ePhotoZine Reviews the Beanpod

Mark Goldstein | Film | November 18, 2003 | 2 Comments

Following yesterday’s review of the Pod, which is basically a beanbag with a tripod mount fixed to it, ePhotoZine have reviewed another very similar accessory. The Beanpod is a small beanbag that costs £9.99 and is designed to rest your camera on in low-light situations. Unlike the Pod, there is no built-in tripod mount -  you just sit the camera on top of the Beanpod.

“The £9.99 bag is made from a leather look black vinyl and has Beanpod embroided across the bottom left in red. You certainly wouldn’t feel embarasees about carrying this around whereas a cloth sack sewn together that rattles with the sound of hard beans may be a different matter.”

A friend of mine put me onto this - just what I was after on my hiking expeditions. A heck of a lot easier to pocket than a tripod and it really makes a difference.

This really works well...I saw the review on Ephotozine.com and for a tenner had to give it a go. A lot lighter than my full size tripod. Stone walls here in Derbyshire make a very sturdy alternative! J. Deckard.
