GoPro: The best accessory for the action cam

Housing for the GoPro

Every GoPro comes with a housing that protects the camera. However, it is open in some places - for example on the lens and the connections.

Waterproof: The new GoPro Hero 3 already has a waterproof housing. Older GoPros can also be equipped with one. The diving case costs 60 euros and is waterproof to a depth of 60 meters.
3D recordings: With the 3D Hero System you can record in 3D using two GoPros. It is a housing that fixes the two cameras side by side and lets them be captured by a special lens. The two cameras can be connected with a synchronization cable so that they record in parallel. Using free software, you can create the 3D video on the computer. The fun currently costs over 90 euros and is only compatible with the GoPro 1 and 2.

Headband: The headband can be adjusted to any size. However, it should only be used if you are not moving too much. The tape is too weak for fast movements.
Chest strap: With the chest strap, you can position the camera at the level of your belly - perfect for taking pictures from halfway up in open terrain. The belt is even available for children here.
Bracelet housing. So that you don't have to hold your GoPro in your hand, you can attach it to your wrist or arm. The equipment is also available for the older GoPros.
Surfboard mounts: GoPro does not disappoint surfers either. With the bracket you can also mount the camera in damp or wet places.
Flex clamp: You can use the clamp in a variety of ways. It is compatible with every GoPro. The orientation is very variable due to the movable arm.
Tripod mounts: This gives you an adapter that is compatible with any tripod. So the GoPro can be safely and firmly placed in one place.
Helmet holder: There is also a special holder for helmets. It mainly consists of straps that are stretched over the helmet. The seat is relatively firm and secure.

Lens protection + covers: For 25 euros you get numerous covers and a protective lens. This is how you can protect the camera. The protective lens is particularly recommended if you are not using a completely closed cover: the lens is extremely sensitive and must not be damaged under any circumstances.
Anti-fog protection inserts: With these small plates you can subsequently close a closed housing. That doesn't make it waterproof. However, hardly any or no moisture penetrates the camera. It does not fog up in humid air. The plates are compatible with any housing and cost 20 euros. These are also much cheaper on Amazon.
Floaty Backdoor: To prevent your GoPro from going down in the water, you can get an attachment for 25 euros, which is mounted on the back of the housing. The attachment is red and therefore easy to see on the water. This product is also available as a replica for only 10 euros on Amazon.
Wi-Fi Remote: With this small remote control you can control your GoPro remotely. This way the camera can be switched on and off remotely, recordings can be started and stopped and further settings can be made. For older GoPro versions, the combination of Wi-Fi Remote and a housing that extends the camera by WLAN is recommended. You can find it here.
