DIY StickPic - Plus Tips & Tricks For Better Outdoor Videos

How to make a homemade Stick Pic for about a dollar... as well as a look at a couple of other low cost options for mounting your camera or video camcorder in order to get different angled shots when shooting in the outdoors.

In this video we take a quick look at throwing together a DIY version of the Stick Pic to allow mounting your video camera to your trekking pole, tree branch, and fishing pole in order to capture more creative shots than are possible by merely holding the video cam in your hand. We also take a look at some other options for capturing more diverse and creative angles in your YouTube videos. I've also included a pretty cool little trick for a simple, yet effective image stabilization system.

Hey bud great idea...I was wondering is it sturdy enough to not break off when you cast?

[intenseangler]

@TieOneOnFishingProd Thanks friend! I usually make sure I've got a good grip on it when I make a cast... I've lost waaaay to much stuff in the water over the years, lol.
