GoPro HERO action cams are already impressive pieces of equipment. However, if you want to take your device to the next level, you might want to consider buying some GoPro attachments and accessories.

If you want to learn about the best GoPro accessories, keep reading. We're going to look at the must-have GoPro accessories for the HERO5, HERO6, and HERO7.

1. GoPro Super Suit

GoPro devices have fundamentally changed the way amateurs can record videos. Nowhere is that more evident than when shooting video underwater.

Some of the newer GoPro models are natively waterproof. The Fusion is waterproof to five meters, the HERO7, HERO6, HERO5, and HERO4 Session are all waterproof to 10 meters, and the HERO+ can withstand 40 meters.

However, if you want to go deeper, you'll need some extra help. The GoPro Super Suit is the solution. Compatible with the HERO7, HERO6, HERO5, and HERO (2018), the plastic casing lets you dive to 60 meters without damaging your camera.

2. SOONSUN Dive Filters

Let's stick with the underwater theme.

You can't just dunk your GoPro HERO below the waves and expect the video to look as good as above-ground footage. Because red light gets absorbed by the water, your recording will have a blue hue.

If you want your underwater videos and photos to look more natural, you should check out the red SOONSUN Dive Filters. They are one of the best GoPro HERO7 accessories for anyone who spends a lot of time diving and snorkeling.

Note: The SOONSUN Dive Filters are not compatible with the Super Suit, though there are red filters for the Super Suit available if you hunt around.

3. GoPro Dual Battery Charger

If you're planning to spend a significant amount of time recording video on a trip, you need to make sure you have adequate battery power with you. You don't want to miss an awesome shot just because you didn't have enough juice.

The most obvious solution is to buy an extra battery. If you buy the GoPro Dual Battery Charger, you can charge your two batteries at the same when you're back at base. It can charge your batteries using any USB port.

The GoPro Dual Battery Charger works with the HERO5, HERO6, and HERO7 models.

4. TELESIN Baseball Hat Clamp

If you want a mount for your GoPro HERO camera, you have dozens of options available to you. Each is aimed at a different use case.

We think one of the best GoPro mounts for the HERO5, HERO6, and HERO7 is the TELESIN Baseball Hat Clamp.

Sure, it's not as fancy nor as rugged as the more expensive options, but it's a GoPro attachment that's perfect for anyone who wants to record video at a more relaxed pace.

5. Mongoose Capture Helmet

If you need something more robust than a baseball cap, check out the Mongoose Capture Helmet. It's one of the must-have GoPro accessories for anyone who loves recording footage from their mountain biking or quad biking adventures.

Importantly for anyone serious about recording the best possible videos, it offers a 360 degree rotatable mount; you won't need to worry about getting distracted from the trail just to grab some great shots. There are also 15 air vents to help keep you fresh.

6. MOUNTDOG GoPro Accessories Kit

If you want to save some money, you could pick up the MOUNTDOG GoPro Accessories Kit. It provides a range of GoPro mounts, GoPro attachments, and GoPro accessories for the HERO7, HERO6, HERO5, and beyond.

MOUNTDOG makes one of the best GoPro accessory kits available at the moment. It comes with a carrying case, camera case, a suction cup mount, a floating handle grip, a handlebar mount for a bike, and a 360-degree wrist strap, and more.

The trade-off off is the durability; the cheaper products won't be able to withstand as much rugged use as their more expensive counterparts.

7. GoPro Karma Grip

The GoPro Karma Grip is the best gimbal for a HERO7, HERO6, and HERO5. It's also an official GoPro product.

If you have ever suffered shakiness in your videos, this gimbal is the answer. It will make your footage so smooth that you'd never know that you were holding the camera in your hand.

The device ships with a harness for the HERO7, HERO6, and HERO5. If you have a HERO4 or earlier, you will need to buy the harness separately.

You can also manage your camera directly from the GoPro Karma Grip; it has built-in controls on the handle.

8. UBeesize Tripod S

As with the best GoPro mounts, there are dozens of GoPro tripods on the market.

Working out which one is right for you depends on how you plan to use your camera. For example, if you only need to use it on flat surfaces, the official GoPro tripod will suffice. However, we like to recommend products that'll work in a variety of situations. Thus, the UBeesize Tripod S is our top pick.

The tripod has flexible legs, which means you can set it up on rocks, beaches, walls, and other uneven surfaces but still record a video that's level on the horizontal plane.

The UBeesize Tripod S also works with phones and other video-capture devices, which is always useful.

9. Sabrent Jaws Flex Clamp

A sturdy flex clamp lets you set up your GoPro HERO7 in areas that otherwise might not be accessible. As such, the Sabrent Jaws Flex Clamp is one of the best GoPro attachments for rock climbers and other similar disciplines.

The clamp has an adjustable neck, meaning you can twist and rotate your GoPro HERO until you find the perfect shooting angle.

10. Foretoo Selfie Stick

No list of the best GoPro HERO accessories would be complete without the ubiquitous selfie stick.

The reasonably-priced Foretoo Selfie Stick is waterproof, can resist wind speeds of up to 40 knots, and extends up to 19 inches.

There's also a wrist strap. It's an essential feature if you're planning to shoot and record selfies in risky places; you don't want accidentally lose a $400 action camera.

11. GoPro Chest Mount Harness

If you've ever seen a GoPro mountain bike or ski video, there's a good chance it was filmed using a chest harness. It mounts the GoPro on your chest instead of on your helmet, bike, or elsewhere. And while you can find cheaper mounts, the GoPro Chest Mount Harness is the industry standard.

The front plate is made of very solid plastic and the straps are adjustable. No matter how big or small you are, this will work for you. And it comes with a mounting bracket that lets you easily adjust the angle of the camera.

12. TurnsPro Time-Lapse Camera Mount

Want to make epic time-lapse photos and videos? The TurnsPro Time-Lapse Camera Mount will help you do it. Just mount your GoPro (or your DSLR or smartphone), set the amount of time you want the mount to turn, and let it go. The built-in motor will slowly turn the base over the specified period of time.

The fact that you can use the mount with so many different cameras makes it versatile, and the reasonable price point---compared to similar mounts---means you can start taking awesome time-lapse panoramas without breaking the bank.
