But if you’re the adventurous type, you’re going to get a lot more out of your nifty GoPro if you’ve got a few extra accessories to enhance the camera’s function and performance.
There are a lot of quality add-ons for GoPro action cameras, so it’s understandable you may be overwhelmed with options.
We’ve stepped in to help you narrow down what we believe are the best GoPro accessories for various activities. Read on to find out about the best GoPro accessories for travel and everyday use, for mountain biking and motorcycling, for diving and snorkelling, and for vlogging.
Best GoPro accessories for travel and everyday use
GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp Mount
GoPro’s basic tension clamp offers a lot more flexibility than many competitors on the market. It clamps to anything round or flat with a diameter between 0.6cm and 5cm. That includes skateboards, bicycle handlebars, a tree branch or street sign – the options are limitless.
The GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp Mount also comes with a removable malleable neck that helps you reposition the camera easily, quickly and securely – a must for on-the-go photography.
This mount is compatible with all GoPro HERO cameras but not the Max or Fusion range.

GoPro 3-Way
If you can’t make up your mind on which mount is best, this versatile 3-Way has been designed just for you.
It offers maximum flexibility, allowing you to use the mount as a camera grip, extension arm, or tripod.
The extension arm can be folded so you can capture follow-cam or point-of-view footage, or extended 50cm for those ever-popular selfies.
But the lightweight, miniature tripod is even more impressive, fitted cleverly inside the extension arm handle.
The GoPro 3-Way works with all HERO cameras as well as the GoPro Max.
