The GoPro's backside has excellent adhesive properties. But first, I used isopropyl alcohol to clean both surfaces and let them dry completely. The floaty's backside has terrible adhesive properties. I applied it with force, and it wouldn't even support the GoPro unit while holding the floaty after 20 seconds. It worked fine after I roughed up the surface of the floaty with sandpaper and then prepped it again with alcohol; I'll have to wait and see how it adheres over the next few days. I'm putting it to use on a knock-off. off "GoPro," but I'd never trust it with anything more expensive than $50.
I attached this to the back of my gopro case, which I attached to my surfboard, and when I first took it out, I noticed the floaty had vanished. Not only did I waste my money on this item, but the floaty is now lost in the ocean, and I have no idea where it is. A stronger adhesive is required.
I attached it to my GoPro, but it didn't seem to float because it wasn't quite floaty enough. When I tried to test it, it literally sank in my sink. Do not buy a GoPro for any size.
The adhesive patch was applied to this part in this manner, and the item was promptly returned. The float is of acceptable quality, but it appears to have been put together while blindfolded.
I'm not sure how to put it on my GoPro or any of its accessories in a way that will stick. Because of how bad this product is, I can see myself losing my GoPro while swimming in a lake.
The first attempt by GoPro was a flop! It sank like a rock when I put it on my GoPro Hero 8. I'm glad I gave it a shot in the shallows. Don't put your faith in this nonsense.
The floaties are slightly smaller than previous generations, but they are still simple to install and use.
These are fantastic for floating your action camera and phone.
