does this product float? If I had to swim with it across a small creek about 20 feet will it keep electronics/ cameras completely dry?

The short answer to that question is: yes. This box is water tight and thus has a compartment full of air. You should be fine.

i think it would keep them dry. but i don't know about floating. even keeping them dry would be pushing it the limit of what is is capable of. you could probably put styrofoam in it. that would help keep it afloat. i would test it without the electronics first. buy it, put it in the bathtub, and see if it floats. if not, send it back. i will tell you this. i did alot of research. and this is best box i could find.

Yes it will! It's air tight. So it traps air in it that's what make it float. Also if I remember right it's submersible for 30 minutes

It doesn't say anything in the description about being waterproof or water repellant. It may keep items dry in a small amount of rain...but like others have said....Cover it with a trash bag or some sort of rain gear! After all, you spent allot of money on camera equipment, why take chances on it getting damaged from water!

I took mine on a float trip in the river. Took pictures and even some underwater video with it.

I would say as long as the bottom lid is closed tight it should float back up regardless of depth, also keep in mind the depth rating of the gopro water proof case (100+ feet).

Hi Andrew, You can safely submerge and use your phone up to 100 feet. Taking pictures is still possible while submerged as long as you can still see the capture button on your screen. Hope that helps. Kind Regards, Angie/ECO-FUSED

Yes, according to specifications...Sony is very good when it comes to water proof products...It has all the connectors cover with flaps to prevent water damage...I have never tried to submerge it in water but I am pretty sure it will survive...read some of the reviews out there.

Absolutely not. I would trust $5k of camera equipment in it on the back of my motorcycle in a downpour for hours though. It is a rolldown bag. Gravity will keep water out - submersion will not. You need a Pelican case for that application.

Probably. It won't float, but there's nothing that I can see with it that would be a problem if it got wet or submerged.

Hmmm... mine doesn't extend, so there's no moving parts to leak. I've taken it scuba diving several times and never had a problem with leaks anywhere. The best part of it is that it floats. If the cord accidentally slips from my wrist, it will float up to the surface. I use a cable tether for the GoPro just to be sure it stays attached. It's never detached, but I want to be sure!

I haven't submerged it in water, but I have spilt liquid on the device, no problems. It has sat in a puddle of soda for a good while and no problems. I hope this helps with your decision of your purchase. I think it's s great device, its held up to its 3.0 connection, no crashes, stalls or any issues. I use it quite a bit for documentation, music and movies.

Absolutely!!! I have this exact model of camera and float. The float wii actually bring the camera to the surface when under water!

No. Air is trapped in the protector and the change in temperature will cause it to sweat. It will more than likely float. When forced under water it will more than likely leak

Yes. I snorkeled with it and everything stayed dry. I did get a smaller (3 pack) of tiny dry bags to go inside that held my iPhone & camera but it wasn't needed. All my clothes and towel stayed dry the entire trip.

The case would be waterproof against a splash of water or rain when closed but it's not sealed so cannot submerge. Great ultra light case for when you just want the camera and don't want to carry case around.

This is a floating device! I would get the life proof case that is what we have and it works well in the pool

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.

From the look of the camera body, I thought it would withstand blowing rain OK. I was wrong. Mine is really not splashproof. Condensation would form on the inside of the plastic bubble after a good rain. I had to mount it under the eave. I will try it there and see. I do like the camera.
