How to get the GoPro experience

The ultimate action camera is incomplete without accessories

Premium


GoPro’s cameras are designed to be used with a lot of accessories, which let you mount the device in different ways and get shots from different perspectives. Here’s some of the extra stuff you must buy for your GoPro.

POLARPRO GOPRO FILTER

$49.99 (around 3,395), shipping extra

www.polarprofilters.com

PolarPro has a range of clip-on filters and lenses for your GoPro. There is a Polarizer, a Neutral Density filter and a Macro lens that offers a 3.8x zoom-in and lets the GoPro focus on subjects at a distance of 3-12 inches.

TURNSPRO TIME LAPSE MOUNT

£69.00 (around 6,710), shipping extra

www.turnspro.com

This is a camera mount that lets you rotate your GoPro 360 degrees, thus letting you take panoramic photos and capture time-lapse sequences. The mount can be placed on a tripod, so it is easy to use. The controls on the front allow you to adjust the direction of rotation, the angle (between 15-360 degrees) and the time between rotations (from 20 seconds to 10 hours). It runs on 4AA cells and does not have an internal battery.

JOBY ACTION GRIP

$24.95 (shipping extra)

www.joby.com

This is not a selfie stick, but an extremely advanced extendable mount that is water-proof and can be strapped to your wrist. GoPro cameras are quite small, and it is pretty much impossible to hold one during any physical activity, so you do need a mount like this to use one. The Action Grip lets you take action shots while holding the camera at a distance from you, and yes, it also helps click photographs where you are in the frame.

GOPRO CHESTY

$39.99 (shipping extra)

Shop.gopro.com

This is a harness you can mount your GoPro on so you can take photos and videos while cycling, jogging or doing any other activity that does not allow you to hold a camera.

GOPRO FETCH

$59.99 (shipping extra)

Shop.gopro.com

This is an action-camera mount for your dog. You can attach it to your dog’s back with a harness to capture life from his point of view. It doesn’t hobble your dog in any way, so he can roll in the sand, fight with your cat and run around while you capture the footage.

GOPRO SMART REMOTE

$79.99 (shipping extra)

Shop.gopro.com

While there are smartphone apps to control your GoPro, you wouldn’t want to risk using your phone near water, snow, or even when hiking. This is where the rugged GoPro Smart Remote comes in handy. It works from a range of up to 180m (600ft) and can control up to 50 cameras at a time.
