#Photo plus 2017 portable

On the second day of the main expo we were unable to narrow down the right individual at DxO with whom to speak concerning their acquisition of Nik Software Collection an item I’ve used personally since way before Google even laid their hands on the company. In a nutshell they’re simply levelers which, considering their own weights of 13 ounces and 3.2 ounces plus the amount they’re able to handle, is an amazing prospect. Scenarios, albeit possible, but not necessary. Funnily enough, another concept I had trouble with was the notion of fastening these pods to a wall or any other surface. The Ultra runs for $59 and the larger MAX costs $99. Amazingly, each respective model can handle quite a bit of weight much more, that is, than your average tripod.

Meaning, in essence, whatever works on a tripod will work on their device(s). Admittedly it took me a little while wrapping my head around the concept of a tripod sans legs being able to support the weight of an attached tripod head, camera and lens without falling over but as Noah quickly pointed out, you wouldn’t assemble any sort of combination that wouldn’t otherwise work on a ‘normal’ tripod.

There I had a quick chat with Noah Christensen, Chief Marketing Officer and owner of Platypod Pro LLC (maker of the portable MAX and Ultra mini-tripods).

The Platypod UltraĪside from the main expo, we were also able to stop by the PPE Test Drive which took place on Wednesday, October 25. The usual representatives from assorted photography, video and digital imaging companies were on hand as well as new ones. As in past years, we had the pleasure of once again visiting with the exhibitors at the 2017 PhotoPlus Expo which took place at the Javits Convention Center from October 26-28.
