Will it float with the camera if the camera doesn't have a floatie?

No it will not. As a matter of fact, the hollowed pole will fill with water, causing it to sink. Just tighten the strap to your wrist and you'll be fine, unless you really need it to float, if thats the case then you might want to consider something else .

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.

One of these will float a FujiFilm FinePix XP200 which weighs about 8.3 Oz (235 grams). I'll let you do the math...

I used it with my Nikon which is similar in weight comparing to other waterproof cameras it perfectly floatted very strong support and cushion. You should not have a problem.

Yes it will float its plastic tubing, you would have to weigh it down with something.

Yes. The monopod will stand upright by itself with a camera on top however; I would not leave the monopod unattended. It does not take much at all to send it tumbling over so heads up. I hope this helps. Tony

Even with a Nikon coolpix it does not completely keep it afloat, it does slow it way down.

If the camera is light, it will balance, but it is not made for that. I would not suggest it for use as a tripod It is meant as a monopod, but the feet do help keep it steady

We looped the existing strap through the floating wrist band, that way when you are not using it under water it is easy to unloop it from the floating band and just use it's regular strap. We bought the CHUMS bright yellow band and tested it and the camera did float easily.

It will not float. you can attach your dog to the unit but if it's a big dog the dog will pull it around.

Yes it can float. In addition, there is space in the nose for some lead weight if you would prefer it to be neutrally buoyant (neither floating nor sinking) as we need for scuba diving.

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.

It should, the pole alone will float, but not with the regular case attached. The camera will float with the floaty back, so the combo unit should float fine.

It does not float by itself. It needs to be attached to something, like the wrist strap, that is buoyant enough to float it, or at least make it easy to snag or hook from a distance, or below the surface.

No, it mounts just like all the other go pro mounts. By the way it works very well not only as a float, but also as a stabilizer.

Yes it will. The kit comes with two straps, each of the straps will support 7oz. per strap. So technically speaking using both straps attached to your camera you could float the camera plus and additional 6.30 oz.

I don't know if it floats. It was too small for what I needed, so I packed it away and don't know where. Sorry.

It will be no problem - it will attach to the cameraI've found it to work very well.It will require a stable tripod.
