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. |
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. |
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.
Vloggers Best Friend
The legs feature built-in finger grooves to provide comfort when handholding, and they have large slots that keep it light, help its stability, and make it easy to strap onto a bag or carabiner for transport.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Only con is the screw, it makes a very loud squeaking noise when screwing in and seems very cheap. Please upgrade this!!
The only thing it needs is a Pan / Tilt head (which I hear is in the works) for when you set it down on an uneven surface. Sign me up for first in line if it's built anything like this piece of art.
When I saw this reviewed by Peter McKinnon I knew I had to have it. He was so right about this. 1/2 the weight, 1/6th the size of a Gorilla Pod, fits in the side of my bag, ads virtually no noticeable weight and feels so good.
Really, really well done.

Seriously, the Switchpod is awesome because of outstanding ergonomics. Apparently, one of the guys on the SwitchPod team was a design architect -- and it show. This thing is beautiful. But also incredibly functional (just like all great designs). Guess that guy was paying attention in school.
But also highly functional. Unlike the competition, it's completely sturdy. Super strong -- could probably use it to change a car tire (don't try this). Easily holds big cameras -- Canon 5D mk4 and Sony A7r3 are no problem at all for this thing. Well balanced and easy to use on the go.
My prediction -- this will end up in the camera gadget HALL OF FAME. Total win all the way around.

Only slightly bad part is once it is mounted on there’s not much you can do in terms of raising it up or lowering it.
My issue is with the quality control of the manufacturing. The product arrived with one of the magnets loose. When opening the legs for the first time, the loose magnet came completely out of the leg and stuck to the middle leg. Also, when collapsed, one leg does not lay flush with the other two due to the leg being slightly warped. So even if the magnet were secured properly, it wouldn't be able to hold the legs closed. I issued an exchange, so hopefully my second one is better.

手持ちから設置までが一瞬で出来ます、この辺の煩わしさが無いのは良いですね。
重いとレビューしている人もいますが、私にとっては軽いです。
スイッチポッド使う前は、ゴリラポッド5Kを長年使っていたので、実際の重量とグリップの掴みやすさも相まってゴリ5Kと比べると随分と軽く感じます。
何せゴリ5Kを手持ちする際は、三脚部分が持ち難いの何のって、、、。
スイッチポッドは雲台分しか角度調整出来ません、設置場所も、ある程度は平面じゃないといけませんので、その辺はゴリラポッドの方が有利です。
それと三脚として足を開いた際は、揺らすとカタカタするので、悪い評価点を付けてる方もいますが、そもそも、設置してからわざとカタカタ揺らす事なんてしませんから問題ありません。
その辺で評価点下げてる人は、どれだけ揺れる場所に設置して使うんでしょうか?(笑)
何せ重い一眼レフで自撮り動画を撮る際は、設置したり、手持ちに切り替えたり、自由で素早い取回しのし易さこそが、モチベーションに繋がるので、スイッチポッドはそこが売りの商品です。
勿論、写真用でも力を発揮しますよ。(サムズアップ)
Well i made the jump as i really needed something portable for my mirrorless camera as gimbals for anything other then phones are way to painful. and heavy.
This is everything i wanted i do suggest getting a small ball head to suit as my spare tripod head is too heavy. so need a light weight option.
magnets work well and im getting better at the you tube flick to get the legs out, but works great as a tripod for b roll as well. Very Happy
