Upgrade from the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod

I love my mini Manfrotto, but once I started adding mics, lights, etc onto my smartphone I started getting nervous. I really like the stability and packability of this tripod. One thing that is great for recording smartphone video on a table, is that the height of this sits at the eyeliner, which just makes setting up a shot or a directional mic so much easier.

I love the Switch pod

I always wanted the Switch pod and it doesn't disappoint. Quite lightweight in the hand but comfortable to hold. Quick set up time and always level.

Very good tripod

Very good tripod, easy to use, light and so compact. Instead of Joby's 5K, the SwitchPod is more stable, lighter and quicker to setup.

Buy the combo!

Love the combo, was using aftermarket ball heads before and they didnt conform to the head of the switchpod perfectly.

Must have product for filmmakers

This product is so useful! If you’re looking into making content, buy this now! It’s super lightweight and sturdy. I often see myself putting it on the ground when changing lenses on the go with ease. Did I mention it also helps with shaky footages?

best table top tripod

This is without doubt the best table top tripod that I have seen or used. Its height gives it a major advantage along with its ease of use. On both counts it beats the gorilla pod and other table top tripods. it is also sturdy and stable enough to use with my DSLR.Apart from that it is both well made and a very neat piece of design

BYE GORILLAPOD - HELLO SWITCHPOD

Was collecting money to buy this from long. I already had a gorillapod but for my everyday use, I found switchpod the best in use. Just one feedback for fedex delivery chain as it took a greater time than mentioned on the site. I recieved 3 days after the schedule date. Rest the product is awesome .

Very Happy customer from Australia, I ordered this product as it is hard to find in Australian retailers, I was amazed that it arrived within 3 days of the order.

Perfect alternative to GorillaPod

I was in need of a replacement for my GorillaPod. I had been holding off on buying the switchpod, but once I upgraded to a full-frame camera, I needed a table-top tripod that could handle the weight. Enter, the Switchpod. I've been using it for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoy using it.

Not perfect, but it works really well

I had long awaited this product. I wasn’t able to participate in the kickstarter, but I ordered one soon after release. It arrived from Adorama in a nice, elegant box that is actually good for storage of this thing. As for it’s function, it’s a big step up from what many vloggers were using. For the most part, it’s sturdy and easy to hold. However, the hard metal, which makes it strong, isn’t 100% comfortable to hold for a long time. It’s not bad; it just gets a little tiring on the hand. It’s lightweight and won’t weigh you down while shooting video. It seems to keep the camera just far away enough for me to get a decent selfie shot when using it in that mode. The screw attachment for the camera seems strong; I have no fear that my camera is going to fall off the thing. It has nice rubber feet for when you lay the tripod down and even a hole near the top to attach some other items. However, I’m not so sure you can change it from selfie mode to tripod with a flick of the wrist as quickly as they show it. The way it holds just isn’t that easy for me, and I accidentally threw it on the floor once trying. It can be done, but you have to hold it a certain way first. The grip handle is only present where you can hold it in selfie mode, and I like to hold it even when I am not turning the camera on myself. It’s still usable, just less comfortable. Also, the legs that come out to make the tripod don’t hold together perfectly and have started to move on me when I have the camera’s neck strap around me and am walking. I thought there were magnets to hold it together, but, if so, they aren’t very strong. With this being said, it accomplishes it’s main purpose better than anything I’ve seen out there. The selfie mode stabilized the camera well when doing a selfie shot, and the tripod mode works well for stabilizing it on a surface. If you’ve been looking for something that makes it relatively easy to switch from one mode to the other, you really need to give this a try.

The best tripod out

Great tripod

Solid pod

SwitchPod - The minimal, versatile, handheld tripod
SwitchPod works with any camera, from a phone to a DSLR and simplifies video making.

• Two 1/4"-20 threads for accessories
• Circle pad to protect base of camera

Handheld to Tripod in Seconds
Switch between handheld and tripod modes (and back again) in seconds. Filming yourself is not 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 time between shots so you can focus more on shooting and less on messing with your gear.

Here's How It Works

SwitchPod works with any camera
No more fussing with tripod mounting plates, our embedded 1/4-20" standard tripod screw and tightening knob will help you attach any camera in seconds.

Opens and closes quickly
Move easily from shot to shot and waste no time setting up. Magnets help to keep the legs collapsed together while in vlogging mode, but are gentle enough that, with the flick of your wrist, you can easily switch to tripod mode.

Easy to hold
Finger grooves allow you to grip the SwitchPod at your comfort level anywhere along the neck. If your camera is heavy, choke up. If it's light, slide down.

Non-slip feet
Discreet, recessed feet allow you to set your camera down quietly on a surface without it sliding away.

Quickly attach or remove your camera
The tightening knob allows you to switch cameras swiftly while ensuring that any camera is safely attached.

Take it anywhere
The thin and lightweight design allows you to easily slip it into any camera bag, pocket or fanny pack (if you're THAT cool).

Strong enough to hold heavy rigs and won't sag
Despite its lightweight design, the SwitchPod is incredibly strong and made of an aluminum alloy (not plastic). It will support a heavy camera, lens, microphone and more without breaking or slowly collapsing.

Add your own quick release plates or ball heads
Have a bunch of tripods with the same quick release adapters Modify the SwitchPod by adding your own quick release plate. Need a ball head You can add that too.

Accessorize
Use the two 1/4-20" threads on the legs to add a mic, a monitor, an LED light or your Hello Kitty keychain.

Ready to Roll
Turn your SwitchPod into a full video rig!
