Top 5 GoPro-accessoires voor wintersport

Are you an experienced skier or snowboarder who does the coolest tricks or are you just starting out? No matter how experienced you are, it is great to record your winter sports adventures. You would prefer not to do this with your phone, because one fall and your phone screen will be in a thousand pieces. That is why it is useful to use an action cam to record your winter sports. To help you shoot the coolest images during your winter sports, we have put together the top 5 GoPro accessories for winter sports.

There are different types of action cams, for example from GoPro, Insta360 and DJI Osmo Action. This blog will focus on the best GoPro accessories for winter sports. Action cams almost always have the same type of connection, so most accessories are also suitable for action cams from other brands.

1. GoPro on your ski, helmet or snowboard: Telesin GoPro adhesive mount

A GoPro adhesive mount can be attached to almost any surface, both straight and curved. An obvious option is to attach it to your helmet. This creates a unique “point of view” shot. It almost seems like you are looking through your own eyes when you film from your helmet. The adhesive mount is attached to your helmet with strong glue (M3), so you don't have to worry about it coming off. Do you want to remove the adhesive mount from your helmet? No worries, you can easily remove the adhesive mount from your helmet with the heat of a hair dryer.

In addition, you can also choose to attach the sticky mount to your skis or snowboard. You create a unique perspective and extra speed in videos because your action cam is close to the ground.

Don't forget to purchase a Buckle mount to attach your action cam to.

2. GoPro on your ski pole: Telesin silicone tube clamp

Do you want to attach a GoPro around your ski poles? There is an accessory for this too. Telesin has developed a rubber tube clamp that fits tightly around tubes. Ideal for around your handle or around the ski pole itself. This allows you to create very dynamic images, because you move your hands and ski poles a lot while skiing. For more stable images, it is better to attach your GoPro to a more stable place, but for the best end product, a combination of stable and dynamic is the best. Please note: the tube must be thick enough to ensure that the tube clamp is tight enough. This tube clamp is not only suitable for around tubes, but also fits perfectly around the shoulder straps of a backpack. The tube clamp is very versatile and therefore also a must-have accessory for recording your winter sports with an action cam.

If you prefer not to attach anything to your ski poles, but still want to create a similar dynamic effect? Then a wrist mount is a good alternative. This is a kind of strap that you attach around your wrist. It closes tightly with Velcro, so you don't have to worry about your camera falling.

3. Protect your GoPro on winter sports: Waterproof housing

During winter sports, your GoPro often comes into contact with water, whether it is falling snow or a fall in the snow. It is therefore ideal to protect your GoPro from all elements. Place your GoPro in a waterproof housing while skiing or snowboarding. This ensures that your GoPro is protected against bumps and scratches. The image remains just as sharp in the housing. This makes the housing a pleasant extra precaution. By protecting your GoPro well, you will enjoy it for longer.

4. Drone-like footage: Telesin 3-meter selfie stick

Do you want to create a shot that looks like it was taken by a drone, but you don't want to buy a drone? Then you can use an extra long selfie stick. The carbon selfie stick from Telesin is 3 meters long, so you can film yourself from a great distance. You can also ask someone else to ski behind you with the selfie stick. This allows you to shoot the images from an even greater distance. Of course, you don't always have to extend the selfie stick completely. Even with a selfie stick that is extended 1.5m, you can take shots with a different kind of perspective.

Because the Telesin stick is made of lightweight carbon, you can easily carry it. Be careful when filming with the selfie stick. When it is fully extended, the stick takes up a lot of space.

5. GoPro ski neck mount: Telesin neck mount

Another way to create a kind of point of view shot is to film from your chest. For this you can use a chest or neck mount. A neck mount is a kind of chain to which you can attach your GoPro. With this your GoPro hangs at about chest height. This creates a perspective where it seems like you are looking through your own eyes. The Telesin neck mount is available in 2 versions. A neck mount for GoPro and a neck mount for smartphones with MagSafe . For when you prefer to use your smartphone.

Prefer nothing around your neck? Then you can also opt for a chest mount. This is a kind of harness that you put on above your ski jacket. This gives you a similar perspective.
