Offroad S21 5g Selfie Stick

[Mike Soda]

So I've recently started recording some offroading in my 2000 Dakota 4x4. The phone mount I got works fine inside but when I'm riding with someone else I need a super gripy selfie stick. I know gimbals are an option but most are too short. I'm looking for something like a RAM Mount with white knuckle grip but a 1-2 ft heavy duty pole. Doesn't need to be extendable, only makes it weaker. I've been checking for hours but so far only found garbage. I use a otterbox defender case so it needs to go around that too. I'd get a gopro but they ain't $100 anymore lol.

Buy a phone mount, preferably a cheap one but with good grip on the phone.

Buy a steel pipe

Buy epoxy glue

Buy a badminton/tennis handle strap

Piece them all together

 

edit : Buy remote shutter button.

How about including a drawing or pic of what the final product is supposed to look like so the builder has an idea of what he is doing?  Just an  idea, IMHO.  I tried to come up with an idea but just couldn't come up with anything.

 

Take care and good luck.

Too lazy to draw something right now.

Basically just design it the way selfie stick is designed.
- Strap the phone mounting to one end of steel pipe, use epoxy glue for increased strength.

 = Simplest way I can think of right now to make it look like selfie stick as much as possible is to just buy a cheap selfie stick then transfer either the whole phone mount part or everything aside the extendable stick to the pipe. Or the mount system that OP linked will do fine too I surmise

 

- Cover the other end of the pipe with tennis racket strap for better hand grip.

 

- You'll need a remote shutter button. (don't need to buy if you re-use the shutter on the dismantled selfie stick)

 

Done.

Thanks for the reply.  I guess I'm too old to figure it out for myself.  I did a google search on "selfie stick" to get an idea of what it was.  Thanks anyways.

 

Take care and good luck.
