Need help with gopro questions

[The-Rodent]

I am thinking about getting a go pro to film ski edits as well as going to festivals this summer and just all around stuff i do with my friends. What I'm wondering is what is the best possible go pro + attachments i can get for sound quality as well as film quality.

I basically just want the best go pro set up i can get but don't know exactly what that would be.

Please help me out thanks

You dont really "upgrade" a go pro.

the only upgrade would to be an lcd screen

What i mean is something like an external mic stuff along those lines. basically all of the things i would need to have a good setup

They do make mics for gopros but these haven't gotten super good reviews. Your best bet would be to by a micro usb to 3.5mm earphone adapter and buy a nice external mic (rode or something like that).

If you are filming a ski edit or whatever along those lines, get a stablizer! Go with the Feiyu g3, or Iglide glide cam. They both have their pros and cons. I'm looking into picking up a feiyu

I've heard a stabilizer is a waste of money for a go pro and doesn't work much better than a pole mount but ill look into it
