DIY Kayak Monopod for GoPro / Camera


Whether you want a better viewing angle for filming your adventures, need a better vantage point to capture your catch with you in the picture, or need a flexible way to use your GoPro ingeneral while on your kayak, a monopod which fits in your rod holders will be of great help.

This monopod costs under $25 and can extend to 6 feet in length, and have the GoPro tilt forward, backwards, side to side, and rotate 360 degrees.

Note that this is an improvement of the original DIY Camera Mount by Palmetto Kayak Fishing.


What You'll Need:
  • Targus TG-MP6710 Monopod (12.99 @ Radioshack)
  • Professional Mini Ball Head Camera Mount ($13 @ Amazon)
  • All original tools/materials from original Palmetto Kayak Fishing blog.


Basically the idea behind this tutorial is to add the ball mount to any monopod, but particularly the DIY monopod as it will provide you with additional rotation while keeping your project under budget.
