01 | Iris with the Platypod Handle and Bob Coates
This was put together using focus stacking with 64 images. Captured with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III, 60mm Macro Lens and the focus stack capture mode. After the images were captured they were then loaded into Helicon Focus stacking software (http://heliconsoft.com). Once the image was rendered it went through Adobe Photoshop and NIK Color EFX Pro 5. Selective sharpening and blurring were used to enhance the painterly feel.

02 | The Platypod Handle with Stewart Wood
This new handy tool has been configured to work with all of your standard photography gear. One of the ways Stewart mentions he likes to use his handle is by staging it directly over his table to show a full overhead view of his tutorials (shown in the video) and more. If you only want to raise your camera 3" you can use the compacted version of the handle which will allow for a low angle portrait shot with a little rise to be able to configure your camera without being restricted by your tripod base.
This is a great accessory to add onto your tripod especially if that tripod does not have an extender option built in. That feature combined with the 8, 1/4" accessory inputs allows you to attach your gooseneck arm with a clamp, light or other accessory to hold your background or subject.
03 | Kentucky Oaks Derby Race with Platypod Handle and Skip Dickstein
Platypod Ambassador, Skip Dickstein put his Platypod Handle to the test at the Derby for the Kentucky Oaks race. While there were many tripod setups, Skip boasted how much he loves the way that you can modify and extend the height of the Handle (to a max 10.5" tall) and to its smaller height (a minimum of 3").
"I felt like I had an advantage over other tripod setups because I had the rapid extension options available with my Platypod Handle. I was also able to easily pan for a variety of capture angles."
