Try These 5 Underrated GoPro Accessories
By CODY D. CAMPBELL
Metal Case
While GoPro cameras have a sturdy design to withstand your outdoor adventures, they aren’t invincible. A good case will keep them safe from any serious damage.
One of the better options out there is the Gurmoir Metal Case. This durable case protects any GoPro Hero Model 9-12 while leaving battery access and ports available.
Batteries
Running out of energy while on an adventure is the worst, so having extra batteries for your GoPro is necessary. The best choice for backups is Enduro batteries.
They cost the same as regular GoPro batteries and offer the same life capacity, but are much more cold-resistant, withstanding temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
Max Lens Mod
The GoPro Max Lense Mod offers older models a way to enhance image quality by improving two essential visual elements: stability and field of view.
This ultrawide lens increases the camera’s FOV to 155 degrees. The lens also comes with Horizon Lock and Max HyperSmooth features, making it an excellent addition for users.
VXR10 Microphone
For those who want to capture better audio quality when using their GoPro, camera-mounted shotgun microphones, such as the Movo VXR10 Microphone, are available.
The microphone, which draws its power directly from the camera, has a frequency response of 35 Hz to 18 kHz, making it ideal for vlogging and live streaming on the go.
Light Mod
Although GoPros work great in naturally lit settings, they struggle in the dark. Luckily, GoPro makes an official Light Mod explicitly designed for its Hero model cameras.
This camera-mounted accessory has four brightness levels and a built-in rechargeable battery for up to six hours of runtime.
