I couldn't be more proud to have Platypod as an SCU partner, but what most of you don't know is that Chamira Young and I are directly involved in helping them with their marketing efforts. It's a remarkable company with a product line that's giving photographers a different perspective and expanding the creative tools we have for capturing great images.

This past week Platypod announced a prelaunch program on Kickstarter for Platyball. The company completed two very successful Kickstarter campaigns in the past. They're known for keeping their promises and producing products whose quality always exceeds expectations.

Meet Platyball - the next new member of the family.

Platyball presents a new, revolutionary way to level.  Featuring an inverted design, single-handed ergonomics, and a unique twist-action Arca compatible clamp, they've literally taken the classic tripod head design and turned it upside down.  Redesigned from the ground up, the Platyball becomes an extension of your hand and allows you to level your camera better than ever before quickly. It is heavy duty and accurate to 0.5 a degree.

As part of the Kickstarter campaign, there's a special promotion for first-day backers of a FREE Platypod Ultra. All the details will be shared during the launch on Scott Kelby's show, "The Grid" on January 15 at 4:00pm EST.   

Make sure you're on the launch notification list, so you're notified the minute the Kickstarter campaign goes live on Wednesday. Just click on the button button below.

​Headed to IUSA next week? Stop by Platypod in booth 157 and check out Platyball for yourself. Plus the Max-Macro bundle is back in the online store by popular demand. It includes the new goosenecks, two Litra Torch 2.0 lights. Litra will be in the IUSA booth as well.

In the meantime, enjoy this thirty second clip from the upcoming video! Then, imagine what the rest of the video is going to be like!


​This is a kick!

Yes...I don't think there's any standard tripod it won't fit. Tune in on Wednesday to The Grid - I think you'll be blown away by the full video.
