Het recht GoPro accessoires don’t just add features — they change what you can actually shoot. A chest mount means your hands stay free on a ski slope. A flexible tripod means you can mount your camera on a tree branch or fence post in seconds. Here’s what actually gets used regularly for travel, sports, and vlogging.

A borstmontage is the most useful hands-free GoPro accessory because it captures a natural first-person perspective while keeping your hands completely free. For skiing, surfing, snowboarding, or any activity where you’re moving and don’t want to think about framing — just mount it, start recording, and focus on what you’re doing. Chest mounts are straps that go around your torso and typically include a standard GoPro mount point on the chest plate.
A helmbevestiging gives you a slightly higher, more forward-facing perspective — good for cycling, skiing, or motorcycle riding. A polsbevestiging is the same strap idea but worn on the wrist or forearm, giving you a lower, more dynamic angle. Both come as simple straps with a GoPro-compatible mount point.
For bikes specifically, a bar mount clamps directly onto the handlebars and holds the GoPro securely at a forward-facing angle — stable enough for trail riding and mountain biking.

A standard tripod with a GoPro adapter is essential for time-lapses, self-recording, or any shot where you need the camera completely still. The GoPro screw thread is a standard ¼-20 thread, so any tripod with a standard head works with a simple adapter.
The accessory that gets used most for creative shots is a flexibel statief — specifically the Joby GorillaPod. Its flexible legs wrap around tree branches, fence posts, poles, or anything cylindrical, which opens up shot angles that a standard tripod can’t reach. Joby makes GoPro-compatible versions, and they’re one of the most genuinely useful purchases for travel shooting.
Combining a selfie stick with a tripod base gives you adjustable height for solo vlogging — extend it for eye-level shots, collapse it for low-angle perspectives. GoPro-compatible selfie sticks with tripod feet are widely available on Amazon.
GoPro Media Mod and Volta: The Most Useful Add-Ons for Vloggers
- Ingebouwde directionele microfoon benadrukt stemgeluid en vermindert omgevingsgeluid
- Stevige, weerbestendige constructie is bestand tegen de elementen
- 2 koudschoenhouders om uw favoriete lampen, microfoons of LCD-schermen te bevestigen
De GoPro Media Mod clips onto the camera and adds ports that the standard GoPro lacks: an HDMI output for connecting to a monitor or TV, a 3.5mm audio jack for an external microphone, USB-C, and a directional microphone on the front. For vlogging, the directional mic is the biggest win — it focuses on audio from in front of the camera and reduces ambient noise from the sides. It also lets you choose which microphone to use from the GoPro settings menu (front, rear, or both).
De GoPro Volta serves two functions in one: it’s a battery grip that charges your GoPro via USB-C, and it’s a Bluetooth remote with physical buttons for starting/stopping recording and switching modes — without touching the camera. The Volta also comes as part of GoPro’s Creator Bundle if you want the full vlogging kit in one purchase.
GoPro LED Light
GoPro's LED light accessory clips onto the Media Mod or camera frame and provides fill light in dark environments. It won’t light up a large room, but for indoor vlogging, dim restaurants, or evening outdoor content, it adds enough light to make footage significantly cleaner. It’s a useful addition if you regularly shoot in lower-light situations.
For tips on using all of these accessories effectively with the Hero 13, the GoPro Hero 13 tutorial covers camera settings and workflow from setup through editing.
The standard GoPro Hero 13 box includes the camera, one battery, a USB-C charging cable, and fold-out finger mounts. The magnetic mount, Media Mod, Volta, and all other accessories are sold separately. The Creator Bundle includes the Volta and Media Mod.
The GoPro Media Mod adds an HDMI output, 3.5mm audio jack for external microphones, USB-C port, and a directional microphone to your GoPro. It’s most useful for vlogging — the directional mic improves audio quality significantly compared to the built-in microphone.
The GoPro Volta is a battery grip accessory that charges your GoPro via USB-C while you shoot, and includes physical Bluetooth-connected buttons to control recording and mode switching without touching the camera. It also comes included in GoPro’s Creator Bundle.
Most GoPro mounts, cases, and accessories are compatible across Hero 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 models — they share the same form factor. The Media Mod and Volta are designed for specific generations, so check compatibility before purchasing if you’re using an older model.
