1st you find a pole
then you attach the go pro to one end of said pole
and your done. _________________ HOTDOGS! |

If you want to go the cheap way, just get a broom and unscrew the handle and you have your pole..
Then you need to purchase this mount.
http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-Handlebar-Seatpost-HERO-Cameras/dp/B0014F5WIA
Then you can just mount it right up.
If you want to spend a little more money, you can go to home depot and get a extendable painting pole. Just make sure that they aren't to flimsy or else the weight of the go-pro on the end will make it bounce around.
Hope this helps. |

For this one, I left the black mounting clip on the bottom of the gopro and electrical taped it to the top of a broomstick handle. Right-side-up is key, sideways doesn't work out very well... It's probably smart to tie a shoe string from the gopro to a screw in the pole in case it pops loose, you'll still have it. _________________ √ |

On a few of our trips filming MTM, I literally used tree branches and a piece of floorboard. No tape, just shoelaces, haha. |
