This ( http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=14 ) plus ski pole works really well, and you don't have to carry around an extra handle, just your poles like normal and then you can just mount your gopro whenever you want to start filming.

if you you still have any tacks....
go to walmart and buy a foldable cane,
they have some that like fit into your pocket which is preeety cool
Then take the mount ... stick it on
then ymount you go pro,
if you want to fiml some one super smooth as a follow cam
take the 90* pivoter and make it face sideways
usally this wors really well
OHHH and the coolest mounting for a handle... I DONT OWN THIS ONE butttt apperently some one mounted a go pro on their dick!!!!!
what!?!
i know
thats gay,,, but still
i can see go pros being used in like pornos now

a friend and i just built one.
we got an extendable shower curtain rod, so it goes from 36" to 63"
then we drilled a hole in one end and put a 1/4" bolt through it and then a nut on the bolt, then just screw the tripod mount onto the bolt

super easy
