The Best GoPro Accessories for Every Adventure

Action cameras let you capture footage that would be impossible with a regular camera. One of our favorite action cameras is the venerable GoPro. With excellent picture quality, fantastic image stabilization and full waterproofing, the GoPro can capture everything from ski descents to surf barrels.

Capturing the best moments is tricky without a few essential GoPro accessories. That’s why we tested the top grips, mounts and more to find the most useful accessories available. Below are our top GoPro accessories for every type of adventure.

Best GoPro Accessories

What to Consider

When shopping for GoPro accessories, think about what type of activity you are trying to film. A pro surfer looking to capture big waves is going to need very different tools than an aspiring vlogger using their GoPro for travel footage. While a few accessories, namely SD cards and batteries, are useful for every GoPro owner, most are catered towards a specific use case.

We recommend starting with GoPro’s official accessories. GoPro makes a ton of different grips and mounts that can help you capture footage on any type of adventure. Official GoPro accessories are more expensive than knockoffs, but we’ve found them to be much more durable.

How We Selected

Many of these recommendations come from dozens of hours of in-house use. For the products we couldn’t test ourselves, we performed intensive research, reviewing content from expert sources like Tom’s Guide, PopPhoto, Digital Camera World, DigitalTrends, and others, as well as thousands of consumer reviews from online storefronts like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. As for the products themselves, we evaluated them on functionality, design, and price.
