EXTENSION MOUNT

Selfie sticks are great for group shots, interesting angles, reaching tough spaces and of course, selfies. Your GoPro works with many extension poles, but we also created an amazingly versatile alternative. The 3-Way can be used as a camera grip, extension arm or a tripod. Its multiple joints also allow you to position your GoPro for the perfect angle and keep the extension arm out of your photos and videos.

You can also find mounts to turn your favorite gear into extension arms. For example, our Handlebar/Seatpost/Pole mount can secure your GoPro to a paddle or ski pole-allowing you to capture yourself without interrupting your activity.
