The PowerGrip H2O system is a device that can be described as a highly functional cross between the [PolarPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polarpro-defender-body-cap) PowerPole and ProGrip. This device is essentially a [waterproof selfie stick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divevolk-seatouch-4-max-platinum) that is equipped with an integrated battery, which allows you to charge your [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-hero-12-black) underwater at depths of up to 30 meters.

This device packs a generous 6,700-mAh lithium battery that offers more power than six fully-charged GoPro batteries -- in other words, 12 hours of use -- on a single charge alone.

The underwater world offers some simply unbeatable opportunities for stunning photography, so it makes a lot of sense to have a device like the PowerGrip H2O that is able to both help you capture awesome selfies underwater whilst also charging your GoPro so you can capture even more shots.
