GoPro has provided adrenaline junkies a tool for capturing their adventures, be it biking down a mountain or braving rapids. The brand has become trusted the world over as the action camera of choice.
Even better, newer models offer 4K video recording capabilities, as well as a range of still imaging features. And it doesn’t just end there as the GoPro experience can be further enhanced with the use of accessories.
Here are ten of the best:
- GoPro Chesty
Many GoPro users strap their GoPros onto helmets. The views from that angle are perfectly fine, but if you want to get more of your body parts into the shot, the Chesty is the accessory you need.
You’ll be able to capture a lot more of your arms and knees, as well as your poles and skis while skiing with the Chesty attached to your chest. You can also include more off your arms and handlebars when you go biking or riding on your motorcycle.
Chesty is adjustable so it can cater to different adult sizes. It is ideal for activities such as skiing, motocross, or paddle sports.

- K-Edge Go Big Pro Saddle Rail Mount
There are now lots of options where you can stick your GoPro. This particular mount locks your action camera under your bicycle saddle. So apart from providing a stable place where it can operate, the saddle mount also provides a different angle to capture your adventures.
While this mount is a great idea, your camera is upside down when attached. That’s a shame because you are given one more additional task to do after you’ve had tons of fun. You still have to flip the footage during the editing process, which may not be too much of a bother for some but a hassle for those who are into sharing clips with as little fuss as possible.

- GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter
One of the problems with using an action camera outdoors is the combination of good video with subpar audio. This can be a problem when you are trying to create a short documentary or a short video. But with this accessory, you can connect an external professional-level microphone to ensure the capture of high-quality audio.

- Anker Powercore 20100
Battery life is almost always short, especially when you’re mostly taking videos. Although you can always buy extra batteries, there are moments when you need an actual power outlet, not a battery replacement.
Coming to the rescue is the Anker Powercore 20100. Yes, GoPro has their own version of a portable power pack, but this one has a much higher capacity and can charge up to three devices.

- GoPro Remo
This waterproof voice controlled remote allows you to operate your camera through voice-activated commands. It even works in windy and noisy environments. In addition, it can be used as a one-button remote. While it’s great, it doesn’t feature a screen.

- Qudos Action Video Light
On certain days, you will need a suitable amount of light to achieve the kind of shot you want. This is where the Qudos Action Video Light steps in to help: it offers three light modes with six beam settings so you can choose your preferred light intensity. You can even attach this to your GoPro when you get an Action Camera Mount Bracket.

- Tenba Shootout 14L ActionPack
You will need to store your equipment somewhere, and why not do so in a pack that is ideally suited for action cameras? The Tenba Shootout has a rain cover included but sadly, there’s not enough space for non-GoPro items.

- GoPole Scenelapse
Wouldn’t it be nice to capture the entire surrounding during one of your adventure trips? You can do so with the GoPole Scenelapse which rotates to capture not just panorama photos but also video. It can spin up to 360-degrees in 60 minutes.

- Removu S1
You will encounter water in some form, be it rain or a river, during your outdoor adventures. The Removu S1 is not only water resistant, it also prevents you from capturing shaky footage.

- Manfrotto PIXI Xtreme Mini Tripod
Action videos need stability and this mini tripod can provide what you need. It is small and light enough to handle as a grip and can be relied on as a stable tripod.
