Testimonials

“It is the smallest, (most) lightweight, most cleverly designed camera support out there period”

SCOTT KELBY // KELBYONE

I love its small size. There is really no reason not to have it

RICHARD HARRINGTON // PHOTOFOCUS

One of my favorite ‘Sammonisms’ is, use your hand-held camera like a drone. In other words, move your camera up and down, tilt it and move it side to side for creative angles. Thanks to Platypod I was able to follow my own advice while photographing this woman in a rural village in China.
