It’s a known fact that GoPro cameras are the best and most versatile action cameras out there, delivering not only on the functionality front, but also when it comes to durability.

The camera is capable of capturing buttery smooth 4K video even though it’s tiny when compared to most modern DSLRs. However, even though the GoPro Hero 7 is a pretty capable action camera on its own, you can do a lot more with it when you pair it with some handy accessories.
