Love them or hate them, drones are here to stay, and these remote-controlled 'copters are bound to appeal to GoPro owners. The DJI Phantom2 GPS (HK$6,119, flycamhk.com) comes with a Zenmuse H3-3D mount that can take a GoPro to new heights. Capturing a different angle can make your GoPro video stand out, though there is a learning curve; practice some simple manoeuvres before attempting to pilot the drone only using the video display on the accompanying smartphone app. After that, creating a great video is all in the editing.

While most extreme sports footage is captured by with a GoPro attached to a helmet , it does produce an elevated angle that can give video a fake look. A more immersive alternative is the GoPro Chesty Mount (HK$329, expansys.com.hk which works like a simple harness for your action cam. Fully adjustable (there's a separate version available for kids), the resulting footage has more arms, legs, handlebars, ski poles and paddles in it. That might seem like a strange advantage, but first-person, fast action sequences seem more real like this.
