This
seems like an obvious invention but
it is quite brilliant. A long
telescoping pole with a camera screw
on the end. Dooh. Why didn't I think
of that? It lets you elevate
your
digital camera or small camcorder
high above the crowd to get shots of
the band at a concert. It lets you
carry the camera down low to get
dramatic shots from ground or shoe
level. You can even use it to take
shots of yourself - that actually
look good!
With a
little practice, it is a great
little accessory for getting
yourself into the shots when there
is no one else around to hold the
camera for you. This is extremely cool
for when you are traveling or are on
a great adventure.
There's a little mirror gizmo so you
can see what you are aiming at.
And for
those times you need a tripod but
were too lazy to carry one, the Quik
Pod even includes a tripod leg
extender to make it simple to get a
professional looking, steady shot.
It folds down and fits into your
backpack, or big pocket or purse...
All for
under $30!

====================================
Most vacation and holiday photos
have the same problem; someone’s
missing from almost every shot – the
photographer. Sure you can try to
set the timer and get back into
frame in time, or you can break down
and sheepishly ask a stranger to
take the picture for you, but those
shots rarely turn out the way you
planned.
Quik Pod™
is the perfect gift, enabling the
photographer to be included in the
photos and videos. Retailing for
less than $30.00, the compact and
lightweight Quik Pod

Patent Applications published and is
designed for point and shoot
cameras, camcorders, lightweight
DSLR, waterproof cameras and for
remote lighting. The Quik Pod

tabletop in seconds.

photo/video blogs, the Quik Pod is made

aluminum, weighs less than 3.5
ounces and comes with a built in

and even into hard to reach areas.
The Quik
Pod Pro+ includes a lightweight
tripod leg adapter.
Families
