Key Features
The Next Generation Quad Pod HD
comes with a Bogen 3273 quick release adapter and 3272 plate that adjusts for optimal balance and fast camera attachment and release from the stabilizer. The QPHD is also tripod mountable. We completely re-designed and improved upon the best features of the Quad Pod HD. We beefed up the strength, made it disassemble for easy packing, and added a fatigue free support pod called a Swivel Pod. It’s light, well balanced, quick and easy to use, and requires no change over time between modes of operation. It’s natural, simple to use, and gives you versatility, mobility and stability, especialy when you're on the go.
Tripod ready with Quick Release. It was a real challenge to design the swivel pod to work with one of the Quad Pods best features, being tripod mountable. Standard type extensions interfered with the quick release plates needed to quickly mount to tripod heads. So with some creative design, the Quad Pods still quickly connects to a tripod with out any type of change over. Plus you can now mount just about any quick release plate via a universal connection.
The 4 Quad Grips allow comfortable hand held shooting when standing still or moving about. It's easy to shoot in any style. The front grips are for shooting low to waist high and above. The back grips come in handy when you need to get your camera over your head to shoot down or over and around people or obstructions. Unlike simple handlebar type grips, the Quad Grips are hand contoured for a more natural feel and don't require change over time. When mounted to a tripod or mono, the Quad grips are now used for positioning the camera, but when quick mobility is needed, you're off in a snap.
Fatigue free shooting Our customers really liked our Quad Pods but some wished they could eliminate some of the fatigue during longer shoots. We listened and the swivel pod was created, the perfect companion for a Quad Pod.
New Swivel Pod Comes equipped with the revolutionary new “Swivel Pod” 3-way telescopic extension waist support system. It features the quickest and most convenient way to wear and adjust a waist pod and needs only a twist to operate. Now you can open and lock position with one hand whether you are stationary or moving. Now you can adapt quickly to be in the right place at the right time to get the best angles and most creative footage in any situation! This unit comes equipped with a Bogen quick release adapter for fast camera attachment and release form the stabilizer.
Universal belt loops allow you to attach the Swivel Pod to your own belt. No need for unsightly body belts and uncomfortable pole pouches that can dig into your groin. The T Bar torque rod spreads out the weight and used in conjunction with the Shock Strap, overall weight is distributed evenly. You won't find a more comfortable, practical, easy to use system anywhere.
Horizontal stability. Unlike flexi tips that can drift from side to side, the swivel pod armature has two arms that maintain horizontal stability but allows the unit to swivel vertically. Sideways or angled shots are no problem.
Swivel Pod Quick release adapter.
When you prefer to use the Quad Pod alone, a simple twist and the Swivel Pod automatically drops and hangs to the side on your belt. When the situation calls for it, simply re-attach to the Swivel Pod armature.
The Shock Strap
can be used with or without the Swivel Pod and provides more freedom of motion and vertical maneuverability than a shoulder support.
Portability
All Quad Pod models quickly disassemble for easy packing.
