Trekking Pole Monopod for Small Camera/Camcorder

Step 3Mount

Mount
Cut two pieces (or one big piece) of your gasket stuff long enough to fit around your trekking pole and wide enough for one (or both) flanges of the mount. Hold them in place against the pole with tape if necessary. Then cut out two more pieces to go over the flanges.

Next, slide a hose clamp all the way up to the handle, then place the mount against the gasket stuff so that the mount is sticking out on the left (right if you're left handed) side of the handle (from a 1st person perspective), place one of the gasket pieces over the top flange, slide the hose clamp over it, and tighten just enough to get it to stay. Repeat for the lower half and adjust until the mount is in the right spot. Now tighten the hose clamps the rest of the way, but not so tight that you risk denting your trekking pole.

Mount your camera, loosen/tighten the lock nuts to taste, and you're done!
