    In this video I show how to make a GoPro Mounting Pole that you can use to either shot self portraits or point your camera forward for shooting great video of others. This a vary simple and should not cost that much to make. All you need is an old ski pole, some nuts and bolts, spray paint, and a GoPro Tripod Mount. This project should not take that long to make, no more than a few hours and will render a completely new world of possibilities for your GoPro Camera

    This is the best DIY mounting pole on RUclips, i ended up using what i have here in AZ a hiking stick in which it extends to a certain length...thanks for all you tips !

    Sweet. That is a good idea. Using something that is expendable is a good plan

    I made this video a bit differently than the rest. Most of the time I record the audio and video files together. However for this video I recorded the entire video first then added the audio latter a bit by bit. I think that this is way it sounds a little weird that is why from now on I always record both at the same time.

    I think that it should be fairly good. It will be a lot better then using the handle bar mount. I have put a GoPro on the boom of a 29er before. When I did that I ran a rope from the camera to the boom. This way if the mount broke the camera would still be attached to the boat.
    If you have not see it yet check out the video "Adding A Securing Loop: GoPro Mounting Tips & Tricks" I feel this is the best way to tie on the camera.

    You can buy a tripod mount or if you have one use the handle bar mount. If you do not have ether of those you can use an extender bar and placed inside the pole and then hold it in place some how, bolts or epoxy work well.

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  11 лет назад +1

    This was one of my early edits the audio is made up of hundreds of short clips. Since then I have worked on getting the audio to flow better, recording long clips at a time.

    You could try some kind of walking / hiking pols. If that fails maybe the hardware store for some piping

    I will have to agree with you and say that using the “seatpost handlebar mount” is a viable way to make a GoPro pole.

    @TheLambo7 Yes I know I have one of those mounts. I have 3 problems with using the handle bar mount;
    #1 I find that the mount is a LOT bigger, mounting like how it is show in the video is nice and compact.
    #2 I have found that the handle bar mount is not always that secure this can lead to some movement (shake) in the video.
    #3 I find that the handle bar mount dose not attach well to smaller diameter ski poles, I have seen this fixed with a lot of tape but I am not a big fan of that.

  • @orldoming

    The pant that I was using was old and did not spray that well. So the final coat was quite rough. I did not sand it much and it was with really fine paper.

  • @joeflash7171
    @joeflash7171 10 лет назад

    Very cool, I like the walking stick idea (fixed lenght) but I am using a monopod to give me different lenght from one foot to five feet. but thats my DIY...

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  12 лет назад

    That is a good point but if I wanted to that I would just use the handle bar mount.

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  12 лет назад

    @Pablo223523 I think that I would that I would try 36” that is the length of the one that you can buy. As you can see from the clip of skiing at the beginning of the video the legs are cut off. With the new HERO2 and the wider viewing angle of 170° this has gotten better. You will also notice that I am using the 960p setting this is the best way to go for skiing and snowboarding as it is a more square shot and will capture more of the athlete.
    Let me know if there is anything else.

    @5firestars
    First I would like to say that we are talking about the same mount it is listed on the GoPro site as the “Handlebar Seatpost Mount”. The bigger one we are thinking of is the “Roll Bar Mount”
    Second I would have to say that if done right the Handlebar Mount could work. However I would rather not need Gorilla Tape and from a price point of view the Handlebar Mount is $19.99 where as the “Tripod Mount” is only $7.99.
    These are just some of my thoughts let me know what you think.

    but using the handlebar mount works well to, just make sure you try mounting it to the pole once before you go skiing

  • @bub160
    @bub160 11 лет назад

    Hey nice video! haha i noticed that you ended up shattering the cutting wheel. Ive had that happen before and its a good idea to make sure your not in line with the heel when cutting or just wear glasses. Thanks Kyle!

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  11 лет назад

    Thanks and sweet

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  11 лет назад

    Your best bet is go to a hardware store and find the one that fits best. With nuts and bolts you can note easy change from metric to imperial.

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  12 лет назад

    No that is for when I use it over the water. I have a video showing how to add that.

    It is true, lock washers and a wing nut should be real strong

  • @FanatikBuilds
    @FanatikBuilds 11 лет назад

    Hey man! Nice vid, and good idea! Just a tip for future use... if you screw on a nut on the side of the bolt you want to keep before you cut it, then when it's cut and smoothed, you can simply un-screw the nut, and your threads will be fine. If you have a tap and die set, you could also screw the right sized die onto the bolt prior to cutting as well. Just fyi!
    Keep up the good work man.

    If I was to make another I think that I would go about 30” or try an extendable pole the one that I have right now has trouble capturing the all of the person in the shot.

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  11 лет назад

    With most poles the diameter is too small for the adhesive mount attach well

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  11 лет назад

    that is a good reason

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  12 лет назад

    If you look through the comments you will see that this point has been brought up a lot. As a quick recap the way that I show has less vibration is more secure and a lot more professional looking.

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  12 лет назад

    Sweet does it capture your whole body in the shot?

  • @kylemartin101
    @kylemartin101  11 лет назад

    No it is not heavy I think adding a counter weight would only make the thing heaver and more of a pain to hold.

  • @markjamieson6931
    @markjamieson6931 10 лет назад

    if you put a 1/4" nut on the bolt b4 cutting it, it can be used for redyeing the bolt. i would recommend that. cut the bolt then work the nut a lot on the cut end. you never have issues that way. mark

  • @walkerthecool

    i Used the handlebar mount but it will slide around on the pole so where you want to put the mount add a few layers of tape to give it something to grip to.

    @GoProSecond 11 лет назад

    I am going skiing with my GoPro, and I want to mount the camera to a pole.
    Do you think it will be good enough to use the GoPro Handlebar mount, to mount it to the ski pole, or would a specifically designed pole like yours be a lot better?
    I just think it might be annoying to have another pole with me all day, since I also have to carry my two ski poles..
