Olympus Float for a Tough 6 camera
The float was great. Exactly as advertised and the price was perfect

Great Product - Poor shipping
Price was right, quality was good. Only bad part of the experience was the Mail Innovations shipping. When you get USPS involved, it seems to add several days to the shipping process. Not cool.

Helpful Strap for Swimming Pool Fun.
It is as it appears in the photo. If you need a floating strap for your waterproof Olympus, this is the one.

Unsinkable
Don't send your valuable waterproof camera along with all of the pictures and videos you took, to the bottom of the sea. The Olympus Float Strap is just what you need to protect your investment and your memories.

Necessary equipment for Tough camera
I use my Tough camera mostly while snorkeling. Where I snorkel, it would be easy for the camera to get lost between the riprap and coral, if I lose hold of it--with no way of getting it back. I can even set the camera "aside" if I need to dive deep for any reason. I know the camera will be waiting for me at the surface, and the color makes it easy to find again. This is a very inexpensive layer of protection. It definitely floats the Tough TG-5 or other similarly heavy camera with ease..

Runs large if putting on your wrist
This was actually too big for me to be effective.

Great choice in floating strap
Although we haven't needed to use this floating strap yet, it is very nice and we're trusting it to keep our waterproof camera afloat should we accidentally drop it. Very confident that it'll do the job!

Definitely worth every penny!
This strap is a life saver! I like shooting pics of my kids jumping around in the waves and the surf. On more than one occasion the camera has slipped out of my hand. Had it not been for the strap, the TG-3 camera would definitely have washed out to see. This floating strap bobs high above the water for easy visiblity and recovery. Super cheap insurance policy not only for your camera but for your memories on the SD card!

Great for pools
It works great with a compact camera (Tough series), not sure if it would hold a heavier one. Great for use in a pool, as you can just let go of it and it will be easy to find, however, I would only use it as insurance in open water, the waves could make you lose it!

Better choice
Better than what comes in a kit. I bought both, and this is the one I use.

Great floatation
I just ordered the third Olympus Tough series camera for my family. Great cameras made even more usable by this handy little float strap. We swim in a chlorine pool every week & the strap keeps floating. We have used it in the ocean countless times, in rivers and in lakes. I am careful to rinse all my gear in fresh water after each use to avoid degradation. The only concern I have is that the very thin part of the strap that connects to the camera could break. But, thus far it hasn't. Tip: I now write name & phone number on the strap in Sharpie marker so if it ever floats away from reach, someone can call me to give it back.

Nice to use, with a weak link
I used this strap on my TG-820 for a couple of years, and it was comfortable and functional. However, recently I was in the water and noticed that the strap had become detached from the camera. It turns out that the thin loop that ties to the camera had broken. Fortunately, I had the camera in my hand when I noticed this, or I might have lost it. After some use, I would advise that you keep an eye out for wear on this loop.

Great strap!
So, I bought the Olympus TG820 as a family camera - to be used by my wife, two sons (6 and 2), and me...at the beach, the pool, and the park. The strap was purchased partly for it's floaty qualities, partly because it is very handly as a wrist strap, but mostly because you can see it from 40 yards away!! It is a great tool for NOT losing the camera when the little monsters walk off on a photo safari and leave it where they get distracted!!

Works as expected
I bought this strap so my Olympus TG-2 won't sink to the bottom of the pool/sea when I use it to shoot in these locations.
The strap does hold up the camera well when you drop it on the water. It does a nice job as a floatation device. The red color makes it pop out of the water so it's easy to see where it is and you can easily grab it or hook it in for retrieval.
I like the nice snap-on feature so I can remove the strap when I dont need it as it is rather bulky.
While the loop is adjustable, it is not big enough to fit over your head and around your neck. The loop is big enough to fit your arm through and that's about it.

Works Great, but be careful...
When I got my red Stylus TOUGH-3000, this came in the box. It worked great! It kept my camera afloat perfectly in the pool. Until I broke it. When I was trying to detach it from after a pool trip, the snap broke from the string that goes to the camera. I wasn't able to fix it. But overall, if you're careful with it, it can keep a camera afloat for many, many, many years.
