Does this float? I want to use it on a boat and probably at some point it would get dropped in the water

I believe it will sink, even if it doesn't sink, I don't think this is the one you want to buy for water use....

I don't know if it will float, I've just used it for bird watching. But if you look at the ad for it on Amazon it says (at the end of bullet point two) "not recommended for submersion or scuba diving". To be "waterproof" it should be fairly watertight...you would think, but then they don't recommend submersing it in water. I think if it does float to some degree it may be OK given that its "once in a while". To be "idiot proof", I would just secure it to a lanyard and keep it around my neck. It's your call.

I am not sure if it floats, but it is threaded for standard camera mounts, and this Olympus Float Strap is pretty solid http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014E02AO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I really like this monocular and I have bought 2 of them. I have used them both during a light rain and water did get in them. They are not water proof. Do not use them in places that they can get wet. Aside from the lack of waterproof I like the scope.

Never put it in the water - but it's pretty heavy...It probably won't float - but I'm not positive.

no it cant float, like it is writen on the box. You have some other boats that float i think it is from lego city collection.

If you attach a short rope between the handle and your neck before you throw it in, sure it will float. There is no generator on this unit so feel free to tie your dog to another generator before you thow this unit in the lake.

No it doesn't float. It just makes noises as if it were actually hovering. It's not really meant to be stood on either. Just more of a collectors piece.

That I don't know. I have used it sitting in the boat in water and it was fine, but it was not totally submerged.

It does float - but it's not really designed to be a water toy. My grandson has his displayed along with his other Lego kits on shelves in his bedroom.

It does not float. However it is not super heavy so it stays mid depth well.

I own two of these, and I used them when I was around the 350 mark. They will float with that much weight but obviously they sit lower in the water. Hope that helps

It is heavy enough not to float. It just sits over the side. It suited our purpose very well.

It's possible to make it float but you would have to ballast it as you build it. Without the ballast it's very top heavy and will capsize.

yes it does pretty well. we use it on our boat and have never had a problem

it floats if dropped unless it is not propely closed in wich case it sinks by the water inside the battery compartment. As an hydrodynamic device it works a lot better underwater so in a swin area will work fine if the lake is quiet with not noticeable stream. Believe me, at half sinking works poorly but when you pun under water level it is really nice.

Yes! Not sure how long it will float tho. Bought it for my dad for when he goes paddle boarding. He has dropped in the lake twice, and immediately jumped in to get it. Both times it popped to the surface. He has been using it for a year and loves it!

I've never tried using it in a pool, but I think it's made out of hollow molded plastic, so I think it would float and not sink.
