Quik Pod® Puts the Photographer in The Picture!

January 24, 2008, Las Vegas, NV.  If you’re the photographer in the family the best photo of yourself is likely on your passport.  With the Quik Pod®, (www.quikpod.com/home.asp) the world’s first handheld extendable tripod, the days of holding out your arm only to get poor picture results are over.  No more asking strangers for help.  No more waiting for strangers to stop walking in front of your camera.  A person simply holds the extended Quik Pod® with camera attached and properly framed photos and videos are captured without the help of strangers.  A panoramic self-image mirror on the Quik Pod® allows the user to see his or her relative position to the camera lens providing perfectly framed photos every time.

New this year is the Quik Pod® DSLR, extending to 53” and converting to a monopod to hold camera equipment weighing up to 6 lbs. (www.quikpod.com/dslr.asp).  Also new for 2008 is the Quik Pod® Slim constructed of stainless steel and extending to 38.5” while handheld and 41” when converted to a tabletop tripod.  Perfect for large group shots. 

“A clever solution” David Pogue, New York Times.

“The Quik Pod® has earned a place in our camera bag!” Washington Post

“A Fun Idea” (USA Today)

“Marvelous Invention (NBC)”.

“I see a lot of products and this one stands out as a winner.  It solves an everyday problem for photographers” said Neil Cohen, buyer J&R Music World/Computer World. 

The Quik Pod® invention came to Wayne Fromm when he was traveling with his family.  He was growing tired of asking strangers to operate his camera for family photos.  Fromm has invented and successfully marketed dozens of commercial products and is particularly known for his toy creations including Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Talking Mirror.  Over one hundred prototypes were created before he successfully manufactured the world’s first pocket size extendable, handheld tripod for digital cameras and camcorders, the Quik Pod®. 

Fromm has demonstrated the Quik Pod® many times on home shopping networks where it is a solid seller and a favorite of celebrity guests backstage!

“Families on vacation and You Tubers will all benefit by making picture taking and movie making easier”.  “Professionals are using the Quik Pod® for photo and lighting solutions.” says Fromm

The Quik Pod® Pro+  is made of sturdy polycarbonate and aluminum, weighs less than 3.5 ounces and comes with a built in self-positioning mirror to help frame each shot.  Starting at $24.95 there is a model for every photographic need.
