The quick release is a blessing and a curse
I got this floating grip to replace another grip I had because I really wanted the 1/4 inch socket to be able to integrate this into a mount, and it works perfectly for that. Build quality is really nice, too. I feel bad taking off one star, but the issue is this--the grip comes with a quick release, which is super nice if you want to freely detach your camera for any reason, but the connection is all-plastic. That means that you have to mount the floating grip right next to the camera instead of at the end of a boom, which is was I was hoping to do. Forces from an extended boom multiply by the time they reach the grip, and the quick release feels sketchy at the end of, for example, a fully extended invisible selfie stick holding an Insta 360. Of course, the solution is to move the grip up between the camera and the boom, which is not a huge deal. I only point out that had they made the quick release connection out of metal or way more beefed up, then users like me would have more mounting options. That all said, I do love this grip. It works really well, and I am still glad I got it because it still integrates into a fixed mounting solution for filming over water.

I was able to request and get this floating hand grip for free from Amazon Vine, and I would have no problem spending my own money on this if I had to get another one--I might look around for something that addresses what I discussed above, but barring something very clearly on-point, I would likely just get this again. I recommend.
