What the QuikPod is all about...

What's the most asked question by all travellers? Besides "where's the bathroom" - it's "Excuse me, would you mind taking our photo?" Trouble is, you're at the mercy of a complete stranger's photographic skills - and of course, you're praying they don't run off with your $600 camera!

Quik Pod is the world's first extendable hand held tripod. Exclusive to LatestBuy, it weighs just 100g, and retracts to about 200mm, making it the essential camera accessory for backpackers.

You'll never have that awkward, "I'll take it", "No you get in the photo, I'll take it" shuffle that occurs at every family gathering! And you'll never have a print full of the backs of other people's heads – because with Quik Pod you can shoot over the crowd, in hard to get to areas, and even underwater (presuming you have an underwater camera, that is!).

No more holding the camera at arms length, producing those wacky shots with washed out "fish bowl" faces. It's as simple as placing your digital camera on the end of the Quik Pod, setting your camera's self-timer, gently extending the rod, positioning yourself in the Quick Pod's self image mirror and saying "cheese"! You'll have it down pat in no time.

The Quick Pod kit comes complete with carry bag, hiking clip, pocket clip, wrist strap and tripod legs (so you can even take shots from a distance or mount a web cam on your desk).

Customer Reviews

Average Rating

"This cool little gadget attaches to the bottom of your camera like a tripod, but it's actually an adjustable extension that lets you take a self-portrait from a comfortable distance away. Small enough to fit in your pocket, it enables you to take better look-where-I-was photos than just pointing a camera at your face from arm's length." PC World Was this review helpful?

"I see a lot of products and this one stands out as a winner. It solves an everyday problem for photographers." J&R Music World / Computer World Was this review helpful?

"Here's a neat way to avoid having to ask people to take your photo when you're travelling. It's called the QuikPod, and it's basically a retractable rod with a small mirror on it. So you attach the camera, set the timer, then use the mirror to frame the shot. It retracts to be a little longer than your hand, so should travel well."
