Keep the DIY ideas flowing people.
On the Kona Aggressor live-aboard boat we just got off of, they had used a household paint roller handle, which has a threaded female fitting in the plastic handle part.
then they could thread on a broom stick handle for a long pole cam, or even their mooring line gaff hook that was about 10-12 foot long they could use, to capture Dophins jumping on the bow wave of the boat.
What I REALLY like about my rig, and what cost the $$$, is the Ultra Light Control system infinite multi angle rotating head mount. It'll NEVER break. 98% of all the other handles out there only give you a single axis of tilt. There are sooooooo many times where I've used a 45 degree side angle, then a 45 degree tilt.
Many different solutions out there for the DIY project.

I've ordered the mini-ipole combo, and rhino mount. Thanks for that link!

Maybe just for land use, but this is a nice compact pole cam rig that a friend uses:
