Action camera accessories cover the mounts, batteries, cases, filters and extension poles that go with sports and 360 cameras, for riders, divers, skiers and travel vloggers. Our range includes products from DJI, GoPro, Insta360 and PULUZ, as well as SJCAM and Kandao.
Many items fit one specific camera line, so check the model before you buy.
How to choose action camera accessories
Camera compatibility. Start with the exact model name, not just the brand. A battery or housing made for a GoPro Hero model will not fit a different generation, and DJI and Insta360 each use their own mounting systems for some products. Basic mounts with a standard two-prong or quick-release fitting are more widely interchangeable.
Where and how you film. Helmet, chest, handlebar and suction mounts suit different activities. Cyclists and motorcyclists usually want a clamp or handlebar mount with some vibration damping, while snow sports and surfing call for floating grips or secure straps. An extension pole is useful for wide group shots and, with 360 cameras, can disappear from the final footage.
Power and storage. Action cameras run hot and drain batteries quickly in cold weather, so a spare battery or a multi-slot charger is one of the most practical purchases. Check the memory card speed rating your camera requires, because slow cards can interrupt 4K recording.
Protection and image control. A waterproof housing extends depth ability beyond the camera body alone, which matters for diving and snorkelling. Lens protectors guard against scratches and ND filters reduce glare and keep motion blur natural in bright sunlight.
Original or third-party. Manufacturer accessories are guaranteed to fit and are tested with the camera. Third-party makers often offer cheaper mounts and cases, which suits occasional use or a spare kit you are happy to lose.

Action camera accessories: frequently asked questions
Do GoPro accessories fit other action cameras?
Often, but not always. Many action cameras and third-party mounts use the GoPro style two-prong or three-prong fitting, so basic mounts transfer well. Batteries, cases and cage frames are model-specific and will not carry over.
What accessories do I need to start filming with an action camera?
A mount that suits your activity, a spare battery and a fast memory card are the practical starting set. Add a waterproof housing if you will be deeper than the camera's own rating allows. A selfie stick or extension pole is useful for travel and group shots.
Are cheap third-party action camera accessories worth buying?
For mounts, straps and cases, usually yes, provided the fitting matches your camera. Check that clamps hold firmly under vibration. For batteries and waterproof housings, original products carry less risk of poor fit or shorter running time.
Which accessories suit a 360 camera?
Look for an extension pole, a protective lens cover and a mount designed for your 360 model. Lens protection matters most, as the exposed lenses scratch easily. Insta360 and Kandao accessories are made for their own 360 cameras.
