Floating Selfie Stick for GoPro Hero 13 12 11 10 9 8 Mini Max Fusion Session, DJI OSMO Action 6 5 Pro 4, AKASO Brave EK7000
Quick take
This floating selfie stick is built for action cameras and designed to keep your camera afloat during water activities. It extends from about 9 to 27 inches and can open into a small tripod for steadier land or table shots. The biggest buying caveat is build quality and locking behavior, since some users report durability issues over time.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Floating design adds peace of mind for snorkeling, swimming, and beach use.
- 4-in-1 concept (hand grip, selfie stick/monopod, and small tripod stand) for flexible shooting angles.
- Adjustable 9 to 27 inch extension, with aluminum arms intended to lock at set lengths.
- Non-slip, embossed handle surface plus an adjustable wrist strap to help prevent loss.
Cons
- Some buyers describe stiffness or issues with the lock mode, and a small number report the pole snapping after a few months.
- It may not be usable in every underwater housing setup, depending on the camera case shape and fit.
- Maximum supported camera load is limited (listed up to 7.05 ounces), so heavier camera setups may be a concern.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence centers on water-use convenience and basic versatility. Multiple shoppers highlight that it floats well enough to reduce the fear of losing an action camera during snorkeling and similar outings. Users also tend to mention that the handle feels secure when wet and that the standard mounting hardware works with their action-camera models.
Build and reliability feedback is mixed. While many reviews describe the accessory as sturdy for the price and easy to set up, a limited set of reports mention the extension/locking mechanism becoming difficult to move and, in one case, the product failing after months of use. There is also limited but relevant feedback that certain dive cases may prevent using the device as intended underwater.
How it works, and what it’s for
This is a compact, float-oriented pole for action cameras. In hand, it functions as a selfie stick or monopod, with a non-slip grip and a wrist strap attachment for control. When you open the legs, it becomes a short tripod stand for steadier angles on land, near shore, or on a boat deck.
The extension range is adjustable from 9 to 27 inches, and the arms are intended to lock at intermediate lengths, helping you frame group shots or reduce camera shake compared to a fully outstretched hand-held position.
Compatibility and mounting
The included 1/4-inch screw adapter and thumb screw are key for fit. The product is marketed for GoPro Hero models (including Hero 13/12/11/10 and older numbers in the lineup), as well as DJI Osmo Action 6/5 and several AKASO cameras, with additional compatibility claims for other action cameras that use the appropriate mounting.
One practical point from buyer comments: underwater housing can change how the device performs. If your camera is in a bulky dive case, the float and leg-opening behavior may be different than it is with the camera mounted directly.
Key specs that matter in real use
- Floating action: Designed to keep the camera afloat on water.
- Extension: Adjustable 9 to 27 inches.
- Weight: Listed at 140 grams, meant to stay travel-friendly.
- Max load: Up to 7.05 ounces (important for heavier camera accessories).
- Mounting: 1/4-inch screw adapter and thumb screw included, plus a wrist strap.
- Water resistance: Labeled as water resistant.
Pros and cons, summarized
Who it’s best for
- Action-camera shooters who want one pole that can switch between selfie stick, hand grip, and a compact stand.
- Snorkelers and beach users who value floating as a safety net against losing gear.
- Travel vloggers who want a lightweight setup that helps capture steadier compositions without bringing a larger tripod.
Who should skip it
- Buyers with heavier camera rigs or lots of attached accessories, since the listed maximum weight capacity is relatively low.
- Anyone relying on a specific dive case where fit and float behavior may not line up with the device’s intended underwater use.
- Users who expect premium locking hardware and lifelong durability, given that some reports mention lock resistance and at least one snapping failure.
Price and availability
The product is listed as an affordable option in the monopod category, and it’s positioned as a budget-friendly accessory for water outings. If you’re comparing across budget floating monopods, focus on camera-case fit, extension range, and your tolerance for basic locking hardware rather than expecting “tripod-grade” sturdiness.
Alternatives to consider (by shopping criteria)
- If underwater housing compatibility is your priority: look for floating poles specifically documented as working with your camera’s dive case, since housing can affect buoyancy and leg operation.
- If you want maximum stand stability: consider a dedicated action-camera tripod or a more rigid compact tripod, since a short floating stand can be less stable than a full-size mount.
- If you mainly need longer reach for group shots: compare extension range and lock quality on other monopods, focusing on how smoothly they open and close.
Verdict
The Floating Selfie Stick for GoPro-style action cameras is a strong value pick for people who film in or near the water and want floating peace of mind plus a quick conversion into a small tripod. It’s most compelling for lightweight cameras within the listed capacity and for setups that mount directly. If you’re concerned about long-term durability of the locking mechanism or you use a bulky dive housing, you may want to look at alternatives or confirm case compatibility before committing.
FAQs
