Top GoPro Mounts for Travel - Best Accessories for Vlogging

[@Gemini_Connect]

What is your most-used GoPro mount and why?

[@chrisdrzewiecki]

I just got my first GoPro last week. So till my accessories get here, it's my hands. 😁

[@Gemini_Connect]

@@chrisdrzewiecki nice, that works too 😁

[@yokaju100]

3:45 you can take the top part and is a mini tripod

[@Gemini_Connect]

@@yokaju100 True -- thanks for the tip!

[@180harro]

Which mic are you using in your video with the Joby telepod mobile? Thanks.

[@patrickjones6059]

I got it two weeks ago. I LOVE it!!!!

[@MrsJones-uv1vi]

Have you added the wrist strap yet? If so, how did it work out?

[@RazvanRogozMarketing]

I bought way too many GoPro accessories that I don’t use. I’m sure I could find a use for them, but they do weight something, and I do have to carry them. This is in case of backpacking, with a car would be easier. So my “to-go” kit, my default one is: (1) Joby Gorilapod as a handle, tripod, improvised mount (2) Media Mod - it usually stays off but it has its uses (3) GoPro Light - I have yet to find any real use for it (4) Rode Video Micro - it goes together with the Media Mod for a vlogging set-up, usually off as it adds weight (5) Roll-cage - this is usually on, I’ve broken the screen protector on the 8 already, so a real lens to protect it helps. Plus, it looks cool (6) A third party backpack clip (7) A hat clip (8) Two extra batteries (9) Two or three screws (10) One sticky mount, just in case (11) Bike mount - although I’m using it less and less and just clipping my GoPro to a backpack strap (12) Windbreaker for the Rode (13) Small things like a tripod adapter. It fits all in a medium sized case and they’re light. I do have selfie sticks, I do have 3-ways, but a metal selfie stick is like 350 - 400 grams so I’d rather not carry it. Sure, it could give me a better perspective than the Joby, but for me at least is not worth the effort. So yes, I do love a big GoPro accessory collection - but when hiking or backpacking - carrying an extra 1 KG of stuff over everything else you have is not fun. That’s the reason I stopped traveling with a DSLR to begin with - it’s good to have it but once you add all the lens and the body and the other tools you need, you just end up hating it. So you leave it at home and snap photos with your phone :)

Nice kit! I agree about GoPro accessories being overkill after awhile. We're reaching that point now. We travel with a whole bag full of accessories and almost never open it, lol.

[@Hsen.amore7]

i use joby 3k and 3 way by GoPro a lot. And With your recommendation I’m into The Seeker haha

[@Gemini_Connect]

Same here! Those are the two mounts that I use the most. Isn't that Seeker bag great? It surprised me with all of its handy features.

[@Hsen.amore7]

@@Gemini_Connect i was considering seeker vs daytripper,after watching your video make it easier for me to make the decision, thanks ya. I bought from GoPro.com Singapore 50% off, so it’s all good.

[@Gemini_Connect]

@@Hsen.amore7 Nice, that's a great deal! Hope you enjoy your bag

[@Hsen.amore7]

@@Gemini_Connect for your recommendation which one do you prefer for Vlogging. A6400 and a7m3?

[@Gemini_Connect]

@@Hsen.amore7 Of the two cameras, I'd choose the Sony a6400, mainly due to its smaller size. It will be easier to hold for longer periods of time compared to the bigger and heavier A7iii. Both cameras don't have the best stability, so you may want to use a gimbal with them for smooth, non-shaky footage.

thank you that was really helpful .

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@pakistantravels]

i like your channel and video love it keep it up thank you

[@Delboy0758]

I have recently bought myself go pro 7 Silver and a go pro eight I’ve got one of the clamps and I intend to use that putting it on a shopping trolley that I walk around with I tried it and it seems to be working fine and I get the shots I want I’ve got a gorilla pod which I find very useful as well I’m watching all different videos on KZbin To learn more about them And your videos are really good you say things clearly You’re a good teacher 8

[@Dennis56960]

Love your videos! Thanks for the tips.

[@unboxistic]

2:30 It looks very similar to the GoPro Shorty mount (which I have and it’s super great!) 😃

[@MeMelon4u]

I really like this video,I am new but will make sur to subscribe.

[@BoNiToR92]

How you connect the gopro the joby 3k? There is a Separate thing to to get or It's just simple?

[@Gemini_Connect]

You need a GoPro to 1/4 inch tripod thread adapter.

[@WIgirl26]

I plan on trying to get some under water shots at a spring in Florida and I was considering using the gorilla tripod by placing it on the floor of the spring while recording. So I need it to NOT float. Is this doable with a gorilla tripod? And if not, which stick/tripod/accessory would you recommend for something like what I'm trying to achieve?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Good question -- if you use the Gorillapod to secure the GoPro to something on the bottom of the spring (ie. a heavy rock), I think this could anchor the camera below.

[@zonacamphike2904]

You always have the best and most thorough info! Thank you!

[@Gemini_Connect]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Slamar]

You show new mounts which I don’t know before. Good video that shows the pros and cons of various solutions. I thinking about buying a GoPro media mod But it is a little expensive for me.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Glad to be of help! If I were you, I'd go with the old GoPro mic adapter, Ulanzi cage, and an external mic like the Edutige ETM-001. The more we compare the sound quality of that setup to the Media Mod, the more we dislike the Media Mod.

[@Slamar]

​@@Gemini_Connect thank You for your recommendation 😄 I will think about it. When i summary the price of this items in my country it's almost half of price gopro 8. I only would like to make a videos from holidays. But now I must wait for world tourism get back to normal.

[@Olegvic323]

Hi what JOBY gorilla tripod would you recommend to hold go pro el grande and go pro 8 with the microphone and small light? Thanks

[@Gemini_Connect]

If you plan to fully extend the El Grande, the Gorillapod 5K will give you the most support and stable base.

[@Olegvic323]

Gemini Connect thanks very much!

[@amazingadventures2092]

I recently bought a gopro hero 7 black. I'm started a collection of Gopro accessories lol.

[@Gemini_Connect]

It is so easy to do. We have boxes of little accessories at this point haha!

What’s the name of the Tiniest mount and I can’t find it on Amazon??

[@mastermoarman]

Have you used or would you suggest using a gimble mount?

[@Gemini_Connect]

If you get a GoPro Hero 7 or Hero 8, it comes with Hypersmooth stability that is so good you don't need a gimbal. In fact, I think GoPro has stopped selling the Karma Grip -- their old gimbal.
