Olympus STRAP FLOAT RED Reviews
When I am not by water I replace this strap with the normal one that came with the camera because this is way too bulky for everyday use. I took my olympus stylus 1030 to Lake Powell for a week and I guarantee I would have dropped my camera playing with it in the water. This worked better than I was expecting. I would also leave the camera in the water for up to 2 hours while swimming and it never absorbed water like other people stated. I could throw the camera off the house boat into the water and it would stay right on the top, not really ever going under the water at all.
Mine just kept floating like it said it would. I read a couple reviews about similar products that didn't float cameras and was kind of worried. Well I don't have anything to be worried about now. I would recommend this product to anybody with a waterproof camera that is going to be using it in the water (I don't know why else you would buy a waterproof camera but i wanted to clarify).
I just got back from the beach with my family and it worked great. Good Job Olympus. This strap works well with the amazing Olympus Stylus 1030SW. We had a ball with it in the ocean and now have some great memories to boot. The strap is a must if you intend to use the camera any where near moving water.
We recently used the float strap on a rafting trip in Montana. but all in all - very impressive.
he's a little more adventurous than I am and felt the need to see if the float would support the weight of the camera in a moving river. we were all in small inner tubes and our cameras saw PLENTY of water time.
Slow moving river - not rapids. the float worked GREAT.
So there you go. I was as surprised as anyone.
My husband and I both have the Olympus 850SW and both have the float strap. IT DID.
Bring it back above water, squeeze the water out, and let it fill with air, and it works again. The only problem I noticed is that it works kind of like a sponge. If it is squeezed under water, it will suck in the water and (slowly) sink. This works ok, it made it so my camera didnt sink to the bottom of a lake :). Pretty goofy the way it works, but it's better than nothing. If it fills up with air, it floats. I would think with the godawful size that it wouldn't be just a sponge.
The idea behind this is good but it is very bulky and you will need to plan ahead when you maybe near deep water as this strap is not great for day to day use.
