Float strap sting broke on first trip
My DC500 floats well with the strobe securely attached, but not without - and in some strong currents, I just take the camera for video. I am good about keeping the wrist strap secure, or the camera in pocket with suicide clip on D-ring but guano happens and I thot the float strap was a good idea.
Now I have a longer string threaded thru slits in the float strap, tied behind the suicide clip strap. The slits may weaken the float but the string is more secure.
