Frequently Asked Questions
Which GoPro cameras is the AFLTY-002 Floaty Back Door compatible with?
The Floaty Back Door is designed specifically for the GoPro HD HERO3 camera and its waterproof housing. It is not compatible with newer GoPro models that use different housing designs.
How does the Floaty Back Door attach to the camera housing?
It attaches using industrial-strength 3M adhesive backing that bonds directly to the HD HERO3 waterproof housing backdoor. Once applied, the adhesive creates a strong, lasting hold.
Will the Floaty Back Door keep the camera on the surface if dropped in deep water?
