12 Must Have GoPro Accessories in 2023

Every year in January I like to make a video going over some of my favorite GoPro accessories and gear I recommend to new users. I think for the most part all items listed are essential for every GoPro kit. My 2023 list of GoPro accessories are things you will actually use and will help you capture unique perspectives with your GoPro. Of course, depending on how you will use your GoPro, what accessories will be beneficial will be different for everyone. Most of these accessories are compatible with any GoPro, however, some will only work with the GoPro Hero 11 Black, Hero 10 Black, and Hero 9 Black. My list of the best GoPro accessories in 2023.

[@Time-LapseDiaries]

This is the first tutorial that kept me hooked from start to finish! Just bought my GoPro today, and I'm so excited to try out all these awesome tips and tricks. Thanks, everyone, and happy GoPro adventures! 🌟📸✨

[@MrPhilbautista]

Another benefit of the aluminum case is that it serves as a heat sink. It reduces the chance of overheating when pushing your GoPro recording times by drawing heat away from the body, but I wouldn't recommend hand-holding it during those occasions.

[@CooperAndFriendsGaming]

During the winter would it also make the GoPro more cold?

[@thonayanalabkal1946]

@@CooperAndFriendsGamingthat’s almost like asking “does a refrigerator make things cold?”

[@neilbland1701]

As always Shaun, thank you very much for another superb and informative video. I have a number of those you mentioned, my favourites being the Media Mod and Volta. Awesome pieces of kit and I am leaning towards possibly getting the neck mount, I am very intrigued by this simple, yet effective alternative to a chesty. Thanks again, take care.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channel

[@AmboFrog]

Great video, well done! We already have a lot of the mod's here, but always looking for more ways to use our GoPro.

[@JeannetteValenc1a]

Thanks for sharing! Cheers

[@BakeDaBot]

This Video was insanely helpful! Thanks!

[@AirPhotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great list of GoPro accessories. I have many of them already, and I'm thinking about getting some of the other ones you mentioned. Great video Shawn, and thanks for sharing.

[@albertmcfry6322]

I’m just getting into overlanding off-road. What would anyone recommend for starting out with go pro?

[@droneydan]

Good stuff! I have a lot of these items. A neck mount has been in my Amazon wishlist for a while. I'd never really considered a magnet mount, but as soon as I saw that, I thought of some places I could use it. Thanks for posting!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you. That neck mount is actually very useful. I use it more than any other accessory.

[@Lucretia019]

I just found your channel and I'm loving the content so far! Great quick video for "must have" accessories for the GoPro! I might ended up buying a GoPro Hero 12 Black and this information is great to know! Pura vida 🤘🏼

[@pinoyteam6417]

Tyvm for this video. Enjoyed it and I was educated.

[@AirPhotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@WindjumbieFPV]

Wow I need me some of those 😮

[@Khurapatilog]

Thanks a lot aur photography for this wonderful tutorial❤❤

[@RohitRaj-vu7yy]

Thanks

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Those are some cool accessories.

[@mattihp]

Liked the video! Any suggestions of a good cage so I can stick some more accessories on it and treat it like a real video camera? Being able to mount on my regular slider and tripod would also be nice

[@asadansarivlogs5555]

Very informative 🎉

[@FotodioxInc]

Nice video! Some interesting gear, love that magnet mount!

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks! 👍

[@LaudenElizabeth]

Thank you

[@VideoStoryCreator]

Is there a handle mount that is compatible with the magnetic neck mount holder? I'd like to easily switch back and forth between 1) having the camera on my chest, then 2) vlogging.

[@rea8755]

Forgot how informative your videos are and how great you voice is!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much. It’s great to hear when people join my videos.

[@NITINCHAWLA]

Hey! Love the video! Ive been documenting my life as a sailor with gopros for a while now! All the accessories you mentioned here were completely on point! 😁

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

[@EazyRed]

no way, another sailor huh! Whats your rate?

[@vijaykarnale4280]

When at the time of underwater, during rainy season do I have to buy any kind of cover for go pro hero 12

[@NirapodVlog]

Great gadget Thank you so much uncle❤️❤️ Love From Bangladesh 😍❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@EazyRed]

My grandma, who hasnt spoke to me in a long time, got me the VOLTA in december this christmas, caught me by suprise for sure!

[@NWGarage]

Great video !

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

[@reddragonxd]

Regarding Aluminium Verticle Mount (USA) , any similar case for vertical filming with a Hero 8 Black?

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Sounds kinda odd but i love the mouthpiece mount. Its just super convenient.

[@philo2128]

The floaty also comes in a set with a bite mount

[@Kevinfast47]

nice ❤

[@PlatisTobbe]

Nice list... and I have about half of them myself. But what do you think about the combo MediaMod/Volta? Especially the USB-connection into MediaMod

[@AirPhotography]

A nice kit can be expensive for some people all at once.

[@shellw1506]

Thank you. The Volta has been my best GoPro accessory ever. I used to get ‘low battery anxiety’ before, but now I’m confident to just use it without too much stress.

[@AirPhotography]

Indeed, a staple in my kit

[@trym2121]

With 8:7 aspect ratio, you still need vertical mounting?

[@uniniversalstar1974]

My husband purchased me one and I’m going to be using it mainly for recording our grandsons football games

[@octave420]

Is the GoPro hero 10 black waterproof? Which accessories are compatible with the 10? Great video by the way!

[@detroitpyro2859]

Can enduro batteries be used on hero 8? Whats diff between the hero batteries and the enduros?

[@Luccatj]

the mic case says its only for 11 10 9 does it fit twelve?

[@cindyzeng2022]

any gimbal suggest.?

