Cameron, i just grabbed an extension handle from Bunnings. You'll find them in the section with the brooms and mops. Cost was around $11. I then grabbed a meter of soft foam tubing from clarks rubber and cut a length around 15cm long to go over the handle end as a form of grip. The tubing just slid over the handle and used glue at each end to stop slipping. Used a small amount of tubing at the other end (around 5cm) and placed that on to help dampen any vibrations passing thru to the camera. To mount the camera to the pole, purchase a handlebar or bullbar mount depending on the size of your pole diameter. Pole sits around 45cm in length and extends out to 75cm.
