Merry and Pippin Are Going Podcasting

These days everyone has a podcast, so why not a couple of hobbits talking about life in Middle-earth? That’s exactly what’s happening with The Friendship Onion, which will feature actors Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd talking all things pop culture—and in particular, the franchise that brought them together, The Lord of the Rings. “I am contractually obliged…

Moment’s MagSafe Tripod Mounts Might Single-Handedly Justify Buying an iPhone 12

When Apple revealed the iPhone 12 lineup, the company pitched its new MagSafe feature as a way to fix one of the many flaws of wireless charging. What I instead saw with MagSafe was a solution to another smartphone problem I’ve had for years: attaching the phone to a tripod. Moment is the first to…

Peak Design’s Travel Tripod Just Earned a Permanent Spot in My Camera Bag

When it comes to traveling and trying to pack light, I always seem to run into a dilemma: cram the tripod in my bag or leave it at home. Ideally, I’d always want a tripod around for taking things like landscape shots or long exposures, but the bulky nature of most tripods usually means it’s…

The Future of Tripods Gets Rid of All Those Fiddly Knobs and Buttons

Having a tripod always on hand can mean the difference between a mediocre or a great shot, but only if you can get it set up in time. By eliminating knobs, buttons, and gangly extending legs, Edelkrone has created an interesting tripod alternative that can be easily positioned in seconds. The unique folding design collapses…

The World’s Largest (and Probably Only) Tripod Christmas Tree

The easiest way to set a world record is to think of something so grandiose and obscure that no one could have ever possibly thought of attempting it before. And for the folks over at Custom SLR, that involved building the world’s largest Christmas tree made entirely of tripods—plus the requisite festive decor. All-in-all the…

A Tiny Ultralight Tripod Designed For Compact Cameras and Smartphones

Even if you’ve got a massive DSLR in your camera arsenal, there’s no shame in occasionally relying on your lightweight smartphone or a compact point and shoot for pictures. And on those days when you just don’t feel like lugging a heavy camera and its cumbersome accessories, the Lollipod will fill in as an incredibly…

A Tiny Flexible Tripod For Perching Your Smartphone Anywhere

No one makes a more flexible, more adaptable, more articulated camera tripod than Joby with its Gorillapod line. But the latest addition, the incredibly compact MPod Mini, is actually specifically designed to hold your smartphone for hands-free skyping, movie watching, reading, or other prolonged activities. The MPod Mini’s stubbier legs means you can’t quite wrap…

Is This the Perfect-Sized Mini Tripod We’ve Been Waiting For?

The problem with most compact tripods is that while highly portable, they’re really only useful for supporting lighter cameras like point-and-shoots or smartphones. But most people who’d actually need and use a tripod are probably shooting with heavier DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. So Manfrotto created the Pixi: a decent compromise between a full-sized tripod and…

This Awesome Credit Card-Sized iPhone Tripod Blew Me Away

Sometimes the simplest things are the most useful, but rarely something makes me shake my head at how clever and cool it is like the Pocket Tripod 360º has. I keep thinking “why didn’t someone do this before” and “what a great idea that I wish I’d thought of.” I’m still blown away that the…

A Simple Design Tweak Makes This Tripod 30 Percent Smaller When Collapsed

In hindsight it seems like the most obvious way to design a folding tripod’s center support column, but Giottos’ new Silk Road YTL series are actually the first to use a clever three-way, Y-shaped post making the whole package about 30 percent more compact when collapsed. Compared to the traditional design which simply uses a…

This iPhone Case Is a Tiny Photography Studio That Won’t Help Your iPhone 5’s Camera

There’s usually a dearth of new iPhone accessories leading up to an Apple event, because most companies don’t want to release a product incompatible with the latest model. Not Manfrotto. Its new KLYP case improves your iPhone’s shots with a much needed mini tripod and large multi-LED flash. But iPhone 5 owners can just move…

This $6,000 Tripod Doubles As an 11-Foot Ladder

The advent of articulated LCD displays has made it a lot easier to snap over-the-head shots at crowded photo-ops. But its usefulness pales in comparison to the cleverly named Tree-pod tripod from Fishbone which lets photographers and videographers perch high over crowds for the perfect unobstructed shot. The $6,000 Tree-pod collapses to just three feet…

Almost every camera and cameraphone has the option of taking extra-wide panoramic photos by stitching multiple shots together.

It’s basically nothing more than a simple egg timer with a tripod…
