Macro Photography with the Platypod Max Kit - Bob Coates

Working with small LED lights and a macro lens is made easier with the Platypod Max. You can quickly mount the Max on top of a tripod with the machined 3/8ths inch bolt hole. With the added 1/4 inch threaded holes, you can add gooseneck supports to hold small Litra lights for exact positioning. 

The Setup:

Paired with Live View on your camera, you get a WYSIWYG ability to create. Awesome! I liken the Platypod tripods to McGuyver’s Swiss Army knife for photographers.
