Nice one Lano. I may use some of your ideas. My Gopro Pole kept failing on me.

I just bought 2 Go-Poles. I’m sick of all the effort and figured if I get the GP3, I can use one there smile

I’m guessing when it was held together with some craft glue and sticky tape, I thin Dan needs more than just a few ideas?????

if you make one properly i don’t see why u need to buy one…


I can guarantee you any money that the one i made is nothing better then the one that I made….


sorry just sticking some TICKETS on my self here. lol

I have a home made one… but it’s heavy and hard to attach. The GoPole wasn’t too pricey and looks a ton better if you do self shots.

Yeah, unfortunately Epoxy Resins are used more like a Plug than an Anchor!!!!!  LOL

What I like about your handle Lanox is that hole at the bottom of it. It will be useful for attaching a counter-weight (which I recomend doing).

i already have a small sinker, similar to what you use for fishing that i made it to be a tight fit in the hole.

also i have a leash that you can put it in around you arm that attaches .


edit:

although you really dont need it, its very light.

Even though its light, its more to counter weigh the actual gopro, because that is where all the weight is. Right at the end of the lever. Ideally you want something that weighs more than the camera at the handle.
