The grip is very high quality - I just love it...

This is a very high quality product. The grip is very thoughtfully designed and serves as a multi-purpose grip that few floating grips offer. I have had 2 different floating handlebars in the last 3 years. Both grips served the same function of keeping my camera afloat, they were good for that purpose but I couldn't dive deep as the float rose to the water surface. This was very annoying on my last vacation because I've been diving quite a bit and couldn't get my camera deep in the water. This pose is ideal for shooting above and below water. The orange cup at the bottom of the handle has 2 washers, making the inner chamber of the handle fully sealed and of course watertight. This way, when the inner chamber is empty, the grip fills with air and floats instead of sinking, keeping your camera on the water's surface. But if you want to dive deeper into the water, unscrew the orange cap and fill the handle with water (maybe half). Now when you dive deep into the water, the handle will float with you without being pushed to the surface. Water perfect for scuba diving, snorkeling and other underwater photography that you can't do with other floating grips. The handle is quite strong and sturdy, the nut is attached to the bracket which is great as my previous handle had the nut loosen from the handle and they are quite small and easy to lose. I lost mine in the sand at the beach, I couldn't attach the camera anymore so the grip became unusable. The ProFloat's nut is integrated into the handle and will not come loose, which is a great design feature. All in all this is a great product, very premium optics and fantastic design. I can recommend it to all action cam owners.
