Hi Mic, This Gramma of 73 years, loves and watches all your videos. Recently took my GoPro to the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon and got some great footage from the rim of the Grand Canyon and many great shots of Bryce Canyon. Some 50 years ago, hubby and I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, too bad we didn't have those Go Pros back then.

[@MicBergsma]

Aloha Karen! Thank you so much! Aw man yes I know how that feel about no GoPros years ago but stoked y'all did again! I love Grand Canyon!!

[@frfr335]

Really well put together video and clearly explained too, cheers!

[@Getawaymoments]

Excellent! DIY at it's best.

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Larry!

[@OzzieTech]

Very cool setup I will have to try it out myself.

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks! Cool 😄🙌🏼

[@BigDaveTALKS]

My favorite feature is how the Super View is no longer distorted like it is on the other models. I stopped using Super View on my Hero 7.

[@wrinklyrider]

Great idea and excellent video !

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you Douglas!

[@silversix65]

Awesome as usual. Greetings from Argentina.

[@MicBergsma]

Mahalo! 🤙🏼

[@sbrews]

Awesome. And perfect timing - have been looking for a handle to use on a small platform that holds a GoPro and dive light. I wasn’t finding anything close to what I wanted. Your howto - with some minor mods for what I want - is perfect.

[@MicBergsma]

Right on!! 😄👍🏼

[@CusterUK1]

WOW! Great bit of DIY. Cheaper than a original pole or selfie stick. I know what I'm going to be doing when I get some spare time.... Cheers!!

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@annalonasolis5132]

Wow that’s amazing 😱

Awesome Mick !

Thanks Ben!

[@jenyr19]

FANTÁSTICO!!!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[@mrnavy2]

Excellent. Thanks for the tip and instructions

[@NeverMetTheGuy]

You enthusiasm is unparalleled; another great video, my good man.

[@drewgeyerr]

Great video! Immediately clicked on notification!

[@francescovozzo3584]

Amazing nice idea

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks!

[@goriopukolo]

whooaa,...smart guy,...love you micbergs....., can't wait to see your vw bus update video ...

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼 Thanks! Yeah! Next bus video coming next week!

[@smitthone]

Driving the moisture out either by letting the tube in the sun or with an hair dryer before plugging it might help

[@MicBergsma]

Oh yeah someone should do that when it's humidity around...

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Hi mic. Great tip! Hey how's your drone stuff going? I am waiting for a video haha. I just did an awesome compilation of all my best footage in Australia with my mavic 2 pro. Next I'll be doing one from the Great Barrier Reef !

[@Peloz007]

I really missed your DIY videos!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@MicBergsma]

Good to know! 😄🙌🏼

[@isegrim1978]

And you could even paint the inside to give it a really popping and scratch-resistant colour.

[@MicBergsma]

Oh yeah! Can do anything inside!

[@blutey]

You have some pretty neat practical skills!

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼 Thanks!

[@catasamify]

Nice job! 👍

[@99armaniex]

This video gave me goosebump. I am afraid of water.

[@Sofalovesmusic]

Cool video, but instead of rinsing parts that have microplastic from sanding, give then a treatment with a hoover instead so the microplastic doesn't end up in the sea ;)

[@MicBergsma]

I'm soooo disappointed what I did, ugh I can't believe I didn't think of that 😞 Thanks for the comment!

[@Shana.Browngedge]

Great diy, I really want to make one too!!! Thank you

[@MicBergsma]

You're welcome! You would like it!

[@dinosauradventures173]

Maybe just add a plastic cord fastener for adjusting the string at the end, but not bad overall.

[@MicBergsma]

Yeah you can do that... I am not fan of that thing... I took them off on all poles I owned 🤭

[@dinosauradventures173]

Guess its a personal preference. You do what works best for you, and I do what works best for me. You’re mostly in the water, and for me its the mountains.

[@isaacwerk]

I gotta try this 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Kengra Media Whoo! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Man I love your channel! I'm a fabricator for an Oceanography department at a University. If you ever need any help building something give me a shout!

