While jetksiing today my boy dropped my new gopro +LCD into the water and we couldn't save it ...

Now for gopro #2 I want to attach a float to it so if we loose it it won't sink we can just grab it.

Only thing im finding are floating trap doors? any other kinds that attach with a tether or something ?

thanks.

Cut a section of foam pool noodle to tape to it, tie it to an empty water bottle, or just tie it off to the jetski

I made my own floating handle with pvc, spray foam inside, glued a couple end caps on, and used a handle bar mount for the camera. Slid a bike grip on and it looks legit.

Not sure if the GeekPro accessories work. Check Amazon they have an attacment package. Attached is the float for a Geek Pro

Go Pro does sell a Float backing, its massive though, I'm sure theres a few other alternatives that you can home brew easily.

I ordered 2 tether wrist strap floaties that hold 7oz each so I will attach 2

I use the suction cup mount and stainless steel tether the whole mount my hood pin, then close my ski hood.

thought about that as well but the floaties are working for me now.
