Best GOPRO (2025): compressed, budget, accessories

Comparison of GoPro Hero Top 3

Gopros to avoid

GoPro does not sell anything older than Hero 12, but there is a lot of Hero 11s and even Hero 10s for sale online. We suggest avoiding them. It may work well, but the modern accessories designed for subsequent models will not work, and these cameras are likely to be through Wringer. (They are work cameras, after all.)

What about GoPro Max?

What most people call “GoPro” is actually Hero Black. Gopro makes some other cameras as well, most notably the maximum. Max is the GoPro at three cameras in one. It can shoot 360 shots and video similar to the hero, and works as a blogger. Although the 360 ​​-degree time interval feature is great, the sound is very good, some time has passed since its GoPro, and there there is there The best 360 cameras. Our best selection is Insta360’s x5. Gopro Max may be more durable, but almost all of the time X5 is better. We hope that GoPro will update the maximum in 2025.

Best GoPro accessories

Should you buy a package? Generally, I say no. Get the camera, discover it, and see how you end up using it. When you find yourself trying to solve a problem, start searching for an accessory. Here are some of the favorite things that you have experienced and used, but if you have a favorites you think I should try, then drop a comment below.

Good MicroSD Card for $ 60: According to GOPRO recommendationsYou want a MicroSD card with a V30 or UH-3 classification. However, GoPros can be difficult about SD cards. I had good luck, recommended, Samsung associated here. Another card I used widely is Mandisk Extreme Pro.

Gopro Media Mod for $ 80To a large extent, my most used accessories, Media Mod adds some of the largest part, but in most cases this is more than it is composed by the fact that you can connect a real microphone (use it with Wireless). The sound quality is radically improved with this one. This may be less necessary if you get the 12th champion or at a later time, because these models have support for Bluetooth microphones.

Gopro Handlebar Mountain for $ 40I was doing a lot of riding recently and this mountain is largely lived on my bike these days. The rocks were solid in my tests, and surpassed any of the third -party holders that I tested.

GoPro Mountains for $ 30: Unless you have Hero 12 or 13, which contains a compact triple holder, you will need a few of them to install your GoPro to a traibod like GorillaPod above.

Gopro Floaty for $ 35: If you approach water near the water, take one of these. Believe me, you will drop your GoPro and when you do, it will be happy to have this (unless the water is clear and you are good diver.) GoPro also Floating hand grip ($ 23)and Which not only floats, but has a diving or surfing wheel.

Gopro Selfie Stick for $ 80: This 48 -inch extension pole collapses amazing, not very heavy. It is the best personal stick I used. I rarely use it in selfies, but it makes Monopod great on soft ground, such as the sandy beach.

Davinci Resolution for $ 300This is my favorite video editing program. There is a free version, but I am tired of converting the media to suit the free version restrictions. The best money you have spent at all when it comes to making better videos.
