Our friends over at GoPole sell awesome GoPro accessories for action sports. Their newest product, The Bobber isn't for sale just yet but we did get a chance to check out a pre-production model. We were impressed and have to say, their is nothing else like it on the market... a truly unique product.

Essentially, this is a handle that attaches to your GoPro camera's tripod mount and allows you to hold your GoPro in the water while filming. The best part is, it floats! Designed to look like a Bouey, the bright yellow handle flips upside down and floats in the water if you happen to loose hold of it during a swell. No more lost camera's at the bottom of the ocean! Tested it vigorously for a whole weekend and was very impressed. Was happy to see the Bobber even supported my GoPro with the LCD Backpac attached to the camera. Any of you guys who have GoPro's but are scared to take them out in the waves fear not, The Bobber gives you peace of mind while out filming some killer shots, and hey it looks pretty cool too! Word is they will be available for sale in the next week or so!
