Beware: it’s not a float!!!!
I have been a fan of the Stylus Tough series. I had a 770 SW then bought a 1030 SW — I use them for skiing, snorkeling and kayaking.

Olympus floating strap
The strap is too big. It needs a slider on it to make it adjustable to fit your wrist. I would rather had bought a neck I.D. holder and just worn it around my neck.

float strap
I got the Olympus 1030 SW camera for Christmas and have loved it. Getting the float stap was an added bonus.

It works
I have a Panasonic DMC-TS1 and based on testing it in my saltwater fish tank this thing works pretty good. It easily keeps it afloat.

This won’t work for the 1030 SW
Just wanted to confirm another review I read. I have had this a while, but just got around to lake testing it. Glad I didn’t trust it.

It works
It makes the camera float, so far it works fine and hasn’t broke so I don’t have any complaints.

The floating strap for the camera is super lightweight and small, it works great. It has a tiny loop on the top of the orange part that I’m assuming would be good to hook keychains or to hang on a hook or something. I’m not really sure, I haven’t found a use for it but you can just fit a finger through it. Otherwise, a great produc – you’ll definitely need something like this if you’re using an underwater camera in the ocean. I have an Olympus Stylus 1030SW camera and it goes up to 33ft underwater but if it were to sink lower than that it would basically die, so getting the floating camera strap was a necessity. I think it comes in other colors but the orange is what I have and it’s great!

Not So Sure
Got it in the mail today. Not impressed but we will see. First off….. the attaching piece that connects to the camera loop and the wrist band is questionable.

I tested this with my 1030sw and it will NOT keep my camera from sinking. If I gently lay the camera in the water then it will just barely keep it afloat but if the camera has any momentum (such as when you drop it into the water) it will slowly sink to the bottom of the pool.

This won't work if you are actually concerened about dropping your camera. It just isn't sized properly for the 1030sw
