Here are the cameras and accessories we actually use.

We own 10 GoPro cameras, back to the Hero3 Black. It probably comes as no surprise that the latest model (Hero11 Black) is the best model.

We also own the DJI Action 3, DJI Action 2, Insta360 One X2, and an older Akaso camera.

Camera Accessories

Here are the accessories and mounts we’re currently using on our adventures.

DJI Selfie Stick

I’m loving the Osmo Action 3 extension rod. At 5 ft (1.5 m), it is one of the longest selfie sticks I’ve owned. It is stable, long, and has a nice grip.

Car Mount: Delkin Fat Gecko

See this mount on Amazon or Adorama. Here are a few more options for car mounts.

Stuntman 360: Shoulder Mount

For stable footage, you can’t do better than the Stuntman 360. Here are a few more options for camera shoulder mounts.

Peak Design Capture Camera Clip (GoPro Backpack Mount)

Get your Peak Design camera clip on Amazon or PeakDesign.
