GoPro poles/sticks/contraptions
Finally got me a GoPro, (I promise to do my best to have it never meet my bridle in freefall).

What's the preferred (telescopic) pole of choice for mounting ? I am talking both for freefall and for just exit point. I want something that can be extended pretty long.

tnx

PS a piece of 9ft PVC pipe works acceptable, but is not what I call BASE friendly :)

not exactally a great idea, but provides some extreally cool shots is a 3 piece collapsable ski pole. that is what is used in the GoPro BASE video on their website.

you can connect the camera to it with duct tape or the ride hero mount(easier to change angles).

I bought the narwhale mount from dhracer33.
It's very nice but be sure to really tighten the skrews when you fix it, it already hit me in my mouth 2 times after hard openings. It hurts but it looks funny on video...
