This will keep your camera from drowning if you happen to not connect the wrist strap, as my wife did. It will bob around with an orange plug at the bottom to allow you to find it if you happened to drop it off of a boat.
This will not however, keep your camera upright while floating. The way the camera mounts, the weight immediately inverts the video if you're filming.
While floating in the waters of Mahogany Bay, Roatan, I didn't lose my GoPro and my wife didn't lose her cool when it slipped out of her hand.
I would recommend this to a friend!

There are 1000 different products offering the "same" result for a fraction of the cost. However, understand that manufacture backed items are usually put through more tests and trials than that plastic un-tested deal.
This pole exceeded all of my expectations. I had read reviews on the cheaper poles only to find out some had thethem bend, crimp, break, or ultimately lose their GoPro in the worst case scenarios.
This pole has 3 different levels of extension, which gives you the comfort of being able to reach over the largest of crowds or even give you that little bit more reach standing on top of a tall structure.
I subjected this pole to minimal water, which was merely splashback from a boat ride we took in Belize. I felt comfortable enough with the design, that I placed the camera close to the water to get a unique view of our ride.
Get this pole vs another cheaper made pole if you plan on using it for extreme situations or frequent uses. I watched a similar looking pole come apart of a guy on a beach in Cozumel rendering the pole useless once it got sand in it.

GET. THIS. CARD.
Ask yourself, what are the chances of you taking 16,000 photos? What are the chances you'll need to record 8 hours of video? Your answer? Probably NEVER, but, you'll be ready if you do!
The speed, the quality, the ease of use, is absolutely splendid!
I utilized this card in my GoPro Hero 4, I used it on a cruise my family took. I snapped roughly 3,000 photos and took about 3 hours of video, total; not all at once.
I downloaded photos to share with family and friends, but decided to leave them on there for ease of access later. Fast forward to my next cruise, 5 months later, I never took the photos off of the card from the previous cruise and just rolled with it.
This card took new photos and video like a champ, still with room to spare! I bought a 200GB with my initial purchase of this 128GB, not sure what I would need. This card surpassed the 200GB, being that it is rated for all things GoPro, Hero 4 and 5 (My brother had the Hero 5).
I now have this card sitting in my Gear 360, taking the Photos and Videos from it.
Excellent card, especially if you catch it on sale!

After reading a few reviews, I was skeptical to say the least. However, I decided to check out the product in-store, and boy am I glad I did!
I bought this backpack for a trip I was going on. I did a cruise from New Orleans to Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel Mexico.
We flew to New Orleans and had no issues with TSA or being able to carry it on a plane. The number of hidden gems on this pack make it a breeze to carry wherever you are.
Understand, this pack is designed to hold the Karma Drone. If you aren't planning on carrying a drone, then you can comfortably carry multiple GoPro cameras, batteries, accessories (GoPole, Floatie, wrist strap, etc.). I also carried my Canon Rebel DSLR (broken down of course) with the standard and zoom lenses, filters, and fisheye lens in tow. As well as an iPad, which I placed in the hidden "camel pack holder" (*DISCLAIMER* CAMEL PACK NOT INCLUDED) just beneath the shoulder straps which slides the entire depth of the bag, just behind the back.
I utilized every square inch of this backpack to load up my wallet, passport, and random souviners we picked up while in the different countries. After wearing this all day, you don't feel tired or worn out because the pack is light and limits how much you can put in it, to not overload yourself. I was able to climb the tallest Mayan Ruin in Belize without having to remove the pack.
There is a clip on the shoulder strap which allows you to mount the camera for a side POV. There is also a chest strap that is only for the backpack, I utilized this once, but found the chesty more practical since the bag chesty prevents you from removing the lack without disassembling the pack chesty (just quick slide clips on the shoulder straps)
I got a ton of compliments on the pack and even a few people wished they would have bought one, but didn't based on a few negative reviews.
If you're wondering whether or not to get it, just do it. You'll be glad you did. It beats lugging around an old school backpack that just throws everything into a pile at the bottom of the bag or that "free" single strap DSLR bag that you probably got as a bundled package.
I would recommend this to a friend!
