One of the best features of a GoPro is its portability and its functionality as a still camera and video camera is off the charts.
But if you want to extract every ounce of potential out of your GoPro, you need to add a few accessories to your GoPro kit.
This list offers a look at some of the best GoPro accessories you can get your hands on in 2019.
Best GoPro Accessories - Spare Batteries
When you're out adventuring and filming for hours on end, the batteries in your GoPro drain rather quickly.
Thus the need for a spare battery...
Actually, pick up a couple of spare batteries so you're never without juice!

Best GoPro Accessories - HandlePod 3-Axis Action Cam Mount
The great thing about the HandlePod 3-Axis Action Cam Mount is that you can use it in a variety of ways, depending on what the situation calls for.
It's a fantastic grip for shooting handheld video, but it also deploys as a stand to act like a mini tripod (as shown above). It even comes with an elastic cord for lashing it to objects like trees or fenceposts.
So whether you're indoors or out, stationary or on the move, the HandlePod can help you get steady and stable video with your GoPro.

Best GoPro Accessories - Litra Torch LitraPro
One of the keys to making great videos is having great lighting, and when it comes to that, look no further than the Litra Torch LitraPro.
This little guy has 60 LEDs that put out 1200 lumens of light. Not only that, but the light is bi-color and adjustable from 3000 to 6000 Kelvin.
It's only 2.75 x 2 x 1.2 inches and weighs just 6 ounces, too, so it's a perfect accessory for a GoPro!

Best GoPro Accessories - RODE VideoMicro
Alongside great lighting, you need great audio to really make your GoPro videos shine.
There's no better accessory to do that than the RODE VideoMicro.
This tiny shotgun mic is compact and lightweight, yet the quality of the audio it records is clear and crisp. Often, when you're out shooting, there's a ton of peripheral noise, but with this little gadget's directional mic, you'll get the focused audio you want from your primary subject.

Best GoPro Accessories - GoPro Suction Cup Mount
Having a suction cup allows you to place your GoPro on all sorts of surfaces, like your car or boat.

Best GoPro Accessories - GoPro Floating Hand Grip
If you plan to spend any time in the water with your GoPro, a floating hand grip like the one shown above is a must-have.

Best GoPro Accessories - GoPro Pro 3.5mm Microphone Adapter
A downer about the GoPro is that you have to have one of these adapters if you want to use an external mic.
And as I mentioned earlier, you need an external mic to get good audio.
So, this is a must-have accessory not because it's especially cool, but you really can't create videos with epic sound without one!

BEST GOPRO ACCESSORIES - GOPRO DUAL BATTERY CHARGER
Having a spare battery isn't good enough. Instead, you need a quick charger so you can keep your batteries charged up and ready to rock.
