4.1 Water Activities

The Suptig Floating Hand Grip is ideal for various water sports and activities, including deep sea diving, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Its buoyant design ensures that your action camera will float to the surface if accidentally released, making it easy to retrieve. The bright orange color of the top and bottom caps further enhances visibility in water.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Suptig Floating Hand Grip, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Rinse After Use: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the entire grip thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and other debris.
• Dry Completely: Allow the grip to air dry completely before storing. Ensure the internal compartment is also dry if it was opened.
• Inspect O-Ring: Periodically inspect the rubber O-ring on the bottom cap for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. A damaged O-ring can compromise the waterproof seal.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials and seals.
• Storage: Store the grip in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Grip Does Not Float

• Check Camera Weight: Ensure the combined weight of your camera and any attached accessories (e.g., waterproof housing, additional lights) does not exceed the grip's maximum recommended floating weight (87 grams / 3.07 ounces).
• Empty Compartment: Verify that the internal storage compartment is empty or contains only very lightweight items, as heavy contents can reduce buoyancy.

6.2 Water Inside Storage Compartment

• Cap Tightness: Ensure the bottom cap was screwed on tightly and completely before submersion.
• O-Ring Integrity: Inspect the rubber O-ring on the cap for any dirt, sand, damage, or improper seating. Clean or replace the O-ring if necessary.

6.3 Difficulty Attaching Camera

• Alignment: Ensure the mounting fingers and prongs are perfectly aligned.
• Thumb Screw: Verify that the thumb screw is not cross-threaded and is inserted straight through the holes.
