GoPro accessory must haves...

[ldyzluvdis06]

just picked up my first GoPro, ended up getting a hero4 Black edition plus a generic mount kit as a package deal on ebay for $230. it comes with a generic suction cup mount, but im feeling kind of sketchy about using that one and losing the camera on the road, has anyone else ran the generic suction mount?

also, what are some must have accessories for it? i've already downloaded the app, so i dont need the screen/remote, but i didn't know about spare batteries or "must have" mounts to buy.

as for sd cards, is there really a difference between the expensive ones and the cheap ones?

thanks in advance.

I have a generic suction cup one and it SUCKS.

SD cards - Get a class 10.

A carrying case is a good thing to have as well, extra battery, one suction cup mount, etc.

I have a good suction cup mount and it would pull my hood off my car before it came off. I bought a geekpro that does HD and it's awesome. All of them share the same mounts as GoPro too so you can use the Geekpro mounts with the GoPro. Super cheap and "disposable" so I can put it by the brakes and suspension, so if something happens, it's not the end of the world.

Extra batteries, you're gonna need them

I like the GoPro brand suction cup, I've had it well over 100mph on the front and back of the Moostang without any hints of falling off.

I use the wasabi brand batteries. No problems.

Gopro stuff is expensive, but like mentioned, the suction cup is worth the money. You can go elsewhere for other things. If you have any stick on mounts, don't use anything but 3m, otherwise it WILL come off.

Batteries, suction cup mount, multiple SD cards, extra 3m stick pads, and I personally like having a floating handle for mine.

Target was just selling GoPro bacpacs for half off. I bought two. Battery life is garbage with wifi enabled for viewing Inn the app.

go pro suction cup. I ordered the wasabi batteries from amazon.
2 batteries and a 3 battery charger = 25 bucks.

I bought a 25 dollar accessory kit from amazon... not sure how much I will use.

Appreciate the feedback guys. I'll pick up a gopro suction mount, some batteries, and try to find a good deal on a good memory card.
