Introducing The Pod - The pod is for larger cameras and camcorders. Weighing less than 1lb, the pod is ideal when you can't use a tripod but still want sharp pictures.

Review: Small And Mighty Handy - An excellent small photographic "bean bag." I like it's size...small enough to carry in your camera bag but large enough to be workable. Also the attached 1/4 x 20 stud allows you to mount a lens/camera on the bag. (A super feature.) In addition the bag is well made and comes with filling.
Review: Must have. Buy yourself one. - Absolute must have for videos or time lapse at any level! Add one to your videography arsenal!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Functional
*by B***N on August 27, 2007*

A perfectly functional small tripod substitute, it works well for me as a dashboard camera mount, whereas some other small proper tripods have had a bit too much height. One quirky thing about the design: this is a bean bag that is sealed with velcro. It is not sewn shut, and even before I had opened the package some of the blue plastic beans had started to leak. I would not want my toddler to get anywhere near this.
