TennisMaster I bought this case about a year or two ago. It has been amazing for me. I am someone who doesn’t shoot with GoPro daily. If you are like me and are interested in this stuff for a trip or experience and not for a career then definitely. Even career wise, this can definitely be a good start.

[@jackbtww]

I'm going to get a GoPro

[@rboydphotography]

I got a cheap camera for £26 and got a bunch of these accesories with it, ordered my GoPro 8 after it came on deal because the camera sucks and using the accessories are extremely unreliable. I would rather pay the 1 month(or free first month sub) to gopro plus for the 50% mount discounts deal be cause the plastic is of a higher grade and they are machined to pass higher quality standards.

[@alanhui3914]

I use my wrist mount for roller coaster ride and snorkeling .

[@Carb-A-Ween]

I've used mine the same way but I don't like the wrist one because it rolls to the side easily. I've bought another type over the palm hand area.

[@MrFuryDriver]

I took my GoPro zip lining with a cheap wrist mount. When I got to the end of the line I smiled for the camera only to see it was gone! The bit that spins around had popped out of the strap and taken my GoPro down into the dense forest below. On the 4 km walk back up the hill we spotted my camera just sitting next to the path!

[@aguadebong]

Hey! I'd appreciate some thoughts on the chest mount, big quality gap?

[@dbreck]

I got this set this week. Used the tall mount on my bike, bumped it slightly and it shattered inexplicably. Got two hairline cracks on my back screen (luckily out on the bezel) the first day I had my camera. Great kit but don't fully trust the durability of the plastic. Great videos David. Keep em' coming.

[@hockeywithjoe2664]

That suction mount is actually pretty good if you're sticking it to stationary glass. I use it to stick my GoPro to the glass for my hockey games and I haven't had any issues with it using it that way. Also, can confirm that the yellow floatie works.

I lost my first GoPro last week surfing. My fault. What I miss is the old-style chesty. I mean really old. Foam covering that hard plastic. It made for a great POV surfing mount around my neck/upper chest just by a couple alterations with velcro straps. Anyone got one of those old ones they want to sell? I've been waiting for it to go flat so I can go out and look for it. Shallow reef break. Please tell me you have some shortboards and not just Costco foamies :-)

[@jackarrow-journal5317]

sorry for your loss, i enjoy ocean sports as well, specifically scuba diving. anyways, where SPECIFICALLY did you drop your gopro? just curious :o

[@lavapix]

@@jackarrow-journal5317 I had it around my neck on a chest harness I rigged to be up at the neck. It was a small day so I didn't secure it all the way and a weak wave came and I decided not to go and I let it roll over my back and it lifted the harness off and it disappeared. When secured it works great even in heavy surf. Now I add a small bright orange silicone jacket and safety line just incase I get careless again. I brought it out for the sunrise that morning.

Keep up the fine work. One quick question, would you consider the GoPro roll cage an unnecessary addition to the hero 8 if you've got the screen protectors? Have you any experience with it? Yeh that's two questions actually. Hope you and the family are keeping safe and well. Cheers A good human

[@randyshepherd4042]

At 14:30 you talk about a velcro strap that you were not sure what it was for. I think that if to hold a remote control to your wrist. Would love to know what you think about a GoPro remote as a needed accessory (or not).

Got the same kit, it’s great for beginners just to try it and know what exactly you’re gonna be using in the future. Also when pick your best accessories, get GoPro plus for a trial period to get 50% discount on authentic mounts with much better quality, because these are cheap and won’t last long. Cool video, by the way!

Can you mount the gopro on to the selfie stick, tripod, wrist ect... while it is in a waterproof case? Or do you have to use the mount case provided in the kit?

Wrist mount: my tandem skydiver instructor used one to video us falling. Very cool

[@alexandrorocca7142]

I got this kit yesterday and I'm actually positively surprised. The only obvious piece of junk is the mini tripod, although I can use it at home for the mic or the Lume Cube. The selfie stick doesn't look like much, but it's very light and does its job, also it has a 1/4 thread on the handle that can be mounted on a gorilla pod and you'll have a 4 ft tripod in seconds. The handlebar mount seems solid, although I'm not sure if it would withstand downhill mountain biking for a long time. All the plastic pieces look good for now but exposed to the sun or cold temperature could obviously change that. Some people who have bought the same kit complain that some pieces were already brittle and broke immediately, but it doesn't seem to be the case with mine. The chest and head mounts are actually good, and just for those, it makes sense to buy the whole thing. I wouldn't trust any suction mount on the outside of a car without a safety tether but this one is not bad at all for that price. The weight of the camera can't change the main arm's position even if you drive off-road. I have enough original helmet mounts so I will not use these new ones, but they look quite similar to the GoPros, the only difference is that the adhesive pads are separate. The floating grip does exactly what the GoPro original one does, but the original plastic bottle with the action camera mount costs more than the whole 50 pieces frigging package! Once you throw the foamy thing in the trash, even the bag it's OK considering how expensive those things usually are. In conclusion: If you have any action camera with GoPro mounts, buy this kit before wasting too much money on original accessories.

[@flyingwithry]

I used the wrist mount when I hiked the Grand Canyon, in Saint Maarten on a snorkel trip and in Hawaii when on a snorkel trip.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's an interesting use! I can totally see how it would be a cool angle while snorkeling!

[@SkyDawg108]

Been researching action cams and had almost resigned myself to getting something second tier, like an Akaso, because I couldn't handle the expense of both a GoPro and even a starter pack of their accessories. I had actually stumbled on the the Neewer kit and wishlisted it on Amazon prior to finding this video. So imagine my amazement to find your review of that exact kit, and my further amazement to find that the bits are decent quality. So it's gonna be GoPro (and Neewer) FTW! Thanks!

[@PersonaN007Grata]

That clamp and a GoPro in a frame is my most used mount. I put it on the bill of my baseball cap and also on my backpack strap.

[@ClareGPhotos]

I actually bought this when I got my gopro last year! I love all of the things that came with it, and then I ended up buying some of the ones from your other go pro video, like the 3 way pole and the joby suction mount...best of both worlds!

[@stefpix]

The wrist mount is good for snorkeling at night, you can put a waterproof light on your left wrist. If you put your GoPro in the ocean on a wrist mount make sure to make a lanyard with a string and secure it to the screw mount. In many of those wrist mounts the mount itself can come off if hit by a wave.
