If you are planning a trip and you are wondering what kind of cameras you should take along, I would suggest GoPro. It’s pretty simple. I’ve been traveling with a GoPro for years now. I recently upgraded it to the GoPro 7 – and seriously, I love it! If you’re a GoPro lover like me, here are the GoPro mounts and accessories you should get to take epic travel photos.
Before we start, if you’d love to add a tripod or a shameless selfie stick, I’d suggest you read more about the best GoPro sticks. I personally love it so it allows me to take shots of myself while I’m traveling.
GoPro Smart Remote
Controlling your GoPro remotely from distances of up to 180m couldn’t be easier. This remote is waterproof and wearable, so you can always take it with you and control all the camera functions, including shutter, on/off, and settings. It also comes with a key ring and wrist strap for wearing the remote or attaching it to gear and it enables control of up to 50 cameras at a time. This remote is definitely one of the best GoPro mounts to invest in.
If you’re looking for an alternative, you could also download the GoPro app and use your phone as a remote too. This is a bit more budget-friendly and it does the job too. The only con about this option is that you’ll need to hide your phone if you don’t want to be holding a phone in every single photo.
Jaws Flex Clamp Mount
This Jaws Flex has several great features. The gooseneck can be adjusted, so you can shoot from many angles to get the desired shot. The adjustable strap enables a secure grip on irregular shapes of various sizes, so you can clamp it on anything in size from 0.6cm to 5cm in diameter. If you want to shoot a low-profile, you can remove the neck and attach the camera directly to the clamp which is a great feature and makes it stand out from other cool GoPro accessories.
GoPro The Handler Floating Hand Grip
The Handler is one of the best GoPro mounts for water sports, keeping your GoPro afloat. With a non-slip grip, it enables to shoot steady shots with control to capture a bunch of different angles. The bright orange end makes it easy to spot it on the surface and a quick release base enables easy switch between mounts.
I normally always travel with this kind of accessories as it’s very useful for water activities.

A fully adjustable head strap and clip for a quick attachment to caps or belts are just some of the features of this GoPro mount. It can be strapped directly to your head but also helmet making it multifunction gear for any hands-free activities.
