\"GoPro<\/a><\/p>\n

The Handler<\/a> is GoPro’s move into the hand held grip market for waterborne users. It is designed to perform a very similar role to the GoPole Grenade grip with the added bonus that the GoPro The Handler<\/a> is designed to float (even when using a Bacpac).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/a><\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/a><\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/a><\/p>\n

The Handler<\/a> is white with an orange base. Both the grip and bolt are dark grey in colour. The nut that is usually found on GoPro QR hardware has been replaced with a low profile nut that is retained within the unit. A great feature that should be replicated on all GoPro hardware.<\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/a><\/p>\n

Specs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeps your GoPro afloat so you can shoot in and around the water worry-free
\nEnables more stable footage than holding the camera by hand
\nMakes it easy to aim your camera and capture a variety of angles
\nComfortable, non-slip construction for a secure grip
\nPerfect for surfing, kayaking, wakeboarding and other water sports
\nFloats any GoPro camera plus LCD Touch BacPac\u2122 or Battery BacPac\u2122
\nIncludes an adjustable wrist strap for greater security of your camera
\nIncludes The Tool, a GoPro thumb screw wrench that doubles as a bottle opener
\nWaterproof to 33\u2019 (10m)<\/p>\n

The Handler<\/a> is a good size, and is comfortable to hold. It is far superior in both these respects compared to the GoPole Grenade grip, although the foam grip may prove to be less robust. Only time will time with this one.<\/p>\n

The camera is fitted to the Handler<\/a> by removing the QR mount and bolting the camera directly to the unit. All GoPro cameras are therefore compatible. I do think there are better ways to doing this but it does work effectively and is only a real hassle when swapping from one mount to another. <\/p>\n
