Directions- Drilling
measure where you want your camera and draw a dot
try to be as accurate as possible
take your bit(i cant quite remember what size?) and start drilling
i went through about two drill bits in the process but what ever i have lots of bits.
now measure up your hole stick the screw in and boom you have your handle!>>>

Directions- Grip
The grip is not that necessary but it is worth it to have one it makes it hella more comfortable
-first what you do is find any foam or even newspaper that is lying around and roll it or ;put it around the handle part of the handle.
-now tape it
-i used hockey tape for comfort and grip but you can use duck tape
- and there you have it put it all together and film some gnar footage!
