THE ORIGINAL FLOATY.

this thing saved my Gopro from certain peril.... One a sunny August day off of the coast of Popoyo beach in Nicaragua at a reef break that was firing solid 6-8 ft lefts, I paddled out with my GoPro mounted and ready to take some quality footage. I had just put this floaty backdoor piece on the camera as an extra precaution in case something crazy happened to unmount my camera from my board. I had previously been surfing for over a year with just the camera and waterhousing itself mounted to the board. As I pulled into a heaving left barrel, the thundering lip of the water came blasting down upon me as I drew my line slightly off from where I should of been. When I came up after around 10 seconds of an underwater thrashing, to my dismay the GoPro was nowhere in sight, as Poseidon did his best to bring my $300 camera to the depths of the pacific. I looked around myself in the water frantically searching to no avail... 30 minutes later as I strolled the beach, there was my GoPro safe and sound floating in the nearby rivermouth while the tide came in. The undersea gods and devils are no match for the soft rubbery orange goodness that this floaty back door imparts. On a separate note, it works great to bite if you want to hold the GoPro in your mouth while doing watersports to get the perspective you want. Buy it, you won't regret it!

it's original and does float. comes with a couple backdoors, not sure why, but i'll take it. BUT, minus stars for the sheer frustration at how time consuming it was to finally get the sticky part unpeeled, they cut the sticker and protective layer exactly to the edge and i almost had to rip a bit to get it separated. i did it on the beach hoping it would be quicker, so do it at home. BUT, the sticky part is extremely sticky, so that's great, however, make sure you put it on straight, squared off and where you want it. once it's on, its even harder to take it off.

The floaty is a very useful accesory when I use the GoPro with a Light pole. It floats perfectly and the bright orange color helps spot it in a second.

I bought this when I went cave diving and it worked perfectly. The giant floaty is easy to spot when it floats in the ocean, a creek, or a cave and it holds the weight of the GoPro very well. It comes with a double sided sticky adhesive and a spare back case door, so that you can take the door off when you aren't planning to use the GoPro in the water. There are two spare case doors included, one large and one small depending on which size GoPro and GoPro case you have.

Good product. Every thing was in the box as described. I shopped around quite a bit before purchasing and found that this product is the best bang for your buck. Has everything you'll need to get the full experience and enjoy using your gopro. The head strap and chest mount work very well. There are quite a few extra mounts like j hooks and clips that could be left out but they will be useful at some point. Only complaint is that the case could be a bit bigger. When everything is in the case it's hard to keep everything in place. Overall excellent product for the price.
