- See the full-length video: • SAMETOP Floating Hand ...
SAMETOP sent me their Floating Hand Grip and I wanted to see how it stacks up against GoPro's The Handler floating hand grip. In this video, I unbox the SAMETOP then use it in the waves of one of the World's largest bodies of fresh water, Lake Michigan. I let you see for yourself how these two floating hand grips keep my GoPro HERO5 Black and GoPro HERO7 Black action cameras afloat in the choppy waves. No fancy edits, no quick cuts...I just let you watch and compare the two so you can make your own best judgement.
I found the SAMETOP Floating Hand Grip performed remarkably well and it has the added advantage of a water-tight storage compartment built-in to the handle itself. This would be convenient for keeping a few dollars safe and/or a boating license, etc. At roughly half the price of GoPro's The Handler, the SAMETOP Floating Hand Grip offers good value in my opinion.

That is some serious heavy breathing.
I went back to watch it myself...you're right!! 🤣I didn't realize how evident my breathing is and I'll have to blame my GoPro HERO10 mounted to a chest mount so it must be like a stethoscope! 🩺😆Good thing they don't make a waist mount or Lord knows what we'd have heard! 🤣Thanks for watching! 👍
Yea right that sounds like you climbed a mountain a few seconds ago. 😬
Do yourself a favour and visit a doctor or find out what you can do about it. Doesn't matter where that GoPro was mounted, that does not sound good my friend 🙌
@@chrisworkandmachinesOh, I'm well aware of the problem being heart and lungs made for a 160lbs man installed in a 250lbs man...tends to make the pair work overtime simply sloshing through the gentle waves and sandy lake bottom 🤣. Unfortunately, doctors have more immediate issues to deal with on me at the moment but I do appreciate your concern and hopefully will be around long enough to get the weight down 🙏. Thanks for watching!
Looks like you have health issue 😅
@@WorksIRLglad you kept a positive attitude. Dude was kinda rude. Hope you have an amazing day today.
This guy is terrified to put them in the water
😆
Should put a fishing line on it to prevent it being lost. But glad it work out
Definitely like your idea as fail-safe measure! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think the blue is better for this darker water and the orange is made for blue water.
I must agree with you on that! Thanks for watching!
Fresh water looks so muddy 🤣
🤣man, I couldn't agree more! Classic Murphy's Law this video gets so many views when I recorded such an ugly "bad water quality day" compared to so many other times the water is crystal clear 😆You'll have to take my word for it that Lake Michigan at least along the Western Michigan shoreline is usually beautiful clean fresh water...just not this day or place. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
That’s cool!
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting 👍🏼🐟
Thanks for watching!
Watching here from SIARGAO ISLAND Philippines
Such a beautiful place on Earth perfect for a floating grip…I’m very pleased to hear from you…thank you for watching! ✌️
I literally just left there 3 days ago and am now in Camiguin - love the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤
Nice. Got me thinking I need both - there are waters with different colors- Lake Michigan & Caribbean sea for exp 😊
That does make sense! Sure wish I’d picked a better water quality day given how many viewed this has had…The Governor of Michigan may have me arrested for poorly representing Michigan 😂. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments! 👍
Gopro technology keeps getting better and better 👍
Agreed!
Ya, i agree
I will consider going to lake michigan because I live near it
I have one of those for my GoPro 12 much better then the old yellow one
That's great to hear...thanks for sharing and watching! ❤
I will say testing in fresh water is a good test
Thanks for watching!

Surprisingly the blue is more bright and visible
I do think it has a way of standing out in these conditions. I think in more "clear" or "bluer" water conditions the orange may have a slight advantage and the GoPro one seems to stick up just a bit higher in the water, too. The SAMETOP definitely does the job, though 👍
Not exactly the same thing, but There was research done on color of pfd underwater for rescue purposes…color and turbidity of water had a lot to do with visibility…
@@johnrobertson7583 You make a very valid point and I love your vocabulary using "turbidity"...great, proper terminology 👍In my hometown back in the 1970s, the fire department changed firetruck paint color from classic "fire engine red" to a "florescent green" because study had shown at night the color red was actually harder to see. As a child, I remember explaining my coloring actions to teachers suspecting I had learning challenges or was color blind after grading my renderings of firetrucks in book report drawings and participating in civic group wall painting projects as I portrayed my firetrucks in green rather than traditional red. 🤣The conditions and environment in which a color will be seen is critical! I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughtful insight!
Was wondering if it still floats when the GoPro is in a waterproof case?
That's a good question...I don't know as I don't own that deep-water case. Maybe someone else watching can chime-in and let us know. Thanks for watching.
I've lost my gopro with the gopro floating handle in a shipwreck at -30 meters deep. Incredibly must be negative at this deep, the gopro luckily sink down like a rock
Bummer! Sorry to hear that ☹️. With GoPro rated to 10 meters without protective underwater case I wonder if its seals allowed water to infiltrate internal audio and minute compartments making it heavy enough to counter balance the buoyancy of the handle? You have lovely underwater shorts so I’m sure you know better than anyone with your experience…again sorry you lost your GoPro to the depths.
