Will it work with gopro? I tested it out with the GoPro Hero 3 this past weekend and it did float.

I have no idea how heavy a goPro is so I have no idea. I use this with a Olympus Stylus 1030SW that I just weighed at 6.75 ounces. I have used it in pools, rivers, lakes and oceans without issue since 2009. It's never failed to bob on the surface with the camera suspended below.

I used this float with my gopro as well and it works great. This is a great "fire and forget" type of float as well. I connected the float to the gopro and would dive down to get very specific video and once done, would simply let go of the camera and let it rise to the surface while I stayed below for a little while longer... having then two hands free. Once at the surface it is right there waiting for me.

Works fine if you use the GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter which connect any 3.5mm microphone to your GoPro.Compatibility: HERO3+, HERO3 You can see the adapter on the GoPro site.

My son has a gopro hero 3. It does come with more than one "back door" (to fit different cameras) but I couldn't tell you if one of them is for the HD Hero 2. The floaty itself it just a serperate piece of some type of floaty foam, and you use the sticky pads to attach it to a back door. So if you have more than one, or can leave it on your waterproof back door that you have, it would work either way. Once you stick it, it can't come off, unless you have several water proof tapes to use.

yup. i use the flat adhesive mount ( i just leave it on ) always use floaty back door and tether for safety when using gopro for water sports. enjoy

It works on my GoPro Hero 3 Black. I don't think the main adaptors changed with the new models. Ii is a great sturdy and snow/water-resistantant, but if I recall it did not come with a J-Hook slider which was bit of an annoyance as I only had one at the time.

I have the optrix (cool) , and I have no idea if it works with the gopro. Probably it does not works because are fighting for the same costumers. Have fun.

According to GoPro's website, yes. It shows "Compatibility: All Cameras" on the manufacturer's page for the float.

It will fit on a standard tripod mount. I assume the GoPro has a standard tripod mount as well (most every camera does). Just look on the bottom of the camera. The only concern I'd have is that GoPro does its own thing with mounts and may have left a tripod mount off. However, I would be surprised if that were the case.

A more constructive way of answering this would be to comment on if the Gimbal's mounting system can adjust to accommodate a smaller form factor, for example if the GoPro 4 will be smaller (which it might be by a small amount). So, if anyone uses this 3-axis gimbal, does it adjust for size to the gopro hero and hero+ (also smaller than the regular hero 3) or is it fixed?

Actually I just tested this and if you use the Floaty Backdoor by GoPro, this pole will float.

It works with my gopro hero 3 silver, so I am assuming it will work with all of the gopro models.

I don't know how it could work without padding the back as the hero3 has a different profile depth. Fact is, the gopro 3D just looks bad. It might look at best OK with certain subjects, but I think most users and viewers would be disappointed and not use it much. Obviously it is a longer workflow and may be difficult for many to figure out reliable process from shoot to edit.

It should stay upright. So simple it is hard to troubleshoot by Amazon text. Make sure the mounting fins are lined up correctly. If the GoPro is firm, but it shakes loose by jarring motions there is a small locking doodad piece that you use. It comes with the GoPro. Usually white color with a round ring shape. Google it and you will see. You add this piece to the mounting to lock the GoPro in place. Maybe google GoPro mounting locking piece or something like that and you can see what it looks like. You can see it on YouTube also

I used it with my Nikon which is similar in weight comparing to other waterproof cameras it perfectly floatted very strong support and cushion. You should not have a problem.

This Hand grip does not float at all. So you would be luck if the backdoor float would float both camera and the grip. The wrist tether is a necessity, because as soon as you let of the camera, with the Granade grip attached, your rig will be headed to the bottom. Save your self the grief and disappointment and buy the Go Pro handle float.

I don't know whether it will work with a GoPro Hero 3. It works with a Canon 5D Mark III. I SUSPECT that it will work with any camera that has the correct little stereo socket connector. Bob

I used the camera on a recent dive trip. I had the LCD back so used the GoPro Hero 3 housing (not +) because it could accommodate the LCD back.So yes the camera is good in deep water in the housing. The Hero 3+ housing also works in water (you need to put the correct back on the case in either situation ..3 or 3+)
