My only note of caution this may be a little uncomfortable to people with smaller wrists (but they can't make the pod any smaller otherwise it won't fit regular-sized point and shoot cameras). I am a very petite woman and have very narrow wrists and at first the wrist pod felt very cumbersome and large but again logistically it can't get any smaller and after a while I was very comfortable wearing it (I use it mostly for snorkeling, so being in the water may be part of that). Still love this little gadget!

I was worried that my camera might fall off when I originally got this, but my worry was short lived. The grip is strong. If you know Velcro then you know what I'm talking about. It's permanently attached to a tripod piece, so you can just screw it into your tripod mound which is a very strong connection.I like the fact that my camera can flip in when I want to really get physical, and flip out when I want to capture a moment. That feature is very convenient and gives me peace of mind.
Use it with your waterproof camera and jump on in because it's designed for water sports and activities.
Best Deals for Wrist Pod
Great Quality!I take it with me biking. I used to have to wear my camera on a strap around my neck and it would constantly flop around. This allows me to keep it secure and easily accessible. My only complaint is that I didn't find it earlier before I invested in that camera strap.
Honest reviews on Wrist Pod
Got this for a beach holiday I'm NOT a surfer, but have just got a (TS-3) waterproof camera and wanted some efficient way of carrying it. The Golden Hour strap was the only real wrist mount I found. Just back from its 1st major trip and used it kayaking, cenote swimming, snorkelling and general swimming. And now while running with the dog at home...As a means of transporting a small light (and ideally weather/waterproof) camera the wrist strap is a supremely good idea and well-executed! Just unvelcro the cover flap and your camera is secured to your wrist ready to go.
Some of the cenote photos I got would have been v difficult without this. I used a climbing harness and rope to rapell in; you wouldn't want a loose camera flapping around on a normal strap or in a shorts pocket in that scenario.
Any issues? Minor quibbles:
the circlip holding the tripod screw into the strap to stop it falling out is a bit fiddly and likes to drop off. Not a big issue as it isn't needed but something to keep an eye on (ie you won't find it in a sandy car park!).
underwater the cover strap velcro can float in the way of the lens I just doubled it back of course.
wrist velcro is too small really to go over clothes a version for going over outdoor clothing would be interesting for hikers, climbers etc when in inclement weather.
Summary: far more useful than I imagined. If you have a waterproof / weatherproof you probably would find this v useful.
