22 Best GoPro Accessories in 2024

22 Must-Have GoPro Accessories

After consulting with professionals and testing over 50 various accessories for my GoPro Hero 8, I’m ready to share my overview of 22 best GoPro Accessories: from common tripods, screen protectors and backpacks, to advanced SD cards and accessories for extreme shooting.

GoPro accessories can significantly increase the range of subjects you can record with a GoPro camera, while also taking proper care of it.

1. Rode VideoMic Shotgun Microphone

Best GoPro accessories for recording high-quality sound

Compatible with: All GoPro cameras | Level attenuation: -10 dB and -20 dB | Frequency Range: 40Hz - 20kHz

Even though a lot of people stress over the quality of their GoPro videos, they often forget about sound quality. Thankfully, Rode VideoMic helps deal with that injustice. It’s made of two parts: a windshield and a plastic mount with a built-in microphone. Both of them will help you minimize distortions and maximize audio clarity.

This product is among the best GoPro Hero 5 accessories as it uses a super-cardioid polar pattern design to support directional recording. Also, it offers a 40 Hz-20kHz response and a high-frequency filter that prevents low-frequency sounds like cars from being captured.

2. Monoprice Camera Skate Dolly

Best GoPro accessories for smooth video recording

Compatible with: All GoPro cameras | Supplied with: Seven -20 sockets with one post screw and 3/8 adapter | Wheels: Smooth rubber with stainless steel ball bearings

Professional Skater Dolly is perfectly suited for tabletop use and low-angle motion tracking, producing cinematic panning in the form of straight lines, wide curves and full circles. You can even block the wheels from different angles to take perfectly bent shots, Michael Bay-style.

3. Waterproof LED Light

Best GoPro accessories for underwater video

Compatible with: GoPro Hero cameras 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 + Session and MAX | Power: 300 lumen | Waterproof: 147ft | Modes: 100% brightness, 50% brightness, strobe | Rechargeable Battery: 1050mAh (6 hours)

Underwater lighting plays an important role since without an external light source, your videos might end up looking dim, bleak and full off shadows. These water-resistant LED Diving Lights will help you quickly solve that problem.

Its power of 300 lumens is enough for the deepest and darkest areas that don’t receive any sunlight. The sturdy waterproof body can work even 40 meters underwater. Attach the lights near your GoPro camera or connect them to any GoPro mount to use them as a separate light source.

Compatible with: GoPro Hero cameras 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 + Session and MAX | Extends from: 6.5 to 23 inches | Application: Surfing, swimming, paddle boarding | Item Weight: 8 ounces

Your GoPro may be waterproof but it doesn’t mean that it can swim on its own. This extendable, floating grip will not let your new GoPro sink in the sea, river or ocean thanks to its special cover and floating material.

Moreover, the grip extends up to 23 inches that allows you to capture even more beautiful frames. Considering the above-mentioned information, this attachment may be easily called one of the most necessary Go Pro accessories.

5. SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO

Best GoPro accessories for recording videos in 4K

Compatible with: All GoPro cameras | Shot speeds: 90MB | Transfer speeds: 170MB | Video capture rate: 30MB/s

If you want to store and send videos in Ultra-HD 4K as if they were tiny files, consider purchasing a SanDisk SD-card from the Extreme series of accessories for GoPro that boasts 256GB of memory.

This card offers lightning-fast recording (90 MB) and transfer (170 MB) speeds, and a sturdy, water-resistant, crashworthy and temperature-enduring construction.

How to Attach and Use GoPro Accessories?

Many GoPro accessories are fixed on the camera or have a special pad. However, there are some adhesive attachments, for example, GoPro Helmet Front that is not so easily fixed. To attach adhesive GoPro mounts accessories, take the following 2 steps:

STEP 1. Attach the mount to a smooth and completely clean surface.

STEP 2. Place the mount firmly on the surface, providing full contact throughout the necessary area.

Mind that you should do it at room temperature. Let it properly adhere to the surface for 24 hours. In order to remove adhesive mounts, you may use a fan or a heat gun. In such a way, you will soften the adhesive and slowly remove it.
