Monsterpod Introduces Sticky, Sweet Camera Mount

monsterpod

When’s the last time you’ve heard the gadget world go ga-ga over a camera mount? Well, the folks behind the outrageously orange Monsterpod seem to have hit the mark. “We’re hooked,” raved Wired’s Gadget Lab Wednesday.

The makers are a bit less dramatic. The Monsterpod is “only the coolest freaking, gravity-defying, mind-boggling tripod ever created!”

The excitement stems from the nearly unpronounceable Viscoelastic Polymer, allowing the mount to stick to anything – walls, roofs, whatever – just attach your 20-ounces or less camera and you’re good.

The gadget costs $30 plus $10 for a zip-up bag.

    It is great for the first few uses but after a while the “sticky” surface gets so dirty that you’re unable to get it to its original state. It gets pretty nasty.

    I picked up a couple of these 2 years ago, and would 2nd Kevin’s comment.
    Not worth buying except for limited (clean) surfaces.

    This product is rubbish. The sticky side got stuck to the carpet in my car boot and I can’t get it off. Steer clear.
