gopro mounting (kayak)

Featured Replies

I have a gopro hero session for my kayak but have had difficulty with mounting.  Currently I have it on an extension pole placed into a rod holder.  My oroblem is that the glue on the mount will not stick for more than a couple weeks and super glue isnt much better.  The surface area on top of the pole is miniscule as it is hollow.  A 3 foot mount on amazon is $40, and requires additional purchases just to mount it and it may not even be tall enough.  Yall have any suggestions?

I use the Selfie Stick in the link below. I put it inside a rod holder attached to my milk crate.  I had to use half a pool noodle tightly taped to the handle to make it snug in the rod holder. Electrical tape worked best.

Thanks SNS.  I tried gorilla glue and it failed within 3 days so I will likely try out that stick assuming it is long enough for my application.

It is 15" minimum and extends to 47"

They do sell painters pole to camera adapters which would allow you more options as far as length goes at least.

 

A basic fixed mount on amazon is $20 you probably already have a gopro mount for a standard tripod I'd assume.

I didnt even think of a painter pole adapter mount.  I spent $25 on a carbon fiber stick that extends to 104 inches....much lighter than painter pole and should catch less air.
