One Arm Four Foot Camera Creature!
 
Buffalo, NY -- 11/27/07 -- The creator of the Quik Pod ®, the world’s first handheld tripod has now gone further with the Quik Pod ® DSLR.  
 
The Quik Pod® DSLR gives photographers over four feet of extended arm reach while even holding heavy camera equipment.  It’s modeled after the mythological Greek creature, the Monopod, but is the opposite of a camera monopod.
 
For the first time in history, professional photographers have an extendable camera grip with a built-in wide angle mirror for self imaging and overhead viewing.  Travelers, with small or DSLR cameras, no longer have to be left out of their photos.

 
Simply set the camera self timer, aim and smile!
 
Inventor Wayne Fromm observed that professional photographers and photo journalists use camera monopods for an extended camera reach.  They grip a thin rod on the leg and hold the camera over their head.   The Quik Pod® DSLR solves this problem too.  It converts to an upside down monopod with a handle at the foot.  This innovation provides a better center of gravity to avoid camera shake and provides a handle for extended reach when shooting over crowds or taking self-portraits.  
 
Families and individuals on vacation will appreciate the original Quik Pod® Pro+ for travel photos while the more advanced photographer can comfortably take self-portraits, overhead photos and videos on the job using the new Quik Pod ® DSLR.
 
Quik Pod® is one of the favorite, perfect travel gadgets chosen by MSN Travel.  The Quik Pod® DSLR converts to a monopod for ground support and the Quik Pod® Pro+ converts to a tabletop tripod.  

The Quik Pod® DSLR weighs only 9 ounces and extends from 18” to 53”.  It includes a rubberized monopod adapter tip, aluminum end cap, wrist strap, hiking clip, belly pad, carry bag and quick release camera mount.  Attaches to all cameras using a standard tripod socket.  To view an industrial strength test please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPl7bcC6PWk showing the Quik Pod® DSLR holding a 28 lb. steel block.
