The Pod Camera Support
I’ve had a small version of The Pod for a few years. I keep it in my car and have used it for all kinds of photography. It’s really pretty ingenious. It’s just a small beanbag with a tripod mount on it. I throw mine in the backpack when I’m going mountain biking and do a lot of side-of-the-road shots on road trips with it. I find it especially useful for shooting with long lenses that have tripod collars. I can shoot at much slower shutter speeds and as a result, use a lower ISO setting for better image quality. It works great on the roof of the car or fence posts. And it’s a lot easier to carry in my mountain bike backpack than an actual tripod. Best of all, the most expensive model, The Silver Pod, only costs $39.99. The smaller Pods are all under $20.
The Pod may be difficult to find in the USA, because the US distributor stopped carrying them. But B&H still carries The Pod, and you can order them directly from The Pod Web site in Canada.
