Geila Waterproof Floating Hand Grip Tripod Stick Handle Mount Accessories for Water Sports
Product description
If you regularly take your camera into the water, a standard grip can feel like a bit of a gamble. This Geila floating hand grip and stick handle mount accessory is designed to help you keep hold of your setup while snorkeling and doing other water-based activities, with a textured, non-slip grip and a float-style form factor.
On paper, it’s the kind of accessory that focuses on practical handling rather than advanced camera features: it aims to stay manageable when wet, while the waterproof storage compartment offers a small spot for essentials. Still, it’s worth bearing in mind that it’s an add-on for mounting, not a full filming system by itself.
The essentials
This floating hand grip trippod-stick handle mount accessory combines a textured grip with a waterproof floating body. The idea is simple: when you’re in or around the water, you want something that’s easier to hold securely and less likely to become a problem if it slips. The hand grip is specifically described as non-slip (and not the kind of rubber that gets sticky in sun exposure), which matters if you’re filming with damp hands or in changing conditions.
It also includes a mount with thumb screw and comes with an adjustable wrist strap, so you can choose whether you prefer to hold it with one hand or keep it tethered to your wrist for added control.
Where it shines in use
A good way to think about this accessory is as “wet-weather confidence” for quick filming. Imagine you’re snorkeling and you want a steadier angle for short clips: the textured handler is meant to be easy to grip even when conditions are wet, and the floating design is intended to help you keep the unit where you need it.
Beyond handling, there’s a waterproof storage compartment inside the float mount described as useful for small items such as cash or a boat key. It’s also positioned as contributing to neutral buoyancy during snorkeling and similar underwater activities. That’s a neat bonus if you dislike carrying extra pouches, though the storage space is clearly for small essentials rather than anything bulky.
Key features to consider
The build materials are a big part of the appeal here. The cylinder and stopper are made from EVA (with PC for the cylinder/stopper parts mentioned), and the product is described as solid and anti-rust for use in saltwater. The adjustable strap is nylon, and it’s noted as not easy to break.
Another detail is the hollow cylinder design with waterproof storage and the neutral buoyancy goal. If your main priority is staying afloat while still having a comfortable grip, this design choice is central.
On the mounting side, the accessory includes a strong attached mount and screw so your camera is held tightly, with the claim that no other mount accessories are required.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you mainly want a compact, grab-and-go floating grip for water sports, plus a more secure hold when hands get wet. The fact it’s pocket-sized and described as usable on land and in water is useful if you travel light and don’t want a separate rig for “every time the camera might end up near water”.
It might not suit you if you’re expecting a full tripod system with detailed adjustability or a range of mounting options beyond what’s provided. Also, while it’s described as compatible with certain action camera models, you should double-check your exact camera version fits the stated compatibility list before relying on it.
Final verdict
It’s a solid choice if your real-life filming problem is handling and safety in wet conditions: textured non-slip grip, a float-style approach, and a thumb screw mount are aimed directly at that. The small waterproof storage compartment is a nice extra when you’re out on the water and want to keep a couple of essentials close.
Should you buy it? Worth considering if you’re already using an action camera from the listed range and want an accessory that feels more controlled in and around the water. Better avoided if you need a more versatile camera mounting system or if your priority is advanced stabilisation rather than a straightforward floating handle with secure clamping.
