The other must-have accessory to have with you is a camera extender or the so-called selfie stick. This makes it easy to capture video from hard-to-reach angles and it allows you to include yourself in your photos or video.

There are specific selfie stick brands that make using the camera extender with a GoPro easier. GoPole Evo is great for most travelers. It has a telescoping frame providing a reach of up to 24 inches. Furthermore, the stick hardly weighs anything and it actually floats on water.

If you need something with a better reach, you might consider the same brand’s Reach extender. You can extend this two-piece extension arm up to 40 inches. Just don’t try to float it, as it isn’t water-friendly.

The Telescopic Handheld Professional Monopod Camera Extender Pole with Tripod Mount can be used with a variety of different smartphones including most Samsung and Apple models, digital cameras and GoPro action cameras.

The mount features a soft foam handle that is non-slip and can be comfortably held on to without the fear of sliding out of your hand. The mount at the other end can be rotated 180 degrees to change the angle and take pictures or record videos. The wrist strap is an additional point of security because it lets you hold onto the mount with ease.
