GoPro Accessories Kit
Yes yes, I know, we all love GoPro accessories. Us GoPro enthusiasts can quickly spend more than the cost of the GoPro camera itself without realizing it! I have purchased quite a few accessories and mounts myself, but do you know what I’ve never purchased? A GoPro Accessories Kit. Crazy, I know. I explained my thoughts behind accessory kits in my video on the top 5 accessories every GoPro newbie needs, but I recently took a look through the fascinating report of what purchases the VidProMom audience has made through my Amazon affiliate links. Don’t freak out–the report doesn’t tell me who bought what, so no, I don’t who bought a 3-pack of tighty whiteys or what kitty litter your cat prefers. But I do know what the most popular GoPro accessories kits are based on my audience. So let’s break it down!

Looking at the list of GoPro accessories kit purchases, they are all compatible with all model GoPros so these are the types of kits you’re probably looking for. There were 3 clear winners as far as top purchases go, and the breakdown by brands in the top 3 is Black Pro – 42%, Lifelimit – 29%, and Nomadic Gear – 29%. While the Black Pro kit is the clear winner overall, it’s not like it won by a lot, so let’s break down what comes in these kits and what they cost.
Black Pro Basic Common Outdoor Sports Kit for GoPro – $13.50

Nomadic Gear 55-in-1 Action Camera Accessories Kit for GoPro – Currently unavailable
The Nomadic Gear 55-in-1 kit is currently not available, but since it was in the top 3 GoPro accessories kit purchases, I wanted to include it here (it may become available again in the future, who knows?).
