An action camera without a floating handle is a camera you will eventually watch sink.<\/p>\n

Boards are wet, hands are cold, and the moment worth filming is usually the moment you are least in control of what you are holding.<\/p>\n

A floaty grip fixes two problems at once. It keeps the camera on the surface if you drop it, and it gives you something to hold that is not the slippery little body of the camera itself, which is what makes the footage watchable.<\/p>\n

We compared ten floating hand grips for paddle boarding, from the official GoPro Handler to seven dollar bobbers, and sorted them by what they are actually good at.<\/p>\n
