Description
Platypod Pro LLC is a small and family-owned business dedicated to providing professional photographers with top-quality products at affordable prices. Our brand is built on the belief that our unique and simple design makes the Platypod an incredibly versatile piece of equipment, with possibilities as vast as the user's creativity. The story behind Platypod began when our CEO and Inventor, Larry, found himself faced with a dilemma during a hike through Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
He had to choose between carrying a lens or a tripod, and reluctantly chose the tripod for stability. However, by the end of the hike, the extra weight left him feeling like he needed both a chiropractor and a cardiologist. Determined to find a solution, Larry searched for a lightweight and practical mini tripod but couldn't find one that could support a DSLR camera with a heavy lens.
After numerous attempts at rigging tripod heads to metal plates, he had a breakthrough and created a simple, sturdy, and flat plate that could support even the heaviest photography equipment. Thus, the world's most compact mini tripod, measuring only 4 mm thick, was born. Inspired by the duck-billed platypus and its flat and broad feet, our Platypods are designed with an ergonomic and elegant shape that is perfectly balanced for DSLRs and lenses.
