Overview

The Garmin 010-12256-19 is a life jacket float mount that helps keep a compatible VIRB action camera afloat while you film on the water. It is made for VIRB X and VIRB XE cameras, including VIRB XE Auto Racing Bundle, VIRB XE Aviation Bundle, and VIRB XE Cycling Bundle, and it weighs about 0.3 lb.

Use it when you want the camera on your PFD during activities like surfing, kayaking, boating, or wakeboarding, with a better chance of recovery if the camera ends up in the water. It is a practical add-on for days when spray, waves, and quick re-entries are part of the plan.

Compatibility and fit

This mount is intended for Garmin VIRB X and VIRB XE action cameras. If you are using a different action camera model or a different VIRB generation, confirm the mount interface and flotation requirements before ordering.

Installation and setup

Attach the float mount to your life jacket or PFD where it will not interfere with straps, zippers, or inflation hardware. Before leaving the dock, seat the camera fully in the mount and give it a firm tug to confirm it is locked in place and pointed where you want.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water and let it dry fully before stowing. Keeping sand and salt out of the mounting points helps it stay easy to attach and remove on the next trip.

Good match for

Boaters and paddlers who film from a PFD and want a camera setup that is easier to spot and retrieve if it goes overboard.
