I bought one of these kits a while back. It was the Neewer 50-1 and cost something like $30-$35. Overall the quality is pretty low, but what these kits are good for is giving the user a broad experience with different mounts, accessories and other GoPro add-ons. It helped me to see what I really liked (ex: Head mount vs. chest mount). Then once you determine the 2-3 things you really like you can invest in more quality products from GoPro, SNAP mount, etc…

It helps me a lot I'm getting my first GoPro and I'm looking information in YouTube, thanks for this 😊

[tezthetruckie]

Thank you for your review. It was good to see what you had to say about the kits. I do use the dive case on my truck. ie mirror, mudguards and on back of trailers. Any where it can be very muddy, dusty or it just going get hit by something. Keep up the good work I always enjoy your videos.

Tnks, about year ago I wached your video and bought SeaSucker 4.5" Vacuum Mount- its awesome. I drived about 1000 km with it on out side my car and it never falled. My longest drive was about 700 km and still ok. Now I use Insta 360 1 inch with it

Nice work brother. Pleasure meeting this week!

I have that 30 case. It's worth pointing out those mounts can be useful in other situations... I have one of those "round" gopro mounts as a headphone holder on the wall (never fell in a couple of years). Never found a use for the "tripod", though, but still hopeful!

All i need is a harness body chest mount and a head mount so i can film i would prefer chest because i jave a small head things dont fit and feels wrid on chest will feel better to me i think but il use both i want both i have a gopro im hoing to buy another much better one

[madanismail]

For the chest mount my take is using the belt without the shoulder straps which makes it more practical and secure enough, another tool I liked in this kit is the clamp, the telescopic stick is quite descent as I already tried it the bobber is ok, they also included in my kit a small plastic bag with an inside net and closing with a zip I assumed it was for the battery overall itè s a descent kit, thanks for the review.

I need to put my GoPro on a bendy stick to investigate a fox den underground in my garden (to make sure it’s empty before filling it in), so the waterproof housing will protect it (especially the lens) from dust dirt etc.

[DemonViewLLC]

14:34 Selfie stick "It works, it will get you by..." Not true. Mount a GoPro on it and usually the first thing that selfie stick will do is rotate so your GoPro is hanging upside down. Selfie sticks without that central groove in them tend to just flop upside down because they are so cheap. So cheapo selfie sticks are actually one of the worst parts that come with those accessory cases.

[Chavorrucosbarandgrill]

14:12 Yes yes, that's exactly me! TYVM for the advise.

[nuedel]

i would probably use the housing not for diving but for other extrems like putting it on a bike for downhilling or when i put my gopro on the outside of the car

[kamallagratte]

I am going to surf next week next week and just bought a Gopro. Could you do a video for the accessories I would need ?, )

[sakriso]

The dive enclosure might not be great for deep diving, but it would work just to keep sand out of the GP on the beach. Can't have enough bobbers! Lol!

[hinetimes]

Bought a similar kit years ago. Its basically junk but Ive used alot of it with random one time shots. No sense spending alot if your not using regularly.

[adsla]

I paid $39.99 for the Husiway kit. Extremely happy with what I got for that price.

[abhijeetkurup]

Hi Daaave, BTW you should compare the DJI and Insta 360 mobile gimbals

[Keolaw]

I lost a GoPro 3+ Black while using the Velcro Wrist Strap while ocean swimming. The camera looks to have popped out of the holder in the wrist strap while I had the strap affixed to a swim buoy and I did not have a floaty affixed to the camera. So, I do not recommend those Velcro wrist straps for situations where you can lose the camera.

[clifffawcett]

This is a great video, David. If someone was new to the GoPro world, I think this would be a great place to start. After you’ve been using them for several years, you kind of find the ones that you really like and you don’t mind spending the extra money for a better quality one. I wouldn’t trust most of those in situations where my GoPro is really at risk. But still, decent value for $30

I've Been Using the old Thumb screws all Winter and I haven't had a problem with them. I tried to torque screws but they don't fit the best with the media mod.
