    Conns Cameras have a selection. The cheap sellfie sticks are too fragile so avoid those:

    If all else fails you could buy an extendable kids hiking pole in the resort village and use the gopro pole mount.
    I used one last year and it work perfect, extends to about 1 meter. Cost me €12.

    I use an SP POV pole. It's done about 4 weeks so far.

    Now if you want to be really cool use a pole mount on a branch.

    I got one in powercity last weekend. Not sure if they have a store in Limerick though. Was about €15 or €16, has the Bluetooth connection, seems to be decent build quality.

    I've seen them in the Vodafone shop in Dublin. Possibly stocked in their stores nationwide?
