Hello! Can you tell me if this float can support the weight of an iPhone 5s? I have a LifeProof case and would tether this float to the case. Thx!

Yes easily, the camera MUCH heavier than my iPhone 5s. Be sure that case is waterproof!

Sorry I hope not to late to answer your question, my camera XP60 is about 6 oz.,so please caculate your phone + case weight.

I'm sure it could. I'm using it on my Canon D20, which is probably heavier.

Yep, I totally use this with my iPhone 5s and Lifeproof case every time I go out paddle boarding and it floats just fine! I only wish I would have had one attached to my sunglasses :(

An iPhone 5s is listed as being 112g. I have tested this with a GoPro Hero 3+ that (with housing) is listed as 136g and it worked great. So you should be good to go. Whatever case your using to strap this thing on to your iPhone might add a little weight, but probably not enough to cause this float to fail. With the GoPro, it even bobbed out of the water about half way.

Hi! I don't know how much an iphone5 weighs with a case - BUT, it supports my Canon PowerShot D20 (Product Dimensions: 4.4 x 1.1 x 2.8 inches ; 8 ounces) perfectly...if that helps.

Yes it should do the job very well. Just make sure to test your life proof case and make sure it's waterproof. Try submerging it for a few minutes with just a piece of tissue in it then dry off the case and check the tissue

Grip is fine. I haven't tried picking up any small smooth objects like an iphone, but then who would under water. I can grip the equipment without any issues. And things like shells are easy to pick up. I think they should be durable since they are thick. So issues so far.

yes, this speaker floats.but don´t put in the water. It´s not that kind of water-resistant.I trie to do this and the speaker broke down.Only use in Bathrooms and such.

Yes! I personally own a few of these and they float about mid way, not completely on the surface but still float. Using an iPhone

I'm not sure about the weight of that model. I gather that just one of these floats could have held up 2 GoPro Hero3s. Since they send you two of them, maybe you could attach them both if the Nikon is a heavier model. They really don't seem to get in the way of shooting. I'm using them all the time around water now. I never realized just how fast a cam will sink if dropped.

HelloWell, my husband and I both squeezed onto the float together for a picture. We were a bit wide for the float, but it worked. And it held our combined 420 lbs. with no problem. Very seaworthy. Just an FYI:when on the float, you sit very much above the water. No part of me gets wet unless I splash myself or get splashed. I'm 5'9" and it's plenty long. Hope this helps.

As far as I know if your are submerged in the water, the inflated life vest should support you. I disconnected the automatic inflation feature and depend upon the manual lanyard to inflate it. I use this in my airplane, and in the event of a water landing, don't want it to inflate until we are clear of the cockpit.

O K Allen, I double checked this item over the weekend. The stobe is LED and bright enough depending on batteries. I was under the impression from previous question that this unit floats. It does NOT float. It does however self activate when placed in water. Not instantly, but within 30-45 seconds and slight movement. The real deal for safty is that this item needs to be attached to your PFD. The strap provided is enough for attachment.

It "should". The 5s cable sticks up through the bottom pretty high and can be fed higher. You provide your own cable, it doesn't come with one. The only issue may be the lifeproof's flap that covers the cable hole may cause it to want to ride up and out of the holder. For what its worth, I love this little dock, I have one at work, one on my nightstand and another on my desk at home.

Hello. I am assuming if you can put in the back cover with the floaty so that the whole case floats on the water? Yes it does!

I haven't tried with an iPhone, but I suspect it will work fine as long as the holder attahcment works (I don't have one.) My son told me he has the exact same tripod, and he uses it with his SLR, so I guess my original comment about the weight might not be accurate. I recently used it on a trip holding my camera to a hand railing, and it worked fabulously.

It does not float, my phone went straight to the bottom of the river, luckily it was only 8 feet deep. I suppose it's possible to make it float by stuffing foams inside, but with limited space, you might not be able to fit much. 4.7" Screen HTC One actually filled up the entire bag, leaving no room for anything else.

I really don't know but it does look like it would support people out of water. don't know what weight would be acceptable. if its tugged on or pulled across concrete, It has been know to spring leaks.

I have used this on about 30 dives and never noticed that it floated. I've never dropped it in the water to see if it floated, its always been attached to my wrist, but in my experience I would say no

I've had mine for about 6 months and it works great. I don't think it could float around because it is too heavy.

I'm not sure if the phone floats I have the AIMO Rugged Armor case on my phone. When it was dropped in the turtle tank it floated. So I do not know if it was because the case or not. I recommend this case because it makes it easier to hold the phone and it gives great protection when the phones gets dropped

Hey. So my sister and I have done tandem on this board. Together we weighed about 330 and it was hard to use the board(the balancing part was super hard). The board sunk deep in he water but it did not flow over the top of the board. I suggest getting a taller board closer to 12 feet that can handle more weight.
