So you’ve just purchased a new GoPro Hero11 Black. You will have more fun with your new GoPro Camera with the right accessories. So what are the best GoPro Accessories for your new GoPro Hero11 Black?

GoPro Creator Edition

Let me start by saying that the best accessories are contained in the GoPro Hero11 Black Creator Edition. Not only does the Creator Edition contain the best GoPro Accessories, but you also get them for a heavily discounted price.

However, if you purchased the bare-bones camera without the Creator Edition, it’s not all doom and gloom, because you can still purchase all the components separately. Here’s what you get in the GoPro Creator Edition:

Volta Hand Grip

The Volta Hand Grip comes with so many features, it is a vlogger’s best friend. Here are the main features, all of which are invaluable:

  • Integrated 4,900mAh battery – charges your GoPro Enduro Battery 2.8 times.
  • Built-in tripod
  • Integrated buttons for controlling the GoPro camera
  • Wireless camera controls
  • Extra mounts for other camera accessories

The Volta is a fully functional and versatile hand grip/tripod combo, hard to live without once you’ve used it.

Media Mod

The Media Mod is a clever housing for your GoPro Hero Camera, which also has some clever features that will be impossible to live without once you have tried them.

  • Integrated shotgun microphone with forwards or backward direction.
  • 2 hot shoes to mount an even better quality shotgun microphone if desired.
  • 3.5 mm input port allows you to use external microphones without an adaptor.
  • HDMI out port to play your footage on a big screen.

Lighting Mod

The Light Mod is a small LED lighting unit with a rechargeable battery, which mounts directly to the Media Mod via a hot shoe. Now you can do low-light or nighttime videos without too much trouble.

Other GoPro Accessories

There are 3 essential families of GoPro Accessories, and GoPro has some amazing solutions for each one:

  • Mounting/tripods/selfie sticks
  • Audio
  • Power

Here’s what we reckon you absolutely need for your GoPro Hero11 Black.

Mounting Accessories

3 Way 2.0

The original 3 Way was fantastic, but a little bit limited on the head adjustment. Problem solved with 3 Way 2.0 because your camera is now mounted via a ball joint gimbal attachment, so you have full 360-degree rotation for full versatility.

3 Way 2.0 has you covered with a versatile tripod attachment as well. And you can have the tripod set up with the full 50cm extension – brilliant!

Jaws

Jaws is a super handy clamp that will attach your GoPro to virtually anything up to 5cm in thickness. And the removable Jaws neck allows you to move your GoPro Action Camera to pretty much any position that suits you.

Chest Harness

The old Chesty is a brilliant way to get POV shooting (from your perspective). Use the fantastic updated Chest Harness for hiking, riding, skiing, snowboarding, or virtually any action activity you can come up with.

Action Mounts

You should definitely add one or 2 action mounts, depending on what your chosen activities are. My love is mountain bike riding, so my GoPro Action Mounts of choice are mountain bike mounts.

Power Accessories

Power largely depends on whether you have a Volta hand grip or not. With the Volta, you are pretty much covered for power. But even with the Volta, I believe it is still worth having one spare Enduro battery, for those times when you are not using the Volta.

Dual Battery Charger and Enduro Batteries

The most cost-effective way to purchase a spare battery is to buy the dual battery kit with a dual charger included. And this is the most convenient and quickest way to charge your Enduro Batteries as well. Problem solved.

Other GoPro Accessories Worth Considering

You now have enough GoPro Accessories to be a serious vlogger or action cam guy. There are some other GoPro Accessories I think are worth some serious consideration. Here are some to give some serious consideration:

  • GoPro Subscription – Not really an accessory but will greatly enhance your ability to upload automatically from your GoPro Hero11 Black to the cloud. It can greatly enhance your video production workflow and save you a bunch of time. It also gives you full access to the GoPro Quik app to make great videos.
  • Sling Crossbody Bag – a.k.a. fancy fanny pack for GoPros. Actually, this is the perfect size for fitting in the GoPro Hero11 Black Creator Edition together with Volta and Media Mod. It’s made for the Travel Vlogging, and you can fit all the little extras in as well.
  • Sleeve and Lanyard – I love these sleeves and lanyards. You can throw your GoPro in your handbag, pocket, or wherever. It is especially useful now that GoPro Hero11 Black has the horizon lock feature, so filming with a semi-naked GoPro just got easier.

Buy All The GoPro Accessories You Will Ever Need On Special!

So when you buy your GoPro Hero11 Black (or any other GoPro Camera), it’s worth noting that you really should allow a couple of hundred dollars for extra GoPro accessories. But if you wait for a great sale and buy them all together to get free shipping and a sale price, it’s not that bad really.

Black Friday sales are great for this, but you can probably find a Christmas sale or some other sale. And don’t forget the GoPro discount codes – you can probably get a 10% discount just for signing up to a newsletter. Happy GoPro Accessory Shopping!
