I recently posted my early thoughts on the GoPro HERO 13 Black and the accessories and mounts that I had purchased for it. I also promised an update after my most recent order: a 256GB MicroSD card and a Magnetic Latch Ball Joint Mount. Well, UPS delivered and now so must I.
Let’s get the SD card out of the way first, it’s a MicroSD card, it’s much bigger than the one that came in my GoPro Bundle, it’s given me 3 hours more space for footage, I’m very happy. 10/10.
The SD card was a no brainer, but I ummmed and ahhhed over the Ball Joint for some time. Having purchased the Magnetic Swivel Clip as an alternative to the Head Strap and Chesty for POV hiking videos, I wasn’t 100% happy with the field of vision that it granted, and the Ball Joint seemed like a good solution, but would it push the needle that much and at £19.99 (£39.99 for non-subscribers), was it a waste of money?
Quick answer: no, it was not. The mount is an absolute game-changer, the extra range of motion allows you to keep your videos in a landscape view upon movement when attached to the Magnetic Swivel Clip. This offers a superb alternative option for POV shots when you have too many layers to comfortably wear the Chesty and don’t want to wear a Head Strap (the Head Strap 2.0 is not compatible with the Ball Joint).
The Magnetic Latch Ball Joint Mount is compatible with anything that uses the Mounting Base system. Honestly, I wish I had bought one sooner.
Let me know what GoPro Accessories you have added to your set up recently or any of your all-time favourite mounts.
