Operating range
MIL-STD-810G is a US military durability standard covering drops, vibration, temperature extremes, humidity and altitude. IP69K means it survives high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. On top of that, the 2F is designed to float — drop it in water and it stays on the surface, giving you time to recover it.
