now that you've gotten your new gopro hero 10 and you've learned how to navigate it correctly
the next thing that's probably on your mind because it was on my mind when i first
got my gopro was what accessories do i need as a brand new gopro user to actually get the most
out of my gopro hello i am Wanderer001 and this is really a short list of accessories
that i purchased for myself for the gopro hero 10 considering that this was my first
actual gopro ever i needed to kind of round out my accessories for it so i figured i would share with
you the accessories that i thought first and foremost i should get to make the utilization
of my gopro hero 10 all that better as with any electronic device having spare batteries is key
the gopro itself only comes with one battery so first off get yourself a spare battery
sold separately and then get yourself the dual charger that comes with the charger
and an extra battery that will give you a set of two extra batteries giving you three batteries in
total for me that's kind of my sweet spot i will always have one in the camera if two are dead
they're charging i'll have the one in the camera and then i swap them out until i'm left with two
dead and then charge them again the charger itself comes with a usb c cable but no wall wart so you
will need to have another wall charging device to plug it into and here you can see they just sit
very easily you find your metal piece there metal piece there and then you place it on the charger
it is kept in place through pressure and then you have two leds at the top here that will go
glow green once your batteries are fully charged so that is always first and foremost for me extra
batteries when you're getting an electronic device or a camera in this case next if you're getting
a camera well you're gonna want one some way to hold that if you don't plan on holding your
gopro like this the entire time you're going to want to get something to actually attach it
to in this case gopro starts coming out with some interesting product names but this is their shorty
tripod it is a compact plastic tripod that allows you to mount your gopro using the included
system by simply unscrewing one portion
slipping your gopro into place and then tightening down your screw which is much easier to do when
you're not trying to do it around a camera but you tighten down your screw and that will hold the
gopro in place and it is important to be able to hold your gopro in a variety of different
manners so the shorty actually helps with that instead of having to grip it on the sides one
other trick that the shorty has is it actually is a telescoping tripod so when it is in its collapse
form and you only have the feet you're looking at 4.6 inches when fully extended you're looking
at a tripod that is a full 8.9 inches in length so almost 9 inches the plastic itself as you can
see does get a little sweaty but it is lightweight enough and grippy enough that you can use this for
i'm going to say 90 percent of what you're going to use your gopro for especially if you're just
interested in setting up those nice cool shots really quickly if you've got your gopro already
attached to it and you're using it that way as a selfie stick you can just flip your feet out and
you're good to go really quickly the one problem is when you have it attached to your shorty
it becomes much trickier to use some of the other gopro options that i would recommend checking out
next of which is the chesty and this is going to be the gopro mount that you use when you're
trying to get a pov of something whether you're biking or using a snowblower and filming it for
youtube you're going to use something like this the chesty itself is elastic and fits around most
bodies it is adjustable the back of it is mesh and padded so it is breathable and quite comfortable
but you'll notice that the front plate here is a little different than what you had with the
shorty in that now you have gopro's more universal clip mount here so this flips up and this is
actually like a pinching buckle style so if we take and we slide that in here you hear it clip
into click into place and now we flip down the little rubber toggle here and this is mounted onto
your chesty again you simply unscrew the tension screw and you have your gopro hero 10 right here
which you can then slide into place much easier than you could with the shorty and then you screw
it into place benefit of this style is if i needed to use a different gopro mount i could
simply remove this portion here and move it to another gopro mount what i'll show you by that is
chesty good for your no your pov everyday stuff we'll flip this over here and show you
the aptly named handler which is a different style gopro stick compared to the shorty but the reason
i left the gopro here on this is because the handler here uses the same style mounting as
the chesty slips into place and there you go you would just adjust the positioning of your gopro
and yes that's not really going to get anything but it's a faster mounting style than you do with
the shorty stick so just be aware again of what your plan is filming wise before getting things
that i'm talking about now the handler here is a case in point because this is definitely meant for
people who are going to be using the gopro in or around water the handler here has a very thick
foamy grip to it and a place that you can wrap this around your hand so that if you're not using
the gopro it dangles off if for whatever reason the gopro as long as it's on the handler and
properly secured falls into the water the handler will actually float and has the big orange top to
it so as the gopro is floating upside down because the camera will be heavier than this
you can easily spot the top of the handler the handler itself is seven inches in length so it
does give you a quite a bit of versatility where and how you'd like to grab it you will notice that
it does have this semi kind of angled top to it so you will have to adjust accordingly depending
on how you're holding it the back of it is kind of flat so your thumb can kind of rest there fairly
easily and i myself don't go out in the water all that much but i wanted the option to if i did go
and use my gopro anywhere in the water i wanted it mounted to something so that i would not lose
it because it's an expensive piece of equipment as you know so if you're filming around water
definitely want to consider getting the handler last but not least is the gopro camera media mod
now this is not going to be something that is for everybody this is for a person with a specific use
case and that specific use case is you are going to forego some of the waterproof capabilities of
your gopro hero 10 in order to get better audio quality as you can see right there there is a usbc
connector and that usbc connector connects inside the gopro which is which has the charging usbc
so in order to use the media mod here you will have to remove the door from the gopro hero 10
but what that will allow you to do is plug in and access the built-in front and rear facing audio
of the media mod notice you do have you do have the power button and the
quick shot button as well as two sets of cold shoes one on the top one on the side but part
of the reason that that's plugging directly into your gopro is well one if you don't really care
for the audio that you get from this you have the ability to flip open the doors here and there you
go if if you have a microphone such as i'm using right now like a lavi lavalier mic you can plug
it right in or let's say you've got a microphone that uses usbc you could plug that in right there
or right up at the top you've got mini usb not micro usb which i thought was a little odd
but not only do you have the ability to select a different microphone should you choose the
built-in microphone also does come with a windsock that you can kind of put right on there to help
dampen any wind that you might get in your shot you'll notice that the bottom of the media mod
is open so that you can still use the built-in feet of your gopro hero 10 when using the media
mod there are handles that you'll still be able to use with this and other mounts just know because
this door is plugged directly into the door of the gopro hero 10 you're not going to be
getting the complete waterproof housing that you get when the gopro is in its natural state this
is very water resistant but does take away the waterproofing of your gopro that's why i'm saying
you are sacrificing some of the capabilities of it to get better audio and there are people out there
who want to use the gopro hero 10 as their primary vlogging camera and this would be something that
you can consider as i said before this is just a selection of the mounts that i thought would be
useful for me with the gopro hero 10 as i said my first time with a gopro i figured this smattering
should get me most of the shots that i would want using the gopro hero 10. if there is a mount or
other option that you think i missed or should have checked out let me know in the comments
section below likewise if you're like me and this is your first gopro device let me know what
mounting options you decided to go with over something that i have or if you're a gopro
veteran watching this let me know again something that i probably should pick up because it'll make
my filming much easier with the gopro hero 10. with that being said i have been Wanderer001
