Platypod innovates in photography, again!
Platypod, a well-known brand in the camera accessory market and a company that I’m proud to say I’m on the Pro Team with, has released a new product that has caught the attention of photographers worldwide in the build-up to the KickStarter launch. The product is an extendable camera support that doubles as a handle, providing users with the perfect combination of stability and versatility.
The Platypod Handle is a must-have for any photographer who wants to take their photography to the next level. The support handle is designed to provide a stable and secure base for cameras, ensuring that shots are sharp and free from blurs caused by camera shake. Its extendable feature makes it highly adjustable, allowing photographers to capture photos from various angles and heights. Not only does it extend, but also collapses to half its height, too.
The handle feature of the product is another unique aspect that photographers are sure to appreciate. It allows users to carry their camera around with them easily, without having to worry about packing it away in a bag. The handle is comfortable to hold, providing users with a firm and secure grip even when shooting in challenging conditions. It’s particularly good for bloggers and those who want to set a camera at a low height on a desk, particularly for a ‘talking head’ video piece.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Platypod Handle is its compact design. It is small and lightweight, making it highly portable and easy to carry around. This feature is especially beneficial for photographers who travel frequently or need to shoot on location.
The Platypod Handle is compatible with most cameras and accessories, making it highly versatile. It can be used with a range of cameras, from mirrorless to DSLRs, and even with smartphones. Its compatibility with accessories such as flashes and microphones makes it even more useful for photographers who require additional equipment to capture their shots.
I’ve been using the handle for some time now, field testing it and trying to break it. I have to report that I haven’t been able to break it and, during the entirety of my Due North II adventure, it served as the grip for support for my vlogging rig, perfectly. The Platypod system allowed me to use the Platypod eXtreme, Platyball Elite, and the handle together as a perfectly functional weighted gimbal rig.
The Platypod Handle is an excellent addition to the product line of Platypod, providing photographers with a versatile and stable base for their cameras. Its compact design and compatibility with most cameras and accessories make it a must-have for any photographer, whether they are a professional or an amateur. With its innovative features, the Platypod Handle is sure to be a popular choice among photographers worldwide.
Much love
