Floating Strap
Once I had the silicone skin and the floating strap....makes for an excellent bit of kit, but the strap does not float for long (perhaps 10-20 minutes, after which time it starts to slowly sink, you need to squeeze out the water and allow air back into the item. It's enough time if you dropped it, etc, but I was hoping it would be a bit better with it's bouyancy!
great product
This camera strap kept my camera floating with no problem. The only drawback I could see is the strap doesn't tighten enough to fit a smaller wrist.
Will not float an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW!
Simply put, this strap is not buoyant enough to even remotely float the Olympus 1030 SW. I went on a camping trip and the camera got accidentally dropped while kayaking a calm, flat-water river. It sank to the bottom instantly. The strap failed 100%. It didn't even slow the descent. I had the orange strap and it was bright enough for me to see it sink straight down. I thought "not a big deal". At least the camera is waterproof and I can see it. By the time I got out of my kayak it was gone. It must have been just buoyant enough to keep it off the bottom of the river and the little bit of current there was took it. We had almost 20 people spend nearly an hour scouring the river (as most of it 5 feet deep or less), but it was gone. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with the performance of this product. Advertising it as a "Floating Camera Strap" is VERY misleading since it doesn't really float. The only legitimate use I can think of for this strap would be for snorkeling to help keep it cinched around your wrist. Otherwise, save your money on this product.