[@gadielespinoza199]

What are your settings for the gopro hero 7 black, because the footage looks so professional that my question

[@MicBergsma]

I am making a video about it, coming soon! Thank you!

[@gadielespinoza199]

Thank you

[@e.alvarez4686]

Pretty cool 😎 🤙

Mahalo!

[@yellowflower2067]

Cool!!! I love his videos. 😄

[@MicBergsma]

Mahalo!

[@theoblivious2001]

I’ve had the same experience with my Evo bud. It randomly stopped screwing all the way in. My Reach also broke since I never bothered to rinse it with fresh water I bet 🧐

[@MicBergsma]

Ahh yeah bummer!

[@vrushabhdeogirikar]

amazing

[@raldyywald1072]

May I ask what is the brand or company name of the monopod that you compare to your D.I.Y?

[@MicBergsma]

just look up online "clear pole for gopro" you will see

[@theoblivious2001]

Mitch with a great new video! (Haven’t watched it yet, but I know it’s really great!)

[@Tarichenycity]

NICE

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks!

[@nellomaxim]

The pole is not my thang but there were some nice techniques in there I can use for other hacks ;) very cool mic

[@MicBergsma]

Sweet! Thanks

[@matti3908]

you can also fill the pole with water - it will look even more invisible

[@Pete_R63]

Nice job! How about one of those little (don't know what they are called) sort of spring loaded pinch clip on the wrist strap so you can tighten it up on your wrist. (just looked it up on Amazon- plastic spring toggle clip cord) when you see it, you'll know what I mean!

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Pete! Yeah! Many ways to make a lanyard... 😄👍🏼

[@Pete_R63]

@@MicBergsma When I get off my lazy can and start making more videos, I'll be wearing one of my new MicBergsma shirts in at least one of them.

just genious...tnx Mic (y)

[@MicBergsma]

Anytime!!

[@freeridetony]

Such a nice video, stay blessed

[@parraeels1990]

Off topic Mitch and people. I have a gopro hero 5 session and the lens is cracked, like the actual part that captures everything has a crack. Is it replaceable or does anyone have the hookup please, please. I love the hero session design and would love to restore it/ replace it. GoPro HQ does not help and offers discount o buy the 7 lol

[@mokokawi]

Cool Mitch 😎

[@JAMES.B1970]

First and great video

[@drewgeyerr]

james Barrera no I was first

[@DeafMacBoi]

Make one for me!

[@lamarcy]

Really cool. I love it!!! Can you sell me the extra one that you've made?

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks!! I gave it to my friend 😬

[@feirdaussb]

clean work mic..pls do 1 for me and ship to Malaysia :-P

[@benjaminpigeon923]

How the material cost ? (Not the tools)

[@MicBergsma]

about $20

[@benjaminpigeon923]

@@MicBergsma Ok thanks 😁 you are the best 😉😊

[@leemurphy4294]

anyone have a link to the tubing on eBay?

[@MicBergsma]

Lee Murphy just copy the title in description then paste it on eBay

[@Northisbest]

Cool good job. You can make more to sell for people want buy from you !

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks! Yeah I could....

Класс! Молодец ты! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@KKAAAWWAA]

BIG LIKE! :)

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼

[@shavinmccrotch9435]

If you filled it with water before you sealed it, it would be even clearer. It would be very nearly invisible underwater.

[@MicBergsma]

Shavin McCrotch haha I thought about that but if add water then pole will be heavy and won’t float at all. I might try that 😂😂👍🏼

[@shavinmccrotch9435]

MicBergsma Bah! Too heavy. 🙄 Work those muscles. It keeps you sexy. 😘 Maybe try 7" of pool noodle for a handle. That might keep it afloat.

[@patricepatoche8949]

🙏🙏🙏

[@bertiedog1]

Love the vids, but 4 (yes, 4) ADVERTS for an 11 minute video ruins the great atmosphere you create and disrupts the flow.....

[@erbsl99]

Hi Mic! I'm so sorry, but as you know working with 4K Videos in KZbin is wasting electrical energy without gaining value. A good video is good in HD. A bad video do not become better in 4K. Therefore I cannot longer subscribe your channel.
