Capture Group Shots in a Flash

They were the perfect pictures. Mementos from a backpacking trip you took with your friends that you'll never forget. You snapped shots in locations you probably won't have the opportunity to see again with a group of buddies that have since grown up. Those pictures captured an experience and a feeling you cannot recreate, but there's just one problem with them: You're not in any of them!

You'll never miss out on being a part of the action again when you fix this innovative tripod to your digital camera. The first truly pocketable camera support, the Tiltpod attaches to your camera's wrist strap so you're always ready to capture moments in a flash. No more digging through your bag for a tripod, and no more precarious balancing of your expensive digital camera. The Tiltpod's compact design features a quick-connect magnetic ball pivot whose rounded head screws into your camera's tripod socket and magnetically connects to the base for an instant hold at just about any angle. The magnetic pivot allows you to quickly adjust the camera to get perfectly framed shots and the underside of the Tiltpod base is made of a grippy material, so it's made to go where you go. Since the base holds a rare earth magnetic, it also helps it stick to inclined metal surfaces like car hoods, metal fence posts, or refrigerator doors without the risk of erasing your memory card. Made in China.

  • Item ID: 21115
  • Materials: plastic, magnet, stainless steel
  • 2" L x 1.5" W x 0.4" H
  • Most compact digital cameras will work with the tiltpod. Some unusually large digital compacts may have limited range of motion or require external support. The tiltpod is not compatible with interchangeable lens cameras, like full-size DSLRs, micro 4/3s, or Sony NEX cameras. The lenses used on these cameras are too heavy for the compact tiltpod base.

Erin found this little device that makes taking the perfect photo a snap! We love that the Tiltpod is lightweight, super-portable, and magnetic. Would you carry it with you on your next outing, or gift it to your favorite shutter bug?

finally a reasonable priced tripod, but you would have to have something to set it on considering that it doesn't have legs.

Great idea, but not manufactured in the US.

My camera is small, but there has never been a tripod small enough to keep with me so I miss a lot of great shots - especially those low light pics when stability is critical. This solves that problem!

Works great! It's always right there on my camera - I love it for long-exposure shots.

Love it! I like the way it just 'pops' on and off in an instant! No clunky tripod legs to adjust!

Great solution! How many times have I balanced the camera on a rock, stack of credit cards,...? Great, inexpensive, portable idea - I'll take several for myself and as gifts.

wouldn't use it- but seems like a good idea

Great question, Natalie! The Tiltpod's base holds a rare earth magnet that won't interfere with how the camera works or erase your memory card.

I like that it attaches to the camera so you don't have to remember.

Been using mine for two months now, and loving it. The surface is grippy enough that you don't need a flat surface. I've used it on rocks, wood, plastic, and metal with the magnet. Makes it a lot easier to take those self-portrait shots anywhere.

Sounds great - will the magnet not mess with the camera's computer or memory?

Marisa, UG Assistant Community Moderator

Deborah, the Tiltpod's base holds a rare earth magnet that won't interfere with how the camera works or erase your memory card. Thanks for asking; it's an important bit of information!

don't really get how it would stay flat on a surface but the price is right that i'd be willing to try it out!

I thumbsuped it, cause I like the idea- but I'm not sure it would be more effective than a beanbag.
