Action Camera Accessories for GoPro, DJI Osmo & More
An action camera without the right accessories is just a small box. Impulse Camera Store carries the mounts, cases, filters, batteries, housings, and grip accessories that put your action camera exactly where the action is — on your helmet, handlebar, surfboard, or drone. Whether you're outfitting a GoPro HERO series, a DJI Osmo Action, or an Insta360, we carry the accessories that extend what your camera can do and protect it through every adventure.
Buying Guide: Action Camera Accessories
Mounts & Clamps
The mount is what makes an action camera an action camera. GoPro's mounting ecosystem includes adhesive curved and flat mounts, handlebar/seatpost clamps, helmet mounts (top and side), suction cups, and a jaw clamp for poles and gear. Third-party mounts from Ulanzi, Joby, and other brands expand the mounting options while maintaining compatibility with the GoPro mount standard. For surfing, body-boarding, and water sports, waterproof housing mounts are rated for depth and impact resistance.
Batteries & Power
Action camera batteries drain quickly, especially in cold weather and at high resolutions. A set of spare batteries and a multi-battery charging hub ensures you never miss a shot on a long day of shooting. Third-party batteries from brands like Wasabi Power offer comparable capacity at lower cost. For extended multi-day expeditions, a battery eliminator or USB-C power bank connection (on newer models) keeps the camera running continuously.
Filters for Action Cameras
ND filters for action cameras reduce light in bright outdoor and water environments, allowing you to set proper 180-degree shutter angle (2x frame rate) for natural motion blur in video. Polar Pro and Urth make filter sets specifically designed for GoPro and DJI Osmo Action cameras. Diving lens kits (red filters) correct the green/blue color cast in underwater footage without post-correction.
Chest, Head & Grip Accessories
Chest harnesses provide a first-person POV chest perspective popular for skiing, mountain biking, and kayaking. Head straps give a direct eye-level POV. Camera handle grips with a GoPro mount allow stable handheld shooting with a grip you can hold comfortably. Floating hand grips are essential for water sports — they keep the camera above the waterline if dropped.
Are GoPro accessories compatible with DJI Osmo Action cameras?
DJI Osmo Action cameras use DJI's proprietary quick-release mount system on the top, which is not directly compatible with GoPro's 3-prong mount. However, the bottom of most Osmo Action cameras has a standard 1/4"-20 thread, and adapters exist to convert between GoPro mounts and DJI mounts. Check the specific model and mount type before purchasing.
How long does an action camera battery last?
Most GoPro HERO and DJI Osmo Action batteries last approximately 1-2 hours of active recording at 4K/60fps, less in cold temperatures. Recording at lower resolutions or frame rates extends battery life. For all-day shooting, plan on 3-4 spare batteries or a continuous power solution via USB-C.
Do I need a waterproof housing for my GoPro?
Most recent GoPro HERO models are waterproof to 33 feet (10 meters) without a housing. For deeper diving, whitewater kayaking, or extra impact protection, a dedicated dive housing extends waterproof depth to 60+ meters. Check your specific model's waterproof rating — older models may not be waterproof without a housing.
What ND filters do I need for action camera video?
For 4K/30fps (requiring 1/60s shutter for 180-degree rule), you typically need ND8 in bright sun, ND16-32 for very bright conditions. In overcast light, ND4 or ND8 is sufficient. Filter sets (ND4, ND8, ND16, ND32) cover most situations. Polar Pro's Venture and Cinema series are popular among serious action cam videographers.
What is the best way to mount a GoPro on a motorcycle?
The most popular motorcycle mounts are: RAM handlebar clamps (provides vibration-dampening), suction cup mounts on fairing or tank (requires smooth surface), and chin mount on a full-face helmet. Avoid mounting directly to vibrating engine components without anti-vibration dampening — high-frequency vibration causes the jello/wobble effect that damages the video.
