I need a clamp for a gopro that will go on a 10-12 inch round pole... I have googled but am getting lost :( Any idea anyone please? I can use a standard screw same as any tripod as i have converters to gopro
 
First thought was using cable ties not come up with a second thought yet. Yes i have now, have you looked at 12inch pipe clamps? may b able to modify one of those. something like one of these you can modify

Cableties plus a mountplate or may be a gopro helmet strap from Amazon?
Just ideas, not done so myself

Depends on the strap!

Something like neoprene fishing rod bands (only longer) would do the job. https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/15903468/ngt-2pc-rod-bands-made-up-rods-15903468 They're stretch neoprene with Velcro hooks.

You could make something similar (but not stretchy) using double sided Velcro tape. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Yard-Reel-Case-91881/dp/B00JWU77N2

Ten inch circumference? Then you might find a neoprene strap that will do the job - or 'stick' two together. As well as being stretchy the neoprene will be grippy too.

What you want is one of those elastic straps they use when they take blood samples.
It would be easy to mock something up with it.

That might work.....

A couple of Velcro tourniquets linked together for length and strongly elastic enough to "grip" the pole!

I must be getting mixed up... 3inch is not in this :) its 10 inch accross then... I need the clamp to go 10 inch wide... I have the manfrotto super clamp.. no good at all
 
How about a roof rack strap with go pro mount attached? These are very quick to get on and off and grip very tight.
 
Of course I don't think there are any pole dancers that are members on here that can advise on the best grip

Could a cambuckle strap work with a mount plate? Could melt a hole through the strap for a bolt or fixing
