5. Operating Instructions

The DJI Floating Handle is designed for intuitive use in aquatic environments.

• Before Water Use: Always ensure your camera is properly sealed and waterproof according to its own specifications before attaching it to the floating handle and entering water.
• Secure Grip: Hold the handle firmly using its non-slip grip. For added security, always use the wrist strap and keep it around your wrist while filming in water.
• Buoyancy: In the event the handle is dropped in water, its hollow design will cause it to float to the surface, making it easy to retrieve your camera.
• Filming: Use the handle to stabilize your camera and capture steady footage while swimming, snorkeling, or engaging in other water sports.

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your DJI Floating Handle:

• Rinse After Use: After each use in saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse the handle thoroughly with fresh water to prevent corrosion and residue buildup.
