Product Information

GoPros make great video cameras, but there is no questioning that they were designed to record action. Whether you’re filming extreme sports or a leisurely walking city tour, the GoPro is an obvious choice given its compact size and great video quality. The INKEE FALCON gimbal is compatible with the GoPro Hero 12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5, DJI OSMO Action series, Insta360 ONE R and any other action cameras that have similar dimensions. INKEE FALCON Overview While GoPros are pretty good at cutting out wind noise, you'll want to invest in an external microphone if you want truly good audio. There are plenty of third-party mics, but GoPro also makes its own — built into the Media Mod for the Hero8 and Hero9. Floating handles are constructed out of a variety of materials including plastic, rubber, and foam. Plastic is an affordable option and is often used in inexpensive GoPro accessories but it may provide inferior buoyancy relative to more expensive options. The Feiyu WG2X is an update of the well-received WG2 wearable gimbal. Although on the surface they appear very similar, the WG2X has improved stabilization performance, an angled gimbal arm and the ability to control it remotely.

All the accessories within this guide are either produced by GoPro themselves or by third parties that we know offer great solutions at a good price point to help boost your filmmaking. From chest mounts, and spare batteries, to lens mods - there is something for everyone on any budget. The Crane M3 is a powerful yet incredibly compact gimbal. It’s primarily designed as a mirrorless camera gimbal, so the light payload of a tiny GoPro will prove no challenge. Most people will probably want to go with a handheld gimbal, unless certain the GoPro will be worn. Filming with the GoPro in your hand is the most natural setup, and a handheld gimbal basically becomes a GoPro grip that just happens to stabilize the recordings. A gimbal can still be useful during complex movements or in windy conditions. The gimbal physically stabilizes the camera, while electronic stabilization has limits.Two in one functionality – can be used as a standalone floating hand grip or with the extendable telescoping pole Also, keep in mind that most floating handles are designed to hold one action camera at a time. If you plan to add extra accessories to your mount, be sure to test its buoyancy with these accessories attached. Included in the box is a small tripod. When you close the legs of the tripod, it essentially becomes a grip of its own meaning you can use the WG2X as a handheld gimbal. What I Didn’t Like Note that since it is not natively compatible with the GoPro, you won’t be able to use its buttons to control your GoPro. However, it will at least balance your GoPro and stabilize footage. Wearable Gimbals vs Handheld Gimbals It is important to determine whether you want to hold your camera or wear your camera It was an extremely welcome move when GoPro started introducing touchscreens into its Hero cameras, but screens of course do need to be looked after, and this is doubly true for action cameras that are thrown into tough situations.

After a microSD card and spare batteries, choosing the best GoPro accessories entirely depends upon what you plan to do with it. You'll probably want a good selection of mounts and adapters, so you can attach the camera to your bike or whatever. Compared to other gimbals, motor noise is more noticeable. This might not be an issue for some, but those doing more audio-sensitive work like vlogging might take an issue with it. Pan-following: The gimbal will react to keep the horizon level, but follow movements in the pan axis (sideways). For that reason, I would argue a gimbal is no longer an essential accessory if you’re using a recent model like the GoPro 10, 11, or 12. You can always get the GoPro Volta official accessory if you just want a better handheld shooting experience (among other perks, like battery life and using it as a tripod). The GoPro Volta is recommended as a handheld shooting grip if you are satisfied with HyperSmooth stabilization results The Smooth 4 isn’t really designed for the kind of activity typically associated with GoPros, since smartphone gimbals are generally not weather proof and have slightly slower follow speeds. But for those who spend a lot of time filming with their phone and only occasionally take out their GoPro, the Smooth 4 is worth a look.Following: The gimbal will follow movements in the pan (sideways) and tilt (up and down) axes, while making sure the footage is stabilized. Similar sized action cameras like the Yi 4K/4K+, Sony RXO and SJCam, are also supported. WG2X Overview Despite its low price tag, the iSteady Pro 4 isn’t short on features. In fact, with four shooting modes, 600° range of motion in the pan axis and a 14-hour battery life, it has most of the competition beat. Aside from that, longer handles provide a bit more stability since they offer an extended reach in comparison to shorter grips. Price

