“Featuring a unique twist-action Arca-compatible clamp. Perfect level pans every time. Featuring inverted design with panning turntable at the top so there’s no need to level your tripod legs or Platypod.Single hand operation for speed and safety, letting you have one hand for the Platyball and the other hand on the shutter button or lens.”

“The Platyball project has been 4 years in the making. The biggest hurdle was searching far and wide for the finest designers and engineers to help bring our dream to a reality. We have an amazing team assembled that was able to incorporate our requests and achieve a product that was previously thought to be impossible. Our prototypes work well, but we will continue over the next several months to tweak and refine the product so that when it goes into production it will be perfect.”
