Over the last few months a couple of these GoPro accessory rolls have been put together. The idea is to have all of your bits and bobs together in one easy to get to and well organised package. The one shown below (MKII) is made from Cordura and is designed to hold a Gorillapod

My GoPro Hero 2 
The aim over the next few weeks is to try a few multiple angle shots from multiple cameras. The suction cup mount is definitely a great resource to have.

The final bit of outfitting for my new Pyranha Jed was a GoPro guide sticker.
Some really nice mounting options for the GoPro cameras are shown in this GoPro promo.

Also in the photograph is my MYOG custom grip. Not in the photograph are my SD cards and a couple of custom made mounts from a new UK based firm (more info soon).
I bought a GoPro Floating Back Door
It keeps the camera on the surface and is easy to spot. Job done!
Just ordered a GoPro Battery BacPac from Amazon, 41% off. It will happily work with both the 1080p HD and HD2 cameras.
– Attaches to the back of the 1080p HD HERO camera
– 2X (approx) extended recording time
– Plugs into any USB charging source to charge your spare HD HERO batteries
– Charges 960p and 1080p HD HERO camera batteries
– Built in LED lights indicate battery power status
As of 2012 what is the best GoPro package for kayaking? Over the past couple of years I have owned two GoPro cameras. The first was a 1080p hero and the second the HD2. In both cases I bought the helmet mount bundle (or the Outdoor Edition as it is now known) and although most of the mounts have been used I have never used the elastic headband mount.
Initially I had dismissed all of the other package/bundle options as I wanted to mount the camera on a helmet and the helmet mount pack seemed the logical one to go for. However, more recently I have been looking a little more closely at which bundle offers the best solution for the film making kayaker.
Not getting the correct settings on your GoPro for a particular shot or sequence is something that I find occurs quite a lot. Carrying the guide/manual around whilst paddling is also a bit of a nightmare. To try and solve this issue I have had a few stickers made up that show some of the key display codes from the GoPro. One of these is now stuck inside each of my boats.

Here are a few images of my newest GoPro grip. Full carbon shaft and a little something secret to ensure that the GoPro mount is firmly attached!
Cost was £0 as I already had the mount, glue and the cut off carbon shaft. There are a couple of options if you do want to buy a retail version.
Seems to work really well.
Here is another GoPro Kayak Mount designed and executed by Laurie Clark. It’s a great looking professional set up. It’s been built (mainly) from bits and bobs you would find in B&Q (DIY Superstore). The main components are 40mm ABS waste pipe plus associated fittings.