@@WorksIRL Typically when we go down to a shipwreck we put on the protective housing. So water does not get in anywhere. I usually keep it clipped on to my BC or to my wrist.
I wish the whole handle was coloured orange rather than black. I feel like it would be easier to see.
You know, that would be a better idea! Might be worth dropping that as a comment on the GoPro website.👍
Or you could just paint it 😂
i got a GoPro ten for Christmas this year and was wondering if you knew mine could go in water like that
Congratulations on getting such a cool xmas gift! Yes, GoPro HERO10 as-is is stated to be waterproof to 33-feet under water (check that figure first...just going by memory).
thank you!
I would have found a crystal clear reservoir or quarry pool to chuck it in 😂 i think the blue one is a bit more visible in the murky water tho, atleast on camera
🤣 I fully 💯agree with you on the ugly water in my video 🤢. Honestly, our "normal" Lake Michigan spots are crystal clear waters but of course, we chose a closer-to-home location when I shot this video and what horrible water conditions! Classic irony, I normally put a ton of effort into a video and get 12 views so figured it's not likely worth reshooting to save upsetting the few folks watching my video...go figure this shorts and long-form video get 173k views! 😆. I don't think the Michigan's travel/tourism board would be too likely to use my video in their "Pure Michigan" marketing campaign..."Come swim in our brownish-green cesspool we call Lake Michigan!" 🤣. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your constructive feedback! 👍
@@WorksIRL nothing wrong with the video man don’t gotta explain yourself 😉 i was just saying i would be afraid to chuck it in there and it sank lol you wouldn’t be able to see it. also i grew up with a cottage on Lake Erie. Im used to the chocolate milk water lol. All the great lakes are like that just not LM
Lake michigan
What case do you have on your gopros id like to get one.
GoPro HERO5, HERO6 and HERO7 used to come with an exterior plastic cage which had the typical GoPro screw mount hole tabs on the bottom. The GoPro HERO cameras themselves didn't have any built-in mount so they fit inside the plastic cage which had the mounting tabs. Starting with HERO8, GoPro started the design concept of integrating the mounting tabs into the bottom of the camera itself. If you have a HERO5, 6, or 7 then you should be able to get these plastic cages still or at least from 3rd-party vendors as they made many different styles. You wouldn't need the cages if you've got HERO8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 since they have the mounting tabs built-in on the bottom. I hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching!
You sound like your not able to breathe at you ok is your blood pressure at 230
You are so right! Seeing your Ronald McDonald channel avatar pretty much answers why I'm huffing and puffing walking through that sand thanks to me spending too much time visiting your buddy and his establishment of delightful "healthy" eatables 🤣🍔🍟🧋! Thanks for your concern and I can say I'm back to daily walking 3 miles which is helping drop a few pounds and improve my lung function 🙏Thanks for watching!
❤️👍👍
Truly appreciate that...thanks! 🙏
Are you using the hero 5?
I’m recording HERO5 and HERO7 each mounted to one of the floating grips from a HERO10. Upside down and underwater recordings are from the HERO5 on the GoPro grip and HERO7 on the SAMETOP grip. Checkout the full-length video in the link to see more details.
Seems like they need a strobe with a liquid sensor.
Hey, that's a great idea! You should invent and market that!! 👍Thanks for watching!
is gopro hero 11 safe to drop in ocean salt water without any dive case on?
Yes, my understanding is all the GoPro HERO5, HERO6, HERO7, HERO8, HERO9, HERO10, HERO11 and HERO12 are water proof down to 33 feet (11 meters) underwater without an external dive case. The optional external dive case increases the effective water-proofing depth beyond the 33 feet to some much deeper limit. Rinsing the camera exterior after being submerged in salt water or any water is prudent to clean out salts or particles from drying inside any crevices or microphone/speaker openings.
Is safe but if you open it up on the beach to change batteries sand and salt may come inside the battery door. It happened to me and now im debating getting a cluncky protective case or swapping the door and getting a floaty or silicone case that would be much easier to carry on a strap
@@omarkharnivall2439 thanks for watching and sharing your experience to help answer comments here! 👍
Is that a waterproof case...if so, which one?
Neither of my GoPro cameras (HERO5 and HERO7) is in any waterproof case. Just their mounting cages. They’re both naturally waterproof to a depth of 11 meters (if my memory serves me).
Is that the travel pack from Gopro?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by the GoPro Travel Pack.🤷🏻♂
Is GoPro 12 creator edition waterproof with the mic on or should remove the mic??
No, the GoPro using the media mod with its external microphone is not waterproof. It might withstand a light rain but I'd not want it to get doused with water. Thanks for watching and sharing your question. 👍
@@WorksIRL so I can remove the external and vlog in a pool using itself microphone ?
