I’m about to buy the GoPro 8
Is it worth buying the cheap accessories bundles on eBay or should I pay top dollar for official stuff
Just wondering if the eBay stuff is nasty quality or not
Anyone had experience??

Depends on what U use it for.
I never bought the 40+pcs kit because I only needed head mount, chest mount, selfie stick, suction cup mount and short floating stick.
I guess U get what U pay for, I have lost a GoPro to the deep blue from using an eBay selfie stick before..
yeh headmount and chestmount are the main ones im after did you get ebay ones or official
I have cheap ebay accessories kit (30$) for my gopro hero 7, and i am very happy with it. I wouldn't pay top dollar for official gopro stuff.
yeh you can get about a million pieces for $30 on ebay but i would hate to lose my gopro because i cheaped out….thanks for your feedback
Nothing is wrong with that kit. I've tested it out and i still have my unscratched Gopro :)
I don't understand why people like to buy the cheap ebay kits. it's like cheap shit. I don't mind if gopro is ised indoor but we use it mostly outdoor. I really don't recommend cheap ones
I also bought a set of accessories but after comparing to original version I never have used them
gopro plus(free trial available) gives 50% off accessories
I have a GoPro hero 4 from a few years ago.
I brought a cheap accessories kit from eBay (the one that comes with a heap of stuff).
I've only ever used the selfie stick and the buoyant hand grip.
I mostly use the buoyant hand grip as it not only floats in water but can be used as a mini selfie stick.
I would buy again from eBay if needed.
Edit: actually now that I think about it, I'm sure OzBargain recommended to grab one of the cheap eBay kits.
