Flotation Camera Strap
Excellent Camera Maneuverability – The Polaroid Flotation strap is designed for underwater cameras, camcorders and housings. Its pads provide little resistance while using your camera underwater. Its low buoyancy means you won’t have to fight the upward force of the flotation pads while shooting under water.

Polaroid Floating Wrist Strap – Not for heavier cameras,
The product would be great, except that it will not float the Olympus Tough 8010, which weighs 7.6oz (215g) without batteries and media card. So if your camera is anywhere near this in weight, do not buy this product. I ended up using the strap but also tying a water wing to the camera to make sure it floated. We were going tubing in a very murky river and wanted to take no chances that the camera would sink at all below the surface because it would have disappeared in two seconds. Otherwise, the strap seems to be good quality and I got the orange one, which is bright and easy to see.

|A bit larger than expected,
Expensive camera slipped off my wrist. I had to sew part of the item so it would not do that. I am female and my hand size is large, so it should not have slipped off so easily. We tested the size before we went on vacation. The sewing is easy if you have a machine, fabric is a bit tough so take care the needle does not break.

|Good for small cameras – fits a bit loose,
I bought this for my new Panasonic Lumix camera. It serves it’s purpose as a float for your underwater digital camera, but I found the strap didn’t tighten as much as I would have liked. It was a bit too big. I did find that it would fit snugly around my upper arm when getting in and out of the surf, but I would have preferred if it would have fit snugly to my wrist.
