For a look at some great camera options regardless of brand, our best action camera roundup collects some of the hottest current models, or read on for our picks of the best GoPro accessories. Having any kind of grip makes for noticeably smoother video than trying to shoot handheld, but this one comes into its own when you’re near — or in — the ocean. A non-slip foam handle helps keep the grip in your hand even when wet, but if you do happen to drop it, positive buoyancy ensures it’ll pop back up to the surface rather than disappearing into the depths. The bright orange cap on the bottom makes it easy to see, even in murky or rough water. There’s also a strong, dependable wrist strap for extra security. Whether you’re snorkeling, wakeboarding or just heading out for a day on the water, it’s worth taking The Handler with you. It works to a depth of 33 feet and is compatible with all GoPro models. Competitively priced and built with a rugged metal design, as well as water-resistance, the Feiyu G5 V2 is a solid piece of equipment that lasts up to eight hours on a single charge. It can hold most versions of either the Hero or Session GoPro cameras, and turns even the jerkiest of footage into something far more watchable. In a nice touch, you can even charge your camera directly from the gimbal’s own battery if needed. A four-way joystick on the handle lets you control the gimbal’s movement, while the function button alongside controls almost everything else. There’s also a self-timer button, for those all-important selfies. The companion smartphone app acts as a remote control and adjusts the panning speed. The gimbal ships with a tripod, along with a neoprene case to protect it while not in use. The adhesive is seriously strong, which it needs to be since you’re relying on this mount to stop your expensive camera from disappearing into the ocean in big surf. Fortunately, a secondary tether is included along with the mount for extra peace of mind. While the company markets this at surfers, the mount is equally useful for shooting video from kayaks, stand-up paddleboards or even the deck of a boat. As long as you’re mounting it on a clean, flat, hard surface, you’re good to go. It’s compatible with all GoPro camera models. In its standard configuration, it’s a multi-jointed extension and the extra flexibility and length giving more options for interesting shots. The handle can also be removed from the rest of the extension, letting you use it as a short grip to add stability to handheld shots. Finally, inside the handle sits a small removable tripod, ideal for time lapses and low-light shooting. You can either use it by itself or attached to the handle to give the camera extra height. It’s water-resistant, so it can be used in the ocean as long as you remember to rinse it thoroughly in fresh water afterward. There’s even an attachment point for a lanyard at the bottom, so it won’t sink into the depths if you drop it. This official charger ships with one or two extra batteries, and can power them both up at the same time. When plugged into a standard USB socket on a laptop or portable battery, you can expect to charge two batteries back to full capacity in about three hours. If that seems too long, you’ll get faster-charging speeds (under 90 minutes) if you connect it to the company’s higher-powered SuperCharger that plugs into a wall outlet. It could do with a longer cable, but other than that, there’s little to complain about. The GoPro dual battery charger is compatible with all original and third-party batteries for the GoPro Hero 5 and 6 Black models, as well as the Hero 2018. PolarPro’s Aqua filters are designed specifically for the official SuperSuit housing for Hero 5 and 6 models. Pressing into place over the front of the housing, the filter can be swapped in and out in a matter of seconds. The pack includes a red filter for diving in tropical and blue waters, a magenta filter to compensate for water with a greenish tinge, as well as a snorkeling-specific version for taking shots at shallower depths (2 to 20 feet). Two mounting pads are included in the pack and can be attached pretty much anywhere you like on your helmet. Regardless of where you stick them, the strong adhesive keeps everything locked solidly in place through all the jumps and bumps. The swivel mount can be adjusted and rotated to almost any filming angle, even with the camera attached. Using the standard GoPro mounting buckle, attaching and removing the camera only takes a few seconds. Compatible with all GoPro models, this helmet mount is an inexpensive and versatile way of getting great action footage. In that size, the case has dedicated cut-outs in its EVA foam for a single GoPro camera (any model), plus things such as memory cards, spare batteries and the like. There’s also a larger section for mounts and housings, as well as a mesh compartment in the lid to store cables and other small accessories. Measuring a compact 9 x 7 x 2.5 inches, the case slides easily into a day bag or carry-on and makes for a low-cost way of storing and protecting your GoPro gear.
