Time for a catch up in the world of Video Hero!
Switch to the SwitchPod?
Did you see this new Kickstarter project for a Vlogging tripod called the SwitchPod? π (there it still an opportunity to back it!)
It's for holding your camera out in front of you as you Vlog, or putting down on a table, ground or wall etc. for steady shots on the go.
I own a bulky Gorilla Tripod similar to this one - but it is fiddly to set up quickly and can fall over when placed on a surface.
Yes - it's flexible but can be awkward .. so how about the SwitchPod ...
The SwitchPod (note: I haven't used one) .. looks slimline for slipping into your bag and pops up and down in a jiffy.
The downside? No adjustable head for altering the angles, or bendy legs to attach to a lamppost .. you could add your own ball head.
Possibly a little bit oversized for smartphone shooters? (as opposed to DLSR, mirrorless and compact camera users) .. though that doesn't worry me personally
