Backcountry collapsible poles / camera mount

Avatar

Hey guys so I got a Contour Roam2 for Xmas and I got to thinking…. I want to get some sweet videos when I’m In whistler and I plan on getting a helmet mount for majority of the time just cause its easier but I realized that the footage I normally get from that is ok but I would also like to get some footage with a ski pole setup. Seen some of the videos online and they look sweet and you get a better all around view plus you can really see the pow flying and that’s always good to see..

So what I need is some help picking out some lightweight ski poles that are collapsible like (probe collapsible) not the sliding ones reason for that is the ones that are held together by a Kevlar wire collapse much smaller then the sliding ones. I was going to just get a cheap trekking pole which is still a option but I plan on buying a split board next season and ill be needing poles either way figured get better ones now and then later I won’t have to worry about it

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
