I've never really been into making stuff before but it's quite satisfying knowing you created something that works and people like.

Thought I'd share it with you guys and see what you think, especially any GoPro users out there

Nylon66 with 1/4" stainless thread. Took a while to get a grip that would match the tripod mount and then find the right material to go inside the handle but got there in the end.

A few guys that use them for surfing are buying cheap monopods of Ebay, then cutting most of it off to give just a handle. Costs less than a fiver and minimal effort.

No and No

Can't see the point in having expensive grips on there to be honest. It's not like your life depends on being able to hold on.
