Excellent Single Trouble Grip

I bought my first GoPro camera and wanted to use a grip with it. At first I thought about buying a GoPro brand but I read a lot of reviews about it being plastic and the camera breaking and it made me paranoid. I decided to look for something stronger and after a long search I found this one. I've seen many mentions of the bracelet unscrewing but I haven't had this problem with mine, I may have tightened it throughout the day but it never felt loose. EDIT: It's getting weaker, So keep it tight throughout the day or use some crazy glue to keep it from coming loose. It was easy and it was nice as I don't want to add weight to my backpack. I can't tell how he swims. I haven't tried it in the water. The only complaint I had was that my GoPro picked up the sound the grip was making. This was recognized too late and some videos were ruined as the audio is louder than anything else. To solve this I added a lego tape which fixed it. I've seen other solutions here too. I like the grip in general. It's lightweight, durable and inexpensive. Just make sure to fix your sound recording problem. I can't tell how he swims. I haven't tried it in the water.
