[@EMBEVIDEO]

The switchpod is a really nice addition, but it cannot really replace the Gorillapod when you use it for more than vlogging. The Gorillapod can be attached or wrapped to nearly everything - the Switchpod is another form of tripod with an additional vlogging-functionality. And when using as a tripod, there is no way to change its height or change the individual length of the legs. There are surely lots of potential customers who really want to have it, but for me personally it wouldn't be much of a help. I would still need the gorilla.

[@dakkster]

The lack of a ballhead is a dealbreaker for me.

Peter McKinnon 2019 Tropical Sound Pack will be wild hahaha

[@AlliandWill]

Seems like a great product! I think they should attach tiny rubber pieces on the insides of the legs to prevent that metal or plastic 'clank' sound when opening or closing it. Sometimes you go from sitting to moving, or vice versa and that noise may cause some audio interruptions.

[@mikevandebunt811]

There are magnets on the inside of the legs to hold them in the closed position (per the Kickstater info), so rubber sound dampeners would probably mess that up. [P.S. I backed it anyway.]

[@FutureChaosTV]

@@mikevandebunt811 Depends on the thickness of the pads and the strength of the magnet.

[@sollertia_]

I would like it to just use rubber covering on the legs since that would also improve it's performance on uneven grounds

Tucker Pearce I’ve never liked gorilla pods. I had a brand new gorilla pod X Shooting a time lapse on the railing of the 42nd floor in Singapore. When I removed it a leg fell off (onto the balcony). I had to fight the local distributed to give me a new one because this was obviously a BIG and dangerous flaw. The replacement unit got loaned out to a friend who also returned it with a leg missing. That’s why I’ve been such an advocate for friction arms.

1. You can use the Gorillapod without the ballhead so the "missing plate issue" isn´t one. 2. You can mount a ballhead to the Switchpod exactly the way you can mount it to any tripod.

I checked the replies first because THIS. When you 'sweep' to pick it up, its clunky sounding and noisy.

I really like the product, for me, I don't I see it as the end of Gorilla Pod. With Switchpod you need a flat surface or nearly a flat surface. There is no flexibility if you are doing any outdoor vlog where you don't have a flat surface it will limit you. On the Pro side, I think the biggest + is size and shape. Easy to carry, less space in the bag. Overall I think it will be a hit product as a lot of influencers are backing it but from practical use, I think it's a good product with limited use. Tried backing it as I been following Caleb Wojcik for a while now, but the Kickstarter somehow changed the price and it comes out to the expected retail price $99 ($80+$11 for shipping). hence decided to wait till they start shipping. Good luck to Caleb and his partner. Good product but I personally think it will not replace Gorillapod

[@photowithnovo6328]

Exactly this, not to mention there are alternatives to the gorilla pod including one which I got free at a tradeshow (don't know the name) but just looks like a black snake. It goes almost as slim as the Switchpod but has the flexibility of a Gorillapod. Comes with a head too.

The "average vlogger" would probably find the gorillapod to be more of a better all rounder. [insert Peter jungle bird cry] But I will buy the switchpod. Because you love it. I believe that.

I laughed out loud when you made your tropical bird noise! 😂

Cool product with lots of potential, but too limited for my run and gun style... hopefully someday we get a product that combines the pros of the Switchpod and Gorillapod.

Your face at 3:37, lol! Mind is blown right now! Thanks for the Rec!

That tropical bird laugh was hilarious😂

[@dansedran]

Actually a really cool product and I'll pick one up! BUT that clanking sound when you go from tripod back to Vlog mode could get annoying/distracting

[@FutureChaosTV]

Could be fixed with a few soft pads I think.

I just stared at a Tropicana Can for a solid 3 seconds while listening to your tropical bird fly by my ear and I fell off a cliff into the abyss of happiness.

Hahaha I like the little Canadian apology in the intro for exceeding two minutes. But I'm not gonna complain