I recommend you download the GoPro HERO12 manual from GoPro's website and/or watch some of their "how-to" and "instructional" videos on their website and GoPro's various RUclips channels so you can learn the proper way to use your GoPro HERO12. Using my GoPro HERO10 in water, I need to remove the media mod and make sure all the GoPro HERO10 compartment doors and covers are properly closed and sealed to ensure no water intrusion into the GoPro HERO10 camera. Good luck and be sure to follow GoPro's instructions before submerging your GoPro HERO12 into any amount of water.
3 gopros at a time 😮
Good observation and deduction 👍3 cameras is a bit of a pain but worked for this one 🤣. Thanks for watching!
@@WorksIRL in India 3 cameras will cost us 1.5 lk rs approx that’s why i was amazed 🙏🏼💐 gratitude & love ❤️ from INDIA 🇮🇳
@@anshyatri7459 I definitely don’t take my privileged abundance and relative affluence for granted here in the USA and fully appreciate how hard so many like yourself work for possibly more modest belongings in other countries 🙏. I wish you good fortune and good health, brother! 🇺🇸🇮🇳
How do you hook the wrist thing up
I just posted the following video to show you how to attach the wrist strap…I hope this helps. ruclips.net/video/qya6XSw82-E/видео.htmlsi=584WwDWHyfJUEPkg
1. Lake Baikal is the world's largest freshwater lake by both volume (22995 km3) and depth (1741m).
2. Lake Tanganyika is the second-largest freshwater lake by volume alone, only falling behind Lake Baikal.
By Surface Area
1. Lake Superior - The largest of North America's Great Lakes.
2. Lake Victoria - The largest lake in Africa and the second-largest freshwater lake by surface area in the world.
3. Lake Huron - Another of the Great Lakes.
4. Lake Michigan - Yet another of the Great Lakes.
By Volume
1. Lake Baikal - Located in Siberia, Russia, it's the world's deepest and most voluminous freshwater lake.
2. Lake Tanganyika - This African lake is the second deepest in the world.
3. Lake Superior - As well as being vast in surface area, it also holds a great volume of water.
4. Lake Malawi (or Lake Nyasa) - Another African lake with significant volume.
5. Lake Michigan - Holding a vast amount of water, it's again one of the Great Lakes.
Wow, thank you for posting those fascinating fresh water resources facts and validating my video claim that Lake Michigan is “one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the world!” I knew it was one of the largest but didn’t realize it rated as highly as #4 and #5 in surface area and volume respectively as your research lists! Thanks for watching and sharing the world’s largest, precious bodies of freshwater! 💪👍😎
That’s some dirty ass water I wouldn’t want to lose my shit in that either let alone be in that water
🤣I cannot disagree with you! That was one ugly-water day and in a spot we'd not visited before. Very poor representation of Lake Michigan. Literally an hour North of that spot the water is crystal clear...same Lake! Figures this is where I'd record...thanks for watching and I hope you didn't lose your appetite 🤣
@@WorksIRL lol I know this first hand account Philly beaches super dirty didn’t know it could be that clear until I went to a trip to Puerto Rico to see my grandpa that the beach can be so clean and blue you can see little fishes swim up to you
If you tested, so give me this one camera 😅
Thanks for watching 😀

Se ve padre
I'm trusting "Google Translate Spanish to English" which says "Looks father" so I'll assume you're making a positive comment that I'm giving fatherly advice therefore I'm right. 😆 Thanks for watching!
@@WorksIRL Jajajaja all right. I didn't think you would see my message, especially because it is in Spanish and there were many more comments. Thank you for considering it a positive message. And it means that the product is "good" or incredible.😎
I'm delighted it was positive 🤣 Thanks for watching and leaving your nice comment 🙏
What about your Breath ?
Dropped 30lbs since and breathing is better! 😎 Thanks for watching and your concern 👍
Why not have LED strobe lights
That's a cool idea...I like it!👍
Orange is better
Given orange is so often used for safety vests, etc...there must be a reason 😀It does seem to stand out a bit more. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment!
@@WorksIRL nws thanks for a great video wish people would like my videos and comments
@@theplacetobefunnyvideos562 Congratulations to you for having over 1.2K subs! Wow! You're doing great...keep it up!
@@WorksIRL thank you means a lot
Looks like piss water😂😂
Man, I have to agree with you! I feel like I need to take a shower every time I see the thumbnail in my RUclips content list! 🤣I promise, next time I'll pick a "clean water day" in that area or head a bit further North where you'll just have to trust me, it truly is clean, clear and fresh. Thanks for watching!
You should stop smoking
Never smoked in my life but I should probably stop eating so many cheeseburgers and pizzas 🤣Thanks for watching!
This guy just wanted people to know hes in lake Michigan lol
Isn't that basically what tombstones are for saying..."I Was HERE!" 🤣Thanks for watching ✌
Masterclass in padding runtime with absolute garbage footage.
