Bodhi Floaty GP192c First Impressions

"Five Stars!"

There is no need for me to buy extra batteries. It makes nice, clear videos and works perfectly for my needs. I got this Bodhi Floaty GP192c to record our trip’s adventure. Cheaper than K2, and offered much more features. I took this camera to Greece with me and it was great.

• Bodhi Floaty Case, Orange for GoPro Hero 7, Hero 6, Hero 5 Black and Hero 2018
• NEVER LOSE YOUR MEMORIES OR CAMERA - This ultra-floaty, hard-rubber case will prevent your camera from sinking like a rock. It's bright orange color makes it easy to find on the surface of the water. This will help keep your priceless memories and expensive new GoPro, in your possession, as well as help from ruining your day, vacation or honeymoon.
• VIEWABLE SCREEN - The Bodhi Floaty allows you to see and touch the display in the water. Since you can frame and review your shots, your photos and videos will come out looking amazing!
• MOST VERSITLE FLOATY - Works great with mounts, harnesses, poles and grips. No trade-offs or bad use-cases. Unlike floaty backdoors, it works great with Headstrap and Chesty mounts and does block your LCD. Floating grips and poles leave you unprotected when your camera is mounted on your body, a surfboard, kayak, jet ski, etc. We would never do that to you ;)
• GREAT AUDIO - The Bodhi Floaty takes full advantage of the HERO5 Black's three mic system. Your footage will sound great
• EASY TO PUT ON - Fits around your camera like a smartphone case, and can be quickly put on or removed. No need to hassle with attaching it to a backdoor. No need to put adhesive on your GoPro Housing or trust those adhesives to stick. Does not rely on velcro because thats a terrible idea (unless you want to lose your GoPro)