The Karma Grip’s biggest strengths are its ease of use and top-notch stabilization performance. It works seamlessly with GoPros and doesn’t involve installation of any third-party gimbal companion apps which other manufacturers use for firmware updates or configuring settings. MULTI-PURPOSE HOLLOW COMPARTMENT - KEEP YOUR ESSENTIAL SAFE WHILE IN WATER: The watertight compartment of the grip can be used either as a storage for valuable small items to keep dry; or to achieve neutral buoyancy during scuba diving, snorkelling and other underwater activities. When the handle is filled with water it hovers neutrally underwater without forcing its way up to the surface, while used with no water in the chamber it turn into a camera floater and float on water surface. Finally, Feiyu went with a 5000mAh removable battery which can last for up to 12 hours on a single charge. You can therefore swap out the battery as you please, although most people will rarely find themselves needing to do so. What I Didn’t Like Lastly, go with brightly colored floating GoPro handles whenever possible. High-viz colors like neon orange or yellow are much easier to spot on the water’s surface than darker tones. FAQ Can you mount GoPro handles directly on paddle boards? CRADLE INCLUDED: This Waterproof Floating Hand Grip Pole features a Detachable Cradle for your GoPro WiFi remote (WiFi remote not included).It supports GoPros, but there are two caveats. First, you’ll need to buy the adapter mount, and second, some of the controls won’t work for GoPros. Zhiyun Crane M3 Overview The hollowed out hand grip can be used to store important items like cash, SD cards or batteries. It can also be filled with water, creating a neutrally buoyant compartment ideal for filming while diving. The GoPro Karma Grip doesn’t come cheap, but those after native compatibility with GoPros should look no further than GoPro’s very own Karma Grip. Despite being a slightly older gimbal, it still manages to perform just as well as almost every other third-party gimbal in everything but battery life. Compatibility The telescoping pole section is made from durable transparent plastic, making it seemingly disappear in photos. This makes it perfect for capturing water sports footage. A cradle for holding a GoPro WiFi remote is built into the bottom of the telescoping pole section, which makes taking selfies a breeze.

The Removu S1 comes in a very classy design. It feels well built, if a little bulky being the heaviest gimbal in the whole list. Small bonuses like its removable battery and removable remote control are the icing on the cake. Rubber has an improved ability to stay afloat, which makes it ideal for deeper waters or when dealing with larger waves. Foam is well known for its superior buoyance capabilities, yet this comes at a cost as it tends to be heavier and bulkier than other materials. Included with the floating handle is a double mount – allowing you to attach two separate cameras or smartphones at the same time. This allows you to film in both directions simultaneously, or it can be used to attach an underwater light. The mount tilts in 180 degrees which provides a huge range of shooting possibilities. Key Features Other non-essential but nice new features are its angled arm and additional thread needle on the side of the grip. The angled arm makes it so that the arm rarely obstructs the GoPro’s LCD screen. This versatile, lightweight grip is comfortable and has a number of added features that make it especially useful around water. The air-tight compartment inside the handle can be accessed by unscrewing the base – allowing you to keep valuables like cash, keys or batteries inside. Alternatively, it can be filled with water, making the entire mount neutrally buoyant – and perfect for filming while diving.And finally, it’s worth noting that the HyperSmooth image stabilization technology in GoPro cameras is less effective in low light conditions. In low lighting, a gimbal performs noticeably better, while giving you the benefits of disabling HyperSmooth like reduced battery consumption and no sensor crop. The GoPro Karma Grip (Official accessory) was engineered to work seamlessly with the GoPro, but it seems GoPro is focused on HyperSmooth electronic image stabilization technology over a gimbal’s mechanical stabilization these days. This means they probably won’t release another official gimbal. GoPro-wise, the G6 is fully compatible with all GoPro 3/3+/4/5/6/7 models. It is also compatible with similar sized action cameras like the Yi 4K/4K+, AEE and Xiaomi Mijia. The box also includes a separate frame for the Sony RX0 action camera. But when you’re filming extreme sports, a handheld gimbal might be too cumbersome. For example, when you’re out mountain biking, there’s no way you’ll have a hand free to hold up your camera. A wearable gimbal can be mounted to your chest, your handlebars, or just about anywhere you can think of.
