Oprah’s O List features Quik Pod®!

Philadelphia, PA -- March 11, 2008 -- Quik Pod ®, the world’s first handheld extendable tripod, has been selected by Oprah’s O List.  

Perfect for Spring travel and holiday family photos, with Quik Pod® no one is left out of the picture, not even the photographer!  Families and people on vacation will appreciate this versatile tool for taking better pictures and videos. Fully extended, Quik Pod® can be used for self-portraits or for overhead shots at parades and concerts. When not in use it fits easily into your pocket or purse!

Inventor Wayne Fromm invented the Quik Pod® to solve the problem of having to ask strangers to take his family photos while traveling.  He will be demonstrating the Quik Pod® on QVC March 12, “Electronics Today” segment.

Quik Pod®, the compact, lightweight (less than 3.5 ounces) handheld extendable tripod converts from handheld to table-top use for larger group photos. There are Quik Pod® models for point and shoot, DSLR and waterproof cameras. They all feature a built in self-positioning mirror to center each shot. This allows the photographer to be included and centered in photos and videos without asking strangers to operate their camera. The photographer has control rather than handing their camera over to a stranger.
$24.95 and up, www.quikpod.com
