The Monster Pod

The MonsterPod has no telescoping legs, clamps, or straps. Instead, it sticks to surfaces via a "viscoelastic morphing polymer", think of it as a giant wad of extra-sticky Silly Putty. Just screw the MonsterPod™ into your camera and press it against any surface until you peel it off.

Warning the MonsterPod website was apparently designed by a lovely old lady whose eyesight is GOING and it must be one of the biggest one page website on the net. The monsterPod will be available in two weeks for $29.95 plus shipping and comes in Hot Pink, Aqua Blue, Blood Red, Sunny Yellow, Bat Black, Orange Peel and Purple Monster!

Plus the website has one of the most unusual guarantees that I’ve ever seen when it comes to tripods and that is… it is guaranteed to double the pictures with you in the picture.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA - March 2, 2006 - PMA 2006 Overview

While there were plenty of mega cameras, mega booths, and mega pixels at the PMA 2 week, there was only one mega release — MonsterPod ™. What the MonsterPod™ boys lacked in flash and glitter, they made up in pure brilliance.

At first the crowd was skeptical, but as word began travel, the MonsterPod ™ boys were rock’n and roll’n and stick’n their MonsterPod™ to nearly everything in their booth and their neighbors booths too.

Crowds gathered for hours around booth 1854, hidden way back deep in the barrio, far from the bright lights and pretty girls (they call them reps), to see the father and son team stick their invention to golf clubs, snow skis, drift wood, squirrel cages, Styrofoam balls, wine bottles and even a swinging tennis racket! The crowds when wild, as the MonsterPod ™ boys launched their product into stardom – or, so it was seeming.

Basically MonsterPod ™ is a tripod head mount with a viscoelastic silicone polymer goo that will mold to practically any surface.

What this means to shutterbugs around the world, is that whether you’re hiking in the woods, skiing down the slopes, rocking climbing the Grand Canyon, traveling up the Eiffel Tower or parting with friends at home, you can simply screw this baby into your compact digital camera and press it to any surface at any angle and it will stick, creating an instant tripod.

And, it really sticks! So good, in fact, the MonsterPod ™ was stuck over 3,000+ times in 4 days at PMA 2006 – and, is still stick’n after take’n all that lick’n…

MonsterPod™ the most incredible digital camera tripod on planet earth.

Looks very cool! And very useful, too. I will give it a try. It says it doesn't hold big cameras, so my small one should be fine.
