SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 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?
We’ve designed something better. Meet SwitchPod.
SwitchPod is lightweight, compact, and nearly indestructible. It will save you valuable time between shots so you can focus more on shooting and less on messing with your gear.
- SwitchPod works with any camera.
- It opens and closes quickly.
- It’s easy to hold.
- It has nonslip feet to keep your camera from sliding off surfaces.
- It has a tightening knob to quickly attach or remove your camera.
- It is lightweight and slim, so can it be taken anywhere and packed easily.
- It is strong enough to hold heavy video rigs and won’t sag or collapse like others.
- You can add your own quick release plates and ball heads.
- You can add a mic, a monitor, or a LED light to complete your full vlogging rig with two ¼20” threads.

Yeah I don't really see it as being a tripod, more as a camera holder. And it does seem limiting for being able to set it down on a variety of surface heights. But I don't think that is what it is meant for.
Here’s why the Gorilla Pod is dead!
When I want a tripod I use a tripod, when I want to hang my camera from a tree or fix it to the top or side of a post I use the Gorilla Pod, I don’t see how that can grip a tree, (confession, it looks so meh I didn’t read or watch all about it!) and I’m certain I have a little table top tripod that is as much use as that and I will never get the selfie thing. Why will this work when a selfie stick for a phone is a metre (yard) long?
I won’t be investing, I’m out!
Cheers, Graham.
