What GoPro accessories do I need for travel?

For travel: Handler floating grip (water activities), Shorty mini extension pole (selfies and group shots), extra Enduro batteries (long shooting days), and a protective case for transport. The Volta external battery grip adds 4+ hours of battery life and doubles as a tripod — ideal for travel vlogging. A 256GB microSD card ensures you never run out of storage during a trip.

Are third-party GoPro mounts safe?

For low-risk activities (hiking, vlogging, tabletop use): third-party mounts work fine and save money. For high-risk activities (skiing at speed, mountain biking, surfing): use official GoPro mounts or proven brands like SP Connect and PolarPro. The adhesive mounts are particularly important to get right — a failed mount at speed means losing your $400 camera. Do not cheap out on mounts used during high-speed activities.
