If you own a GoPro camera, you're also going to need the best GoPro accessories to go with it. Read on to find out what they are!
While the GoPro is a wonderfully versatile device in its own right, the best GoPro accessories can give it all kinds of new abilities!
There are also some less exciting but perhaps more essential purchases that you'll also want to to keep in mind, such as spare batteries, cases, SD cards and more.
Action Camera Accessory Kit
While there are a ton of GoPro knockoffs that include dozens of mounts and accessories with their cameras, GoPro unfortunately does not and buying each accessory individually can be costly.
Neewer 50-1 Action Camera Accessory Kit is one of the highest rated bundles and provides an assortment of standard and conversion mounts to make it easy to attach the camera to a variety of surfaces for just about any situation.

Amazon Basics Carrying Case
Once you start collecting accessories, you'll need a convenient way to store and transport them all. The Amazon Basics Carrying Case is a great value, offers plenty of protection and it comes in a variety of sizes depending on your needs.

SanDisk Extreme MicroSD Card
With the GoPro Hero10 Black and Hero9 Black's ability to record 5K video, the Hero8 Black and Hero7 Black’s 4K output, you'll definitely need more storage than the 32GB or 64GB card that comes standard with the camera (depending on the model). The Hero10 Black, Hero9 Black and Hero8 Black can accept up to a 256GB microSD card.
For added safety and for the ability to keep shooting videos nonstop, pick up two cards so you can keep shooting while your other card is offloading footage. Make sure it says UHS Class 3, which guarantees the card can write data to it at a high rate for 6K, 5K and 4K footage.

GoPro Extra Battery / Battery Charger
GoPro sells a dual battery charger that also acts as a case to keep the battery contacts clean when not in use. It comes with one extra battery but has slots to charge two batteries simultaneously — and you can recharge your first battery while using the second. The best part is that you can connect the charger to a power bank you have on hand and connect it via USB.
The GoPro Hero10 Black and GoPro Hero9 Black have a battery that's both a different size and capacity to earlier models. As a result, the batteries for the Hero10 Black and Hero9 Black are incompatible with earlier GoPros, and vice versa.

GoPro Floaty
Talk to enough people that spend time by the water with their GoPro and you're almost guaranteed to hear horror stories about how they lost their camera.
If you partake in any activities in, on or near water, you should consider picking up the GoPro Floaty: a removable bright orange foam attachment to ensure the GoPro comes back up to the surface and can be easily spotted.
If you spend time in or on the water and can’t sacrifice the use of your hands to film yourself or friends, you should also consider the GoPro Bite Mount, which can work alongside the GoPro Floaty. Similar to the mouthpiece on a snorkel, the GoPro Bite Mount will help prevent those accidents while also allowing an interesting hands-free perspective.

GoPro Media Mod
The GoPro Media Mod is the foundation for GoPro’s new focus to make the latest GoPros as good with audio as they are with video. The main feature with the Media Mod is a built-in shotgun microphone with wind reduction in a sleek form factor.
The GoPro Media Mod also adds a number of connections, including two cold-shoe mounts, micro-HDMI, USB-C and a 3.5mm microphone port, eliminating the need for the previous necessary audio dongle. The GoPro Media Mod adds a platform to connect multiple items including the company’s Lighting Mod and Display Mod.

GoPro Light Mod
GoPro has finally added an external light accessory for filming in dimly lit scenes. The GoPro Light Mod can be used as an accessory for the GoPro Media Mod or a standalone product for the GoPro or another camera system. The GoPro Light Mod is a 10 LED array and varies from 20 to 200 lumens in three user selectable brightness levels as well as strobe function.
It also comes with a silicone diffuser for washing a subject in soft lighting when needed. When used in with the GoPro Media Mod, it can attach via the cold shoe but it also comes with removable mounting fingers to mount it to any GoPro mount in case you wanted lighting on a subject from a different angle.

GoPro Display Mod
The GoPro Display Mod is easily paired with the GoPro Media Mod. The 2-inch GoPro Display Mod plugs in to the Micro HDMI port in the back and can pivot up or down when not in use, allowing you to clearly see what you are filming.
It includes a rechargeable internal battery so it won't drain the camera’s battery and will last about an hour. You can also charge the GoPro Display Mod using an external battery pack while in use.

GoPro Max Lens Mod
The GoPro Hero9 Black brought back a key feature with the ability to change the lens. The GoPro Max Lens Mod, gives your videos a 155-degree field of view. The GoPro Max Lens Mod is made by GoPro so it can also communicate with your GoPro allowing you to use its Max HyperSmooth stabilization (up to 2.7k/60 fps), and can also horizon-lock your videos along both the horizontal and vertical axis.
