Product Information

Because a GoPro has to be small, and do a lot of computing work to process stable video, it does use battery faster than a big camera. That's why it's important to keep more than one if you're looking to capture a day (or more). Why are there so many GoPro accessories? The Media Mod also adds a number of connections for those that desire them, including two cold-shoe mounts, micro-HDMI, USB-C, and 3.5mm microphone port, eliminating the need for the previous necessary audio dongle. Whether you want to use GoPro’s other products, the Media Mod adds a platform to connect multiple items including the company’s Lighting Mod and Display Mod — both of which are also in our list of the best GoPro accessories — and gives a convenient place to mount them.

Coming from a little-known Chinese brand, the INKEE Falcon is one of the few handheld gimbals that is specifically designed for use with action cameras. Other non-essential but nice new features are its angled arm and additional thread needle on the side of the grip. The angled arm makes it so that the arm rarely obstructs the GoPro’s LCD screen. The first problem is the size of the grip. It’s too small! I don’t even have big hands for a guy and it feels awkward to hold. Now you can attach the bundled tripod and close the legs to make it act as a grip extension, but it is still pretty uncomfortable to use. For that reason, I would argue a gimbal is no longer an essential accessory if you’re using a recent model like the GoPro 10, 11, or 12. You can always get the GoPro Volta official accessory if you just want a better handheld shooting experience (among other perks, like battery life and using it as a tripod). The GoPro Volta is recommended as a handheld shooting grip if you are satisfied with HyperSmooth stabilization results

The best GoPro accessories you can buy in 2023

The Feiyu WG2X supports the GoPro HERO8, HERO7 (all models), HERO6, HERO5, HERO4 as well as the HERO Session via the included Session mount adaptor. With a GoPro HERO10/HERO9 adapter kit it can stabilize these newer GoPros, but it will not be able to establish a remote connection to them.

Included in the box is a small tripod. When you close the legs of the tripod, it essentially becomes a grip of its own meaning you can use the WG2X as a handheld gimbal. What I Didn’t LikeAfter a microSD card and spare batteries, choosing the best GoPro accessories entirely depends upon what you plan to do with it. You'll probably want a good selection of mounts and adapters, so you can attach the camera to your bike or whatever.

Performance wise, the Removu S1 delivers very smooth footage. It isn’t quite as smooth as the Karma Grip or G6, but it’s definitely one of the better stabilizers out there. What I Didn’t Like If you limit yourself to dedicated GoPro gimbals, there aren’t many recent options other than the two gimbals above. The Feiyu WG2X is an update of the well-received WG2 wearable gimbal. Although on the surface they appear very similar, the WG2X has improved stabilization performance, an angled gimbal arm and the ability to control it remotely.Unlike the WG2 which was rated IP67 waterproof, the WG2X is merely splashproof and is therefore less water-resistant. It is fine for use in light rain, but attempting to use the gimbal in watersports will most likely result in motor damage.
