Mizu’s is the bees knees of poles….I want one but never got around to making one as good as his.
I just got a super light aluminium pole from lost property and duct taped one of the mounts to it. it hasn’t moved in 3 years. heres a vid using it https://vimeo.com/22108893
Jez was supposed to do a write up about the GoPro branded ones while he was in Whistler!!!!!

Hey Miz is your gopro pole collapsible?
You should tot’s make a tutorial vid for all the folk who are keen to make their own
That would mean that I’d have to pull it apart!!!!!
Ohh, and it is a twist and expand/collapse style deal!!!!! Goes from 70cm-140cm!!!!!
It is a bit of a pain in the arse carryin it on ya if ya don’t have a backpack, but with it expandin out to 140cms it gets a great shot!!!!!
I’ve been toyin with the idea of makin some sort of clip style thing to be able to lock the pole onto my bindings so it can be stored when not usin it!!!!! I just haven’t been bothered to get that idea past the “brainstorm” stage yet!!!!! Hahahahaaa!!!!!
Yeah that would be sweet if ya could just clip it to ya highbacks
Your camera pole definately gives an awesome field of view!!
I’ve got the drift monopod but it’s only 50cm when etended… Pretty crappy, but better than nothin I guess.
I’m not expecting it to capture very good video, btu have to wait till the shred to see
With the smaller pole (like Drift or GoPro) I strap it to my wrist which gives me hands free while conveniently located. Drift remote makes a good strap.
Have a clip on, binding mounted holder for my PoleCam - can even use it to steer my board.
Just this week I installed a 1/4” thread to the end of a skipole so I could screw the Drift Monopod to it when wanting extra long, full body footage. I don’t think it will be be very stable because of the weight. Much prefer the VIO mounted on a pole.

RPS88a and I did some filming with a Drift monopod last weekend. Yeah it’s only pretty short but the upside is it fits in my pocket when I’m not filming. Just be careful with the wrist strap mine snapped within a few minutes of wearing it on a chairlift. Luckily we didn’t drop the camera.
My sister made a quick edit with some of the pole footage which you can see here
got new lens for my electric goggles so good! now to get a IRS tall hoodie…. next pay day this week

When I re-do mine before August, I’ll make a tutorial on my one. not as fancy as Mizu’s but it does what I want it to do and works well.

I just went and checked. My pole is actually longer than the average pole. It helps get all those funny angles I like.
Also I am not showing it to you guys anymore in case you get jealous or damage it on inspection.
I ended up making lots of poles. This way I have a different length for different times. I found the surf piece attachment just lying around in the workshop so I made a bunch of poles playing round with the best way to attach it. They’re not all awesome but they work.
