Action Camera Handle Mount
I recently bought a $20 nock off of a GoPro and it didn't come with many mounts so today I'm going to create a handle to do water sports with. The tripod mount it came with isn't a normal one where you can screw a bolt in so I am modifying a design, I hope you enjoy

Use the heat gun or torch to heat the pipe until its soft and moldable. Stick the tripod mount in the hole and use pliers and gloves to press the soft pipe.
