How we write and check our guides

Nordic Flash guides answer practical questions about keeping a camera afloat, mounting it and filming on the water and the slopes. This page explains where the facts come from, who writes the guides, and how we fix mistakes.

Who writes the guides

Founder Henrik Andersson writes and approves every guide. Each guide names him in the byline and shows the date it was published. When we make a meaningful change, we also show the date it was last updated.

Where the facts come from

• Camera weights, sizes and depth ratings come from the camera maker's own spec pages and manuals, such as GoPro, DJI, Insta360 and OM System.
• Product facts, such as a float's rated capacity, come from our own product listings.
• Travel rules come from the regulator, such as the FAA for batteries on US flights.
• Every guide links its sources at the bottom of the page.

What we don't do

• We don't publish a compatibility claim we haven't confirmed. If a camera is not confirmed for a float, we say so.
• We don't invent quotes, tests or personal stories.
• We don't invent ratings or host our own review scores. Amazon's public rating may appear on product and home pages, clearly attributed, with the date we checked. Guides do not include star ratings.
• We don't give medical or safety advice. Nordic Flash floats are made to keep gear at the surface. They are not a flotation aid for people.

How we keep guides current

Guides have no date in their web address, so the same page stays current. We review them regularly and when a camera maker changes its specs or a product changes. The updated date on a guide only changes when the content itself changes, not for a small typo or layout fix.

Brand names

GoPro, DJI, Insta360, OM System, Olympus, Kodak and iPhone are trademarks of their owners. Nordic Flash is not affiliated with them, and we use brand names only to describe compatibility.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email [email protected] with the page and what's wrong. We check it against the source and fix the page if we got it wrong.
