MonsterPod: the gooey tripod
This has got to be one of the coolest products I’ve seen so far. It’s made of a visco-elastic morphing polymer that will stick to virtually anything, and these two fellows, a father and son team, made it into a tripod for compact digital cameras. I hope they sell a whole bunch of them, it’s pretty cool stuff! Here’s their site.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA - March 2, 2006 - PMA 2006 Overview
While there were plenty of mega cameras, mega booths, and mega pixels at the PMA 2 week, there was only one mega release ? MonsterPod ?. What the MonsterPod? boys lacked in flash and glitter, they made up in pure brilliance.
At first the crowd was skeptical, but as word began travel, the MonsterPod ? boys were rock?n and roll?n and stick?n their MonsterPod? to nearly everything in their booth and their neighbors booths too.
Crowds gathered for hours around booth 1854, hidden way back deep in the barrio, far from the bright lights and pretty girls (they call them reps), to see the father and son team stick their invention to golf clubs, snow skis, drift wood, squirrel cages, Styrofoam balls, wine bottles and even a swinging tennis racket! The crowds when wild, as the MonsterPod ? boys launched their product into stardom ? or, so it was seeming.
Basically MonsterPod ? is a tripod head mount with a viscoelastic silicone polymer goo that will mold to practically any surface.
What this means to shutterbugs around the world, is that whether you?re hiking in the woods, skiing down the slopes, rocking climbing the Grand Canyon, traveling up the Eiffel Tower or parting with friends at home, you can simply screw this baby into your compact digital camera and press it to any surface at any angle and it will stick, creating an instant tripod.
And, it really sticks! So good, in fact, the MonsterPod ? was stuck over 3,000+ times in 4 days at PMA 2006 ? and, is still stick?n after take?n all that lick?n?
MonsterPod? the most incredible digital camera tripod on planet earth.

[...] I posted about the MonsterPod back in March. I’ve just received an update from its inventor, and I’m pretty excited. In case you don’t know what it is, a father and son team invented this really cool tripod for smaller digital cameras. It’ll stick to practically anything, and it’ll allow you to position your camera anywhere, and either take a picture of yourself, or steady it for macro shots or other shots which normally require a tripod, like evening/night shots.