[@Khurapatilog]

I am buyinga second hand go pro hero 7 black and with all accessories in $160 should I buy that or not it's few months old. Your suggestion matters to me

[@joshuazatarain7967]

The TELESIN Vertical Aluminum Cage looks great! However I have a gopro 8, are there just like it that fit the 8?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, indeed there were similar ones for it. You might just have to go on Amazon and do a search. Just make sure it is for the hero8. As it has its own unique form factor.

[@mdesikitchenfoodandtravel4764]

Nice informative video ❤🇮🇳

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks 🙂

[@TheYungGuzi]

Link for the waterproof housing?

[@TagNameMaca]

Does that first grip with the foam handle eliminate “handle noise” from the GoPro audio? The noise you get when recoding and moving your gopro around.

[@AirPhotography]

Indeed, it does help. Just keep a good firm grip on it without sliding your hand around.

[@biggooseadventures]

Nice video

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks

[@MrCoco2344]

They have alittle battery housing on etsy you can buy someone sent David manning afew for his gopros.

[@BumpNrun69]

Would've been nice if the Floating Housing extruded past the lens for protection against falls. Or if they made the Plastic Housing to float. Now I'm torn between the two when it comes to Boating & GoPro capturing. 🤔

[@cile1983]

👍

[@BrianMartininc]

Do you know about a vertical go pro case with a power cord door?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, tell us and sells one that has a mount on the side as well and you can plug power and I believe there is a opening

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Only problem with videos like this is they give you ideas to spend money 💰 Ha... There are still a couple of those I could use. Good stuff! Greg

[@robrhodes6211]

Great video and very insightful. Just wondered if I could pick your brain? I’m going to Florida in the summer (theme parks and a cruise) just wondered what you might recommend? I’m looking to buy my first GoPro and it’s a whole new world. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@AirPhotography]

I would definitely stick with the hero 11. And then you just have to figure out how you’re going to want to use it and what you want to capture. I would say the floating hand grip is a must because you can use it just for every day handheld shots or if you’re gonna be in the water.

[@robrhodes6211]

Thank you. I was thinking of maybe adding the Volta for using around the parks or a chest strap for the rides. I’m also getting married whilst in Florida and might try to film the wedding. Appreciate your time and advice.

6:24 When you dropped the GoPro in the water it kinda scared me for a second lol

[@AirPhotography]

I used to be nervous about taking my GoPro in the water. But over the years, I have never had a single problem with leakage.

[@showd300]

Just quick one mate can use a go pro as a dash cam ...?

[@AirPhotography]

Indeed, it can be done. There’s actually videos on KZbin. You can search for because they’re special firm where you can install called GoPro labs that can make it more suitable for a dash cam by enabling specific features such as keeping it plugged into USB as soon as you start the car, it’ll power the camera on and automatically start recording without you having to do anything

[@MrScarface06]

Is the media mod compatible with the max lens?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, indeed it is

[@ericbechler9903]

Nice 😃

[@stevencarrier5060]

Have you tried divinci resolve on the ipad yet?

[@AirPhotography]

I have been meaning too. I just have not got around to it yet

[@twistedjiji]

I've been considering picking up either the GoPro or the Action 3. I'm concerned about the GoPro crashing from people's reports. Have you come across this issue?

[@AirPhotography]

Mine has been very stable. I haven’t had any issues. However, with the 11 mini. The main issue I have with it is sometimes it’s hard to connect to the app, but the full-size GoPro has been flawless for me so far.

[@twistedjiji]

@@AirPhotography Ah ok. Thanks! I'm torn between picking up a GoPro or the DJI Osmo Action 3. I like the dual touchscreen and mounting on the DJI, but als the 5.3k and better image quality on the GoPro. Also thinking about a gimbal as well to minimize cropping. Any thoughts?

[@twistedjiji]

@@AirPhotography Thanks for the response. Mine just arrived today and I'm seeing an issue with the micro SD card. After recording footage and putting the SD card into the adapter it came with (Sandisk Extreme), my computer does not recognize that the SD Card is inserted. I've tried 2 other adapters and with an identical SD card I use on my drone, and that recognized it just fine. The only way for me to get the footage is to plug in a USB cable to the GoPro and transfer it from the camera. Is this normal? GoPro chat rep says my SD card is faulty, but it's brand new. Thanks for any insight!

[@MrCoco2344]

​@twistedjiji sounds like the card or the adapter is messed up the adapter might be in the locked position also which is a little tab thing on the left side.

[@bardoperez3426]

Great tips bro, been a gopro fan since day one but we can't hear you while ypur talking to well., too low...You need to pick up the volume louder. Can't hear much. 😢

[@Blahhhhhhhhhh35]

What about The shorty

[@davecoke2345]

snap mounts??

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, indeed those are also a nice accessory to have

[@m3n4cE6]

what about SNAP Mounts PRO

[@AirPhotography]

Definitely they are handy as well. I do on them and use them from time to time. It all just depends on what you plan on doing and if you plan on moving your GoPro from mount to mount frequently.

[@stevengergi6781]

No nd filters?

[@AirPhotography]

I typically don’t use ND filters on my go pros for every day filming. Usually only when mounted on an FPV drone or I’m trying to be a little creative with a Time-lapse. ND filters can affect the stabilization.

[@stevengergi6781]

@@AirPhotography oh I see that. I never tried nd filters on go pro yet. But I am always using ND filters on my pro Cameras

[@brianmcmahon6089]

I got go pro 11

[@AirPhotography]

👍

[@Paulie44]

Probably the best accessory would be a GoPro camera that actually recorded audio. Loads of content creators still complaining that GoPro camera doesn’t record audio with the media mod 👎 If you don’t believe me just search GoPro audio problems

[@MarkGrago]

This presentation is devious! You can buy MUCH BETTER GoPro accessories from 3rd parties where the QUALITY is much better&cheaper! 👎🏿
