does this hand grip float with the gopro backdoor-float?

This Hand grip does not float at all. So you would be luck if the backdoor float would float both camera and the grip. The wrist tether is a necessity, because as soon as you let of the camera, with the Granade grip attached, your rig will be headed to the bottom. Save your self the grief and disappointment and buy the Go Pro handle float.

YES, I just purchased and tested this with the GoPro Hero 3+ Dive Housing Model: AHDEH-301... Mind you this is the dive specific housing and not the housing that comes with the 3+

The gopro camera comes with quick connect mounts that slide into place and lock. I have older mounts and they didn't work without some modification to the chest strap. The newer hero 3 mounts should work without modifying the chest strap mount.

My son has a gopro hero 3. It does come with more than one "back door" (to fit different cameras) but I couldn't tell you if one of them is for the HD Hero 2. The floaty itself it just a serperate piece of some type of floaty foam, and you use the sticky pads to attach it to a back door. So if you have more than one, or can leave it on your waterproof back door that you have, it would work either way. Once you stick it, it can't come off, unless you have several water proof tapes to use.

I had it in the water all of last week and i found out a few things. It will float without a floatie back-door untill you dive below about 10 feet. At that point it's seals give and it takes on some water. That being said, I still really liked this pole. I opted to not use the floatie and instead put one of the tethers on the back door, then looped the tether around the head of the GoScope before attaching the GoPro. I flipped the camera orientation upside-down and put it on the bottom side of the pole and got great results. Very steady video. The wrist strap on the GoScope made me feel secure that I would not lose it. I had it in the water all of last week and i found out a few things.

No, this handle best fits low to mid height DSLRs. The GoPro Would be a little too small.

yes, i just used the gooseneck on a lake and the floaty back door kept everything afloat with no problem.

no, I have the head strap and you can't put anything on the back of the gopro without it getting in the way. however, you could attach it on the side with the strap and have the floaty attached to the strap.

I use it on my headstrap when wakeboarding. It looks silly as can be, but I have the camera well above my head so the backdoor can fit. I do this by using several different extensions. Here is a picture of how it is set up; http://i.imgur.com/VWH6FM5.jpg And a video of the headstrap with floaty in action; https://youtu.be/-TQ0snQ6iXA

My GoPro had a float and I posted up a video to show exactly how it fit: http://www.amazon.com/review/RSVNN7I1L60P/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Maybe, I'm using the round floaties you buy at Walmart on my landing gear so I can land on water and protect my go-pro. Sometimes you see a part of it but, I really like it!

Yes, it will float but I suggest you get some bright water proof tape to wrap around the handle because when it is the water it will be partially submerged and hard to see. I highly recommend this sup. I have enjoyed it so much this past summer have not been disappointed, a great board.....

No. Headstrap is heavy elastic band with heavy plastic buckles and camera mount. The strap will definitely not float with the camera attached. The foam float for the camera would be required to float the camera and the strap/

yes, the float comes with a back door cover for the Hero 2 water proof case. the door does not fit on the Hero 3. But the float attaches with a strong adhesive and floats well if you do not have a heavy handle attached.

Actually I just tested this and if you use the Floaty Backdoor by GoPro, this pole will float.

No. The grip is meant for preventing minor damage from dings and dents. It will not help protect the camera from water.

If you can fit it physically onto your board i dont see why not, its a pretty strong grip, so much that i even used it on my ATV using the inner strap to strap/clamp it to my handlebars pretty tight, i dont see why i wont use it on my jetski when it comes time, but be aware if it does come off the gopro floaty barely keeps the gopro alone afloat, let alone the gopro AND any mounts attached...
