Best GoPro Mounts & Accessories

If you are planning a trip and you are wondering what kind of cameras you should take along, I would suggest GoPro. It’s pretty simple. I’ve been traveling with a GoPro for years now. I recently upgraded it to the GoPro 7 – and seriously, I love it! If you’re a GoPro lover like me, here are the GoPro mounts and accessories you should get to take epic travel photos.

Before we start, if you’d love to add a tripod or a shameless selfie stick, I’d suggest you read more about the best GoPro sticks. I personally love it so it allows me to take shots of myself while I’m traveling.

 

GoPro Screen Protector

 

Screen protectors are commonly used with phones; However, action cameras like GoPro need to be looked after, too! Traveling comes with many unexpected situations when the camera can be used in various tough conditions. 

Therefore, a reliable screen protector set is one of the best GoPro accessories for travel, which is an inexpensive solution, saving your screen from any scratches and smudges. This specific one from Deyard is only 0,3 mm thick and has 9H hardness of the surface. It comes as a two-pack and it also includes the lens cover. 

Why is this useful? Well – let me give you an example. You set your tripod, and the wind decides to be unfriendly. As you’re trying to take your shot you simply see the tripod (and the camera) fall. I cumulated many scratches on my first GoPro this way.

Waterproof Case for GoPro

 

This case is a part of the GoPro water accessories and it can dive up to 45m underwater! This case is a great option for travelers who love to shoot while snorkeling or surfing and want to keep a camera dry and safe. 

A great feature is that you don’t need to remove the cover lens before the camera is put into housing, making it easy to use. Clear shooting effect and great material are the reasons why go for this case! 

Depending on the GoPro you have, it might come with a waterproof housing already. Although, the recent models won’t allow you to dive at more than 10 metres. That said, you will have to buy a waterproof case.

GoPro Smart Remote

 

Controlling your GoPro remotely from distances of up to 180m couldn’t be easier. This remote is waterproof and wearable, so you can always take it with you and control all the camera functions, including shutter, on/off, and settings. It also comes with a key ring and wrist strap for wearing the remote or attaching it to gear and it enables control of up to 50 cameras at a time. This remote is definitely one of the best GoPro mounts to invest in.

If you’re looking for an alternative, you could also download the GoPro app and use your phone as a remote too. This is a bit more budget-friendly and it does the job too. The only con about this option is that you’ll need to hide your phone if you don’t want to be holding a phone in every single photo.

Jaws Flex Clamp Mount

 

This Jaws Flex has several great features. The gooseneck can be adjusted, so you can shoot from many angles to get the desired shot. The adjustable strap enables a secure grip on irregular shapes of various sizes, so you can clamp it on anything in size from 0.6cm to 5cm in diameter. If you want to shoot a low-profile, you can remove the neck and attach the camera directly to the clamp which is a great feature and makes it stand out from other cool GoPro accessories.

GoPro The Handler Floating Hand Grip

 

The Handler is one of the best GoPro mounts for water sports, keeping your GoPro afloat. With a non-slip grip, it enables to shoot steady shots with control to capture a bunch of different angles. The bright orange end makes it easy to spot it on the surface and a quick release base enables easy switch between mounts. 

I normally always travel with this kind of accessories as it’s very useful for water activities.

Its adjustable straps ensure that it can fit any body shape or size, and it’s easy to put even on the winter jacket. Quick-release J-hook ensures easy positioning and capturing the right angles.

The Ultimate Luxury Safari — Ngala Tented Camp

Image
My African safari in Kruger National Park was one of my absolute favorite travel experiences of recent memory.  A safari, in and of itself, is amazing.  But this one went so far beyond my expectations, it left me reeling. What made it beyond amazing?  Staying at the Ngala Tented Camp of &Beyond Safaris, in the heart of Ngala Private Game Reserve. To start our adventure, we jumped on a charter flight at Johannesburg, making the two-hour flight directly to Ngala. The views over South Africa weren’t bad, either. Soon, we touched down at Ngala — and were welcomed to Ngala Tented Camp, our incredible oasis in the middle of the bush. Luxury in Africa Before arriving, I knew that we would be camping in luxury tents.  As I’ve mentioned here a few times, I’m a lifelong camper from a camping family.  I first went camping at twelve days old.  I took my first steps in a tent. So continuing to camp around the world has been special to me, especially when I ge...
