There's a good reason why GoPro's tagline is "the world's most versatile camera."

With their super-compact design and point-and-shoot operation, it's a device that anyone can set up and use. And with its waterproof housing, you can use it in the snow or rain, in or out of the water, or really anywhere you want to go.

But to get the most from a GoPro -- or any action cam for that matter -- you need to go beyond the adhesive helmet mount that came with the camera.

What follows are accessories to help you do just that. And this list isn't just for GoPro users.

Though many of these use the pronged mount used on GoPro's housings, the first product on the list shows you how to get around that. Also, the accessories here that don't use GoPro's mount use a standard 1/4-20 tripod mount.

This list just scratches the surface of what's out there. If you have a favorite action-cam accessory or one you're curious about, please let me know in the comments.
