Cheap sturdy extendable GoPro pole *how-to*

I know there is 1,000 write ups on making this but here is my little project: picked up and inexpensive extendable aluminum paint pole from Home Depot. I am going to modify it to accept and lock into the Scotty base. Here is where I am at so far.

also get a float door + noodle foam in case you drop it in the water

That as well. Mine will include a rod leash attached to the pole

Thanks for sharing Jeff.  I'm lazy so bought 1 of the selfie stick (XTGPMP43  Extendable 8" - 43" Handheld Monopod Mount for GoPro & Action Cameras) for $12.49 at Wally world.

I am using this to mount behind me to get a down and forward view while I'm fishing and use remote to record/stop
