I am going tubing this weekend and I want to be able to bring my GoPro with me. I was planning on picking up a head strap and I already have the floating back door, but I'm worried that going over a big wake could knock the camera off. I know that's what the floaty door is for, but I just got the camera a week ago and I really don't want to risk losing it. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

i actually did this a couple weeks ago at Dale Hollow Lake. i used a regular headstrap mount and just tethered a floating piece with it. i'm not sure if the floaty backdoor is strong enough, but it's worth a test in the bathtub to see if it will hold the camera and headstrap's weight together.

there is the video clip from it.. first try at making a clip lol. but it shows from a tuber's POV as well as the water skiier. the headstrap did pop off on a couple of occassions but the whole thing floated.
