My Favorite GoPro Accessories
First up on our list is a waterproof case from Kupton. Even though the Hero5 is now waterproof you will still need a case for diving to any real depths and it’s really not such a bad idea if you to have one if you know for sure that you’re going to be using it in either the water or snow. That small layer of extra protection goes a long way. Made of a PMMA material the waterproof case is good for up to 45 meters underwater. It has a quick release lever so you can easily remove your camera. I would have say that the extra protection is worth the money, you can pick up a case for just under $20.
Next is the head mount & chest strap. A great hands free way to go, giving you some of the best point of view (POV) angles and perspectives. POV allows for a more personal feel to your videos and photos. The straps include a 2 year warranty for ultimate protection.
For a more stable shot you’ll want the selfie stick/monopod. It can adjust from 11.8″to 36.6″ and gives you a full 360 degree so you can capture the hard to get shots as well as still shots. It is lightweight and easy to carry with you making it perfect for the outdoors.
The 2-pack replacement battery and dual battery charger is crucial for never ending battery life. It’s a deal at just $25.99, you get 2 batteries and the portable charging dock & cord as well.
Last, but not least, a flexible tripod. This mini tripod stands just 12 inches high and is equipped with wrapping legs. Making it the quickest solution for setting up on rough terrain. Just bend the legs or wrap them around something like a tree branch to make your camera level for unique quality shots.
