Works but beware of watersports

Good price. I think a couple of times I've had to use it, it connected well. I used a couple of sessions with my 8ft fish because it was difficult to reach the nose to start the video clip in time for the wave. I read that the weak velcro is not reliable. Included was another bracelet with a friction clip. My first session was great, it lasted and worked fantastic but I was afraid the wave would handle it. In the second session I was concerned again so I came up with some ideas to make it 100% safe. It was even planned to stick some kind of float on it as a reserve. Looked down and he wasn't there. No wave, just paddling and I didn't realize it. 3 stars because it amazes me that the extra 10 cents didn't go into making a strap using something as simple as an old Shark watch strap clip. Or as simple as a small swim strip attached to the side. It's about as smart as the Marines you buy when they decide to save 10 cents on a stainless steel screw that's critical to the job. The bottom wasn't even in the water. This would happen if you try to use it on a motorcycle, bike or, frankly, any application. Note. Revain has updated GoPro remotes with a full display for the same price. I just ordered and will make my own seat belt.
