Have at least two enduro batteries along with a charger that can charge two batteries at the same time. If your camera didn’t come with a cage get one (it’s an insurance policy). There’s so much you can do with a GoPro. Just go on Amazon and look at all the accessories you can get. Customize the way you want.

I agree on the backup batteries, I carry three on my camping, surfing & kayaking trips. There are some cheap accessory bundles on Amazon (see link below). They are as good as the OEM GoPro accessories and you will save a ton of $. I will also attach a how-to video that will give you some good tips on settings, filming, etc. There are tons of useful videos on YouTube.

It came with the charging cable and part of a mount. Appears 1 maybe 2 accessories to mount it are missing. Charged it up,appears to be working fine, didn't put a SD card in or anything. Not sure I'm going to keep it. Doin some research on them finally

I've used most if them. I sold my 9 a while back because the video needed a lot of tweaking to make it anywhere near as good as my 11 without any. Solid camera for a first GoPro. If you've never had one you won't really miss what you don't have. The 10 is almost as good picture wise but the 11 is way better in the stabilization department. Not quite like a gimbal but close if you learn to walk smoothly so it doesn't have to correct a lot.
Additional 9 and up all can use the same batteries and other accessories so that is a win.
