Must-buy GoPro basic accessories

Early start for beginners GoPro Hero 7/8 recommendation will buy the GoPro basic components:

• After the GoPro HERO 8 sheath and tether
  If you get a new phone, what are the first mobile phone accessories you will buy? That’s right, more than 90% of people will immediately buy a mobile phone case to avoid accidental for the new phone they just got. The “silicone sheath and tether” dedicated to Hero 8 has three important functions:

How many people can bear such a tragedy? Therefore, there is an extra battery and a charging dock for temporary emergency quick charging of the mobile power supply to make all the shooting activities go smoothly.

Selfie or handheld needs

For beginners who are new to GoPro Hero 7/8, we recommend GoPro accessories that can assist shooting with different usage requirements:

• Selfie stick + tripod
  Whether shooting people or taking selfies, there is a light and easy-to-grab selfie stick and tripod, so no matter the angle is high or low, people or selfies are not difficult. Coupled with Hero 8’s TimeWarp 2.0 mobile time-lapse function, shooting is even more powerful, and the picture catches up with professional photographers!Of course, the purchase of a selfie stick + tripod still needs to be based on shooting needs. If you want easy storage, you can choose a short Shorty mini extension pole + tripod (storage 11.7cm, extension 22.7cm). If you want to be more professional, you must consider the GoPro 3-way three-way multi-function handheld stick. The deformation function of the three-way multi-function handheld lever can be turned into a selfie stick tripod (three legs can be deployed under the selfie stick), a low-angle tripod (the lower tripod can be detached for separate use), and a camera handheld pole (three-fold convenient different Angle shooting), an invisible Selfie stick (the angle of the three-fold stick can avoid the body of the Selfie stick), it is a very versatile and practical accessory.

Non-handheld demand

When engaged in outdoor activities (for example mountaineering, skiing, rock climbing, cross-country…), if you have to take into account the handheld GoPro shooting, not only it is difficult to take the ideal picture, but it may be dangerous. Therefore, GoPro accessories that can free your hands can not only minimize the impact on outdoor activities, but also on the head, chest, and vehicles will be more likely to make your movie unique due to the first-person angle. A sense of presence and excitement.

Water/underwater sports

If you are playing water sports, of course, you can’t live without GoPro floating handles. It not only floats but more importantly, it is difficult to hold firmly under the influence of buoyancy and wave interaction during water activities (especially marine activities). With the floating handle + wrist strap, it is equivalent to buying insurance for your GoPro, and this insurance premium may not be saved!
