Let me start by saying this kit is a STEAL for the price. As someone who's used GoPro accessories before, I was skeptical about the quality, but AKASO delivered way beyond expectations. The sheer variety of mounts (suction cup, wrist strap, backpack clip) means I've filmed POV bike rides, underwater snorkeling, and even time-lapses from my car dashboard—all with one compact kit.
The suction cup mount is shockingly sturdy. I stuck it to my jeep's hood during off-roading, expecting vibrations to ruin the footage, but the rubber pad absorbed bumps like a champ. Pro tip: Wet the suction cup slightly before attaching for an even stronger hold (learned that after my first failed attempt!).
Now, the not-so-great parts: Those tiny screws? Absolute finger killers. Trying to attach the camera to the floating grip mid-kayak trip had me cursing like a sailor. Also, be warned—the wrist strap snapped during my first hike when it caught on a branch (though shoutout to AKASO's customer service for sending a replacement within days!).
The mini tripod is my dark horse favorite. Weighing nothing in my backpack, it's saved group shots during travels when no one's around to take photos. Folded legs grip uneven rocks better than pricier tripods I've used.
For water sports lovers: The floating grip works... until it doesn't. In choppy waves, my Brave 7 once flipped upside down despite the floatation. Always double-check tightness before diving in!
Final verdict? If you can tolerate some assembly frustration and occasional quality hiccups, this kit unlocks professional-looking shots without the professional price tag. Just maybe keep spare screws in your gear bag—you'll thank me later.
