Its a bit expensive for what it is considering the drift has it built in but I bought the one Drc posted for my mates gopro when I was using it and it worked tops. $20 from the shop at perisher before myride discount

I was thinking the same thing DRC!

I got a drift pole from Spaz on the weekend - so versatile! Was thinking GoPro must have similar!

As a drift user I’m surprised a lot of you GoPro users don’t simply purchase the standard tripod mount accessory which would allow you to mount the camera to all sorts of things with ease (cheap monopods etc)


^ this goes with that v

That GoPro tripod mount has a rrp of $16.50
I spoke with the owner/manager(?) at Perisher center and he told me they didn’t mark-up!
Drift monopod rrp $35 (don’t forget BWM discount)
=$51.50 (rrp)

or ~$40 for me to manufacture a PoleCam (including that GP mount) from discarded skipole made to your specs or ideal length for full frame shots.
($50 extendable pole) ($80 with led light+compass - “brand new” 4part extendable hiking pole)

Or buy a really cheap monopod online and the GP tripod mount.
