GTravel Gurus would like to thank Polar Pro for all the GoPro Accessories. The Polar Pro items were given complimentary, but opinions on this article are from the writers who tried the products.
Go Pro has tons of accessories… Will consider the pole and the diving case once I get one
Cool set. Too bad I don’t own a GoPro. ?
Cool gadget and what an awesome job you have jealous. Hehe!
This makes me want to get a gopro! I’m not a traveller – at least not yet, but I’m hoping to do it someday. Will definitely consider getting a gopro since it has all of these cool accessories
I’m relying on my Sony Xperia Z1 to capture my adventures — food, travel and events. I’m not a techie or gadget person and I’m not sure if I’ll be needing the GoPro.
When I become a full time travel blogger I’d definitely get a good go pro and this seems like a really good option.
This is so useful especially during summer tours! Will be considering other reviews for this.
These are great gadgets to have! These are really helpful in documenting one’s tracel experiences.I wish they were affordable.
We always wanted a Go Pro too. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a budget for it. Thank you very much for giving a detailed post. We’ll definitely use this as reference when we have our own and we’ll make sure that if ever we buy, we buy it in the U.S. so we’ll save some money. By the way, I personally got hyped with the “Polar Pro Pro View Cellphone Mount.”
I want a GoPro too. Nice to know that there are all these accessories to not only ensure battery life, but more important are proper filters for use in different settings to capture memories as best it could.
Amazing gadgets, I do love documenting all my adventures, so this is very helpful and good ideas for me and to all with the same field of interest. Amazing blog
Thank you so much for sharing. Actually I;m planning on buying a GoPro this year because I can have it in travels and water adventures.
