The GoPro Hero4 Session is one of the hottest action cameras right now, so we’ve put together a selection of our favourite GoPro accessories. From filters to mounts, there’s plenty here to help you get the most out of your camera, and capture the best possible footage no matter what you’re doing. Let’s get right into it!
PolarPro Snorkel Filter
Our first recommended accessory is a must-have for shooting underwater. This snorkel filter colour-corrects your footage, improving upon the Session’s poor auto white balance feature which left most images looking two blue or green. You can snap on the filter in seconds, and its tiny dimensions ensure you can easily keep it in a bag or pocket when not in use. The filter also adds another layer of protection to your lens, preventing scratches and maintaining full optical clarity thanks to the high quality glass used in its construction.
GoPole Scenelapse 360 Degree Time-Lapse Mount
This helpful mount allows you to create lush 360-degree timelapses, giving you a unique way to capture what an area looks like over a period of time. Whether you’re hiking in the wilderness or sharing a unique metropolitan viewpoint, you’ll be able to produce a gorgeous timelapse video with minimal effort. Just pop your GoPro onto the timelapse mount, then the mount onto any 1/4″ tripod. Set up the speed and duration of the rotation, hit record and you’re away.
PolarPro ProGrip 4 in 1 Floating Remote Grip
This is the most advanced grip for the GoPro yet available, boasting four unique features. It includes dry storage for two batteries, it floats in water so you won’t lose it, and it has a compartment for the GoPro remote to keep that safe and accessible. Of course, it also operates like a selfie stick, allowing you to get a wider-angle view of your surroundings.
SP Gadgets Bottle Mount
This one’s cool. This bottle mount allows you to turn the ubiquitous plastic bottle into a handy floating mount for your GoPro. Just attach your GoPro to the mount, screw the high-visibility mount onto your bottle, and you’re ready to go. When you’re finished, recycle your bottle and stick the bottle mount back on your key ring — job done.
PolarPro Backpack Strap Mount
This backpack strap mount is one of the best ways of getting a GoPro camera on your person. Whether it’s on your backpack, your surf board or your safety harness, you’ll be able to capture unbelievable views while your GoPro remains safely mounted and pointed at the action. There’s even a quick release system that lets you attach the GoPro to other mounts or review your footage, then snap it back into place without any tightening or loosening.
PolarPro Polarizer Filter
We started with a filter, and we’re going to end with a filter too. This Session filter is a polariser, designed to reduce glare and reflections, leaving behind beautiful saturated colours. It’s brilliant for reducing the excessive brightness of snow and water, and its snap-on design ensures it’s always ready when you need it. Like the other filter we looked at earlier, the polarising filter is made from real glass, so you get perfect optical clarity and a scratch-resistant design.
