Replying to Need GoPro pole mount help....

Here's my deal:
I just recently got a pole mount for my GoPro in order to shoot not only myself, but my peers. I realized that it fits too loosely at the bottom (thinnest) part of the pole and therefore, hindering my goal of filming my friends with my ski pole. any suggestions on how to make this work? My two solutions so far have been taping around the bottom to add thickness or just using a different object other than a ski pole.

anyone's 2 cents on the subject would be much appreciated.
