The monopod for GoPro cameras is a multi purpose accessory that can be used for travelling and is durable from snorkeling to snowboarding. You can easily attach the camera at the end of the monopod and it is very light weight so it isn’t difficult to hold or carry around. It extends from 21” to 34.5″and can hold a camera on both its ends! It is also made from forged aluminum and temperature controlled abs plastic that makes this accessory indestructible and easy to travel with.

The first travel accessory on your shopping list should definitely be a safety leash. You’ve spent a lot of money buying a GoPro and you don’t want to lose it during your trip.

You don’t even have to spend a fortune finding a solid safety leash and you definitely don’t need to spend money on a top brand model – unless you want to. A basic point and shoot camera wrist leash will help you keep your GoPro safe.

If you want, you can also attach a strong and thin accessory cord to your safety leash. This ensures that even when you hold the camera further and film yourself, you will still have the camera safely attached to your wrist.

A GoPro camera is quite expensive and not something that you would want to lose as it can cost $300-$400. This is why you should always attach a safety leash of some kind to it. An average point and shoot GoPro wrist leash that can be cinch shut will be great.
