This Week's Must-Have Item: Quik Pods

This Week's Must-Have Item: Quik Pods

Whether it's for a microphone, wireless flash or your camera itself, a little extra reach can go a long way on impromptu photo and video shoots. Extending up to 53" and collapsing to just 18, the Quik Pod DSLR can navigate tricky angles and be carried along with your everyday gear. This portable boom also doubles as a compact monopod with a rubberized tip to give good base traction; it also features a quick release plate to make use even simpler. The Quik Pod Pro+ is a smaller version (extends from 7.5" to 18") that provides the perfect reach for taking self-portraits with compact cameras.
