Price Range: Under $20

This simple, brightly colored floating handle is an inexpensive accessory designed specifically to mount to the housing of action cameras like GoPros or DJIs. It is completely sealed and highly buoyant, physically preventing the heavy camera body from sinking if accidentally dropped into the water.

Why it's Onboard

As YouTubers we’re constantly filming our day around the boat and taking our cameras through near-absurd water environments (like up waterfalls). Dropping an expensive action camera into deep water can be a pain,  so this ridiculously cheap handle keeps the camera floating on the surface where I can easily recover it.

• Compatible with DJI Osmo, GoPro, and Insta360 with mount adaptor

• Surface level water activities

Real-world Verdict

For the incredibly low price, this is a frankly non-negotiable accessory worth having around if you intend to film near the water. Mine is over ten years old now, and I honestly won't be surprised if we easily get another ten out of it.
