Insta360 has a floating handle in its programme to enable action cams to be guided cleanly in the water and secured against loss.

Action cams like the Insta360, GoPro Hero or others are also extremely popular with water sports enthusiasts. As the camera models are waterproof, the action can be captured up close. However, it can be difficult to carry the cams cleanly while standing or swimming in the water. This is exactly what the Hand Grip from Insta360 significantly easier. The handle is simply screwed into the bottom of the camera. Because it is hollow on the inside, dropping the cam in the water won't be a problem, as the Hand Grip gives standard cam models enough buoyancy to stay on the surface.

The handle also has a small safety loop that can be placed around the wrist. The waterproof cavity can also be used as storage space. Anyone stowing small items here should just check before the first use whether the buoyancy is still guaranteed with additional weight.

The Insta360 Hand Grip is available from as little as nine euros, e.g. from Amazon.
