GoPro gets connected with an awesome app suite that makes posting to all your favourite social networks such as Facebook and Instagram a breeze, don’t stop there: email, text and share the experience. This app takes your GoPro where no GoPro has gone before; access your device remotely to control all camera functions and get live previews for easy shot framing.

Max up the experience

Accessorise your GoPro with mount attachments, a backdoor housing to make your GoPro float on water or an extra cool housing that combines two HD cameras in a single housing to record 3D videos.

I would highly recommend you check out a vast assortment of accessories that maximise the potential of your GoPro and try to stay clear of buying too many 3rd party accessories, they may be cheaper but it could cost you big time in the long run with damage to your prized GoPro.

Once you're fully equipped and ready to go, always remember to pack it with you. Wherever you go, don’t forget your GoPro; and turn-taking videos or documenting your day into a more interesting and fun activity.
