Stick Anywhere (No Joke!) Tripod: Monsterpod

Wacky — 28 February 2006

Tripods are often cumbersome to carry and use. To grab that perfect photo you’d probably just as soon hang the camera upside down from the living room ceiling fan. The MonsterPod, through the use of ‘viscoelastic morphing polymer’, allows you to stick your digi virtually anywhere. Hard to say exactly how sticky this thing is, but based on the few pics we’ve seen, it looks gravity defying by all accounts and can stick to a wide variety of surfaces. Comes in Hot Pink, Aqua Blue, Blood Red, Sunny Yellow, Bat Black, Orange Peel or Purple Monster and is available here for $30.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

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.

Hey, that looks as a great option. I mean, no flat surfaces, like a table? No problem, get a chair. No chair? Then the wall… it seems very promising, as every surface no matter its shape is a place to stick it. I will get one…
