Waterproof selfie stick and hand grip – Take your GoPro underwater

Waterproof selfie stick is an essential GoPro accessory if you want to use your action camera in the sea, or in snowy/rainy conditions. A stick helps you to take photos of yourself even if you are alone, but it provides further advantages too: mounting your camera on a pole or hand grip allows you to move closer to your subject as well as gives extra stability. An underwater selfie stick is the best way to record every moment while snorkeling, diving, kayaking, surfing and any other water activity. Let this post help you to find the best ones!

Best GoPro waterproof selfie stick models

Using a monopod is the best way of capturing cool pictures in your everyday life or while traveling. The latest GoPro cameras are waterproof up to a certain depth without an additional case, but to have the best setup, make sure that you mount it on a waterproof selfie stick.

Water, especially salty water damages metal parts even after a few uses, causes rusting and stuck screws. That’s why normal sticks go wrong after saltwater use.
