GoPro Hero 4 Silver – An Aspiring Technical Pro Users Review

2. Not a bulky camera and could mount in different locations

Go Pros are known for their compactness and multiple accessories.
A few of the accessories I heavily rely on are:

• The 3-way mount – It’s a 3-in-one mount, Grip, Selfie Pole and Mini Tripod stand. – Its a great investment.
• Wall Charger – Shown here is an insignia brand one from best buy, It cost me about $14.00 CAN – was meant to charge tablets but it charges the GoPro just fine.
• Bower Dual Battery Charger – This thing was cheaper than the GoPro Dual battery charger (almost by $25.00) and does the same job. a win in my book. Also purchased from Bestbuy.ca (online)
• Tripod and other misc mounts – the Tripod mount is the “go to” mount for Photographers and anyone who generally wants to make stabilize videos on a tripod. its essential.
• GoPro Lense covers – these came in a pack I think originally for the Hero3 but it also included a protective covering for the back Addon attachment port (where the LCD or Battery Addon would normally plug in). This is a good purchase for those long shooting trips where gear may get bumped around or you cleaned your lenses and then wanted to keep them that way.
• GoPro Goose Neck accessory. – this thing is surprisingly handy when combined with some of the other mounting options available.
• Memory cards – these aren’t accessories they’re essential! The GoPro doesn’t ship with any memory cards. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny getting a high performance memory card to work for all settings in the GoPro. Memory cards shown are a 32 GB and 16 GB Sand Disk Extreme Plus Memory Card. Write Rate is 50 MB/s (that’s MegaBytes)

Also I highly recommend you get yourself a nice case to carry all of this gear in. It helps keep you organized and keep your equipment safe.

I recommend the Nanuk Brand of cases. In Canada you can order them online and receive in a day or so (depending on where you live). I love these cases. Albeit a little expensive, when you consider what the case actually does and how long you will have it for. These Nanuk cases are Water proof  and are made for airline travel as well and have an air equalizer valve in them.
