The special feature of the new SwitchPod tripod is the ability to transform it from a small tripod to a handheld tripod in a flash. Its carrying capacity is large enough to work with any camera (including DSLRs with lens). It is ideal for e.g. Vloggers who need a tripod for handheld selfie shots as well as a small tripod for static shots. ![]() SwitchPod
So far, Jobys GorillaPod has fulfilled this dual task for many filmmakers - however, depending on the payload, it cannot always be kept quite stable. SwitchPod wants to outdo the GorillaPod with a higher stability and a simpler setup (it can be unfolded from handheld mode to tripod in seconds with one hand). ![]() SwitchPod In addition, the SwitchPod, made of an aluminum alloy, has an enormous payload of up to 45 kg - but weighs only 315 grams itself. Its handle is made in such a way that it can be held comfortably along its entire length. Accessories such as a microphone, monitor or LED light can be attached via two lateral 1/4-20" holes. ![]() SwitchPod SwitchPod has a 1/4-20" standard screw for direct mounting of a camera and a bracket for ball heads and quick-release plates. The Kickstarter campaign is already well over the target with almost a quarter of a million dollars and is still running for 50 days - so the project will be successfully financed. A SwitchPod (all black) costs 79 dollars, two 149 dollars and five 349 dollars. ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: SwitchPod: Mini-Dreibein-Stativ und Handstativ in Einem |
