The POD is a unique product that a friend recently turned me on to... it's essentially a bean bag with a camera mount. This allows you to set your camera, whether its a smaller video camcorder or a combo digital video/still camera.
I have used all kinds of things in the past that were at hand when I did not have the 'right' thing and this would come in very handy. It's not something to replace your tripod, but can be very useful to kee p low angle shots, shots from table tops, etc.
This can be an important accessory as tripods are not allowed into museums, and other public places.
The POD comes in one of several different models - with different sizes and placement of the mounting screw (for folks using a Digital SLR with long lenses, you would want the thread off-set). The RED pod is their original model and sells for $20.99 plus shipping.
The POD has it's own on-line store on the web which you'll find here: www.thepod.ca
