Common options include handheld grips and floating handles for in-water shots, head-mounted straps and clips for hands-free footage, flexible tripod-style mounts for wrapping or stabilizing, and monopod/selfie poles for extended reach.
Floating grips are designed to stay on the surface and return to the top if dropped. They typically include a bright orange end or marker that pops up to make the grip easy to spot and retrieve.
Kits often bundle a floating hand grip (Handler), an adjustable head strap, a QuickClip for caps or belts, and a carrying case.
Some housings include a skeleton backdoor that improves audio pickup while still allowing use of the camera’s rear touch screen; front LCDs remain accessible for framing and viewing.
Housings shown list two common ratings: one for use down to 40 m (about 131 ft) and another rated to 196 ft (60 m) for deeper diving.
Vlogging accessories may include a built-in directional microphone, a 3.5 mm mic port, HDMI-out, and two cold-shoe mounts for lights or additional mics; some kits add a removable foam wind cover that can reduce wind noise up to the stated 20 mph (32 kph) range.
Lengths range from compact mounts around 7.28 inches up to monopods that extend to 48 inches; the same monopod can collapse to about 18 inches, while other mounts typically measure around 10–11 inches.
Mounts attach using adjustable clamps and included adapters to fit smaller diameters; some clamp to create a handheld boom, while flexible-legged mounts can wrap or attach to a variety of round surfaces.
