I couldn’t find a tripod weighing less than 500g so I decided to make my own. 32 cm selfie stick, 3 pieces of Dyneema and 3 Ti pegs. Total weight 220g and is ideal for my new GoPro Hero 4 Silver.

Mark's walking blog 
Good idea. Could do it with a trekking pole and an Ultrapod.
Thanks Robin. Yes that might be away to do as well.
Looks good. Where’s the stick from?
The selfie stick came from a GoPro accessories add on pack from Amazon
I use Pacerpoles and there’s the capacity to use it as a camera monopod (with a camera mount which fits into the pole). You’ve given me the idea to rig some guylines to it as I’ve never found it as stable as I’d like (consequence of expensive camera hitting the deck).
Great weight saving idea.
Thank you!
Pure genius.
Thanks Alen. I have never been call that! A lot of other things but not Pure genius😄
Good idea. I have Carbon Fibre Tripod but it’s still quite heavy. I was planning to look for a Monopod but this is an idea. Just not sure if it will be stable enough for a full weight DSLR.
I love my Go Pro – cracking little piece of kit
Hi Andy, fine for my Go Pro and I see it for time lapse and night time lapse for my Go Pro which weighs next to nothing. Yes you are right a DSLR would probably make it unstable.
