Top 5 MUST-HAVE Accessories for the GoPro Hero 3 and 3+

Image
I've been using my GoPro Hero cameras for over 3 years now and have used them in enough situations to come up with a list of my top 5 must have GoPro accessories and mounts. These are in no particular order and based purely on my experience. 1. Extra Batteries - Enough power for the entire day!

Nothing is more frustrating than seeing zero bars left of battery just before dropping in on a ski run or mountain bike trail. Save yourself the frustration and pick up some extra batteries so your GoPro will outlast you during the day. I recommend picking up the Wasabi battery kit.

We're bombarded by photos continuously, and we're used to being able to views them at our own leisure on social media. Plus, physical photos are hard to share with friends, and are vulnerable to being lost or damaged in ways that backed up digital files are not. That brings many people to the same conclusion: these photos need to be scanned. So, how...
