Learn to convert a common BMX bike grip into a camera handle with this tutorial by fungus amungus:

When using a small camera to shoot some video it’s easy to fumble with it as you try and move the camera around. With a solid grip that screws in to the bottom of the camera it’s easier to hold and you get better footage. And if you’re going to be making a grip for a camera you might as well make it look cool and go for a colorful BMX grip.
