For all you Self Portrait fans

Even comes with a built-in mirror!

Find me one that'll hold my 17-55 IS and 30D and you've got me sold.

I think I would rather keep my 400d in my hands.
Ha you would want arms like a gorilla to hold that out there with a dslr and decent lens on it.

Just buy a roll of duct tape and you're good to go!

I wonder if this would work with my 20D and 100-400L lol

My speakers were up fairly loud from listening to music earlier, and the "LET'S TALK ABOUT QUICKPOD!" as soon as I clicked the link almost made me jump out of my skin.

LOL

That's too eccentric for me.

I've been using my monopod and cable release to do more or less the same as the 'Shoot above crowds' pic shows.

That's a great idea!

Same here :P

Funny part in that promotion video is where the woman says something like "I always feel emberassed when I have to ask someone to take a picture from me", while this looks sooooooo lame :P

Think this is good for some myspace whores, but I really doubt this is gonna be a success :P

Where's the thread by the guy that was complaining that the XTi and kit lens were too heavy? He'd love this thing...

i wonder if you can "flick" it open like an expandable police baton
might work well as a "camera retention device" "no officer its not a baton, its my quickpod camera support device"

It's one of those quirky things that someone thought up and will probably make a good buck from, even though it's not very useful. As she said, a great stocking stuffer, meaning something interesting you can buy someone for christmas when you can't think of anything really good to buy.

I can just imagine the production line.. "Aw crap, we put the screw mount on the wrong end on these monopods!"

I guess its a reasonable idea for the P&S crowd. Probably won't be too popular though as the whole point in a P&S is its small and light. Do you really want to weigh it down with extra accessories?

Can you say "Chia Pet?"
