SwitchPod

If you are a vlogger or a videographer, you have probably struggled to transition between holding your camera out in front of you and setting it down on a flat surface. SwitchPod is a minimal, versatile, handheld tripod that makes this transition a breeze. The lightweight contraption lets you switch between handheld to tripod mode (and back again) in seconds, saving you time between shots by focusing more on shooting and less on messing with your gear. Magnets keep the hole thing stuck together for a functional grip, and with the flick of your wrist, you can easily switch to tripod mode. It comes with a  standard tripod screw and tightening knob, making it compatible with most cameras. watch the video below
