Designed to work with any camera, smartphone, or DSLR, the handheld tripod and grip will be especially useful to vloggers on the move. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about its design and features.
Features and Benefits of the SwitchPod
SwitchPod is available to back from $69 via Kickstarter, and worldwide shipping is expected to take place sometime around August 2019. The campaign has already raised over $140,000 thanks to over 1,440 backers. This impressive support highlights the demand for a lightweight, versatile tripod that can cater to the needs of modern content creators.
One of the standout features of the SwitchPod is its lightweight and compact design. Weighing in at just 11 ounces, it is easy to carry around, making it perfect for vloggers and photographers who are always on the go. The SwitchPod is constructed from durable aluminum, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of daily use without adding unnecessary bulk to your gear bag.
The SwitchPod’s design allows for quick transitions between handheld and tripod modes. This is particularly beneficial for vloggers who need to switch between different shooting styles rapidly. The tripod’s legs can be deployed in a matter of seconds, providing a stable base for your camera or smartphone. Additionally, the SwitchPod features a universal 1/4-20 mount, making it compatible with a wide range of cameras and accessories.
User Experience and Practical Applications
“Filming yourself isn’t easy. You’re often on the go with tons of people looking at you like you’re crazy while you hold a camera in your face. You’re used to the weird looks and eye rolls, but don’t you wish your handheld tripod wasn’t so clunky? SwitchPod is lightweight, compact, and nearly indestructible. It will save you time between shots so you can focus more on shooting and less on messing with your gear.”
The SwitchPod’s ergonomic design also includes finger grooves for a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions. This is a significant advantage for vloggers who often film for long periods. The tripod’s minimalist design ensures that it doesn’t draw unnecessary attention, allowing you to focus on capturing your content without distractions.
Another practical application of the SwitchPod is its ability to function as a stable platform for time-lapse photography. The tripod’s sturdy construction ensures that your camera remains steady, resulting in smooth and professional-looking time-lapse videos. Additionally, the SwitchPod’s compact size makes it easy to set up in tight spaces, giving you more flexibility in choosing your shooting locations.
