Hand-Held Go-Pro Mount from your Garage

I know, my family has a Go-pro and its very awkward holding your pocket sized, action camera while fimling. So, how did i solve this problem, with my Hand-Held Go-pro mount made out of things you can find in your garage.


What you'll need:
-PVC Pipe (as long as you will want the handle to be)
-5mm Bolt
-5mm Nut
-5mm Washer
-Lock Washer
-Some sort of Foam or Cusion
-Hockey/Lacrosse stick Grip Tape
-Go-Pro Piviot arm

Tools:
-Hack Saw
-Files
-Drill
-5mm Drill Bit

Optional:
-Spray Paint

Step 1: Hand-Held Go-Pro Mount from your Garage

For the handle you'll want to think about what you'll be using this mount for. For instance if you're taking thin mount snorkeling or swimmy you'll probably want a shorter handle. If you're only going to use this mount as a tri-pod you'll oviously going to want to cut your PVC pipe longer so it can stand on the ground while you can still acsess all of the buttons. But since all be using my mount for a bunch of different and random things I decided to cut to about 8 Inches.

So heres what you'll do in this step:
1. Cut to your choice of length with a hack saw
2. File down the rough edges
3. (Optional) Paint your handel (I painted mine white just because it was a little dirty)

Sweet set up! What kinds of things can you attach this too?

I guess you could stick the pipe in the groun, add elbow to the end so you can have the Go-pro facing a different angle, or you can hold it. Not sure if that wanders your question ,sorry if it dosen't.
