Keychain-Sized Camera Mount Helps Capture Those Special Moments
According to the manufacturer's website, the Manfrotto 797 Modo Pocket Camera Mount is billed as "the worlds smallest tripod," which is a bit disconcerting seeing how it only has two legs. Nonetheless, it appears to be a cool little device. The hinged design allows you to adjust camera angles, and it is small enough to be attached to a keychain. Unfortunately, if you want to get your hands on one, it appears that living in France is where it is at. On the plus side, Manfrotto does list the device on their website, so it may be possible to track it down in the US. [Product Page and Manfrotto via Technabob]

When the original QuickPod was released late last year for point-and-shoot cameras, it seemed a little quirky. Now that a new version for digital SLRs has been announced, it still seems a little quirky, but I can't deny that it would prove useful for taking self-portraits. It can also be used as a standard monopod as well as a tool to take pictures when your view is obstructed.

Loewe's Design Studio TVs are Absolutely Fan-Bloody-tastic
Look what we found at Loewe: four fantastic concept TVs from their design studio. The white Concept Lowboard, red Connect Tripod, Docking Pot and Roundboard have all sorts of fabby extras, such as subwoofers, wireless connectivity pits and sexy mood lights in places you would least expect it. And two of the designs are pretty much dead certs to go on sale, according to our special friend at Loewe.

Cameraphone Tripod Helps You Take Better Crappy Shots
Nothing bugs me more than going to a concert/show and seeing a bunch of people hold up their Chocolates and Treos as they try to take blurry, dark pictures of whatever it is I'm trying to watch. Why people would wanna save such crap images on their phone is beyond me, but maybe these are the same people that would invest in something like this. The Cellpod is a tripod for your cameraphone designed to help you take blur-free shots. It clips onto your phone via its holster or with an adhesive mount. It'll cost you $25, though if you're that concerned about your photos, maybe it's time to upgrade to a better cameraphone. More »

The Pod Replaces Tripods (And has Nothing to do with iPod, Thank God)
One of the worst hassles about having a tripod is that you have to carry it around everywhere. I don't know about you, but I don't have too much space in my messenger bag for a decent-sized tripod. The Pod, from the tripod experts at Bogen, aims to solve that by providing a simple and stable camera support without the use of a tripod. It looks like a tiny beanbag at first, but attach any camera or camcorder to its universal locking bolt, and you have an instant tripod replacement. It contains plastic beans, is Velcro-sealed, water-resistant, and has a non-slip base for additional stability when positioning the camera. And since it's only 5 x 2 inches, I could probably slip it in my bag, no problem. Now I can finally take a non-blurry evening shot with my dinky little camera. They come in yellow, red, and blue, and currently sell for $21 each. More »
