It's a little bit of a nuisance, isn't it? You and yours just happen to stumble into a picture-perfect moment, something you've got to capture on film for the scrapbook. Or the wedding reception slideshow. Or for your MySpace page.

And you have to flag down some suspicious stranger to take a photo of you two. Not only is the moment gone, but who knows if that polite stranger is going to dash off with your camera?

Perfect for all the outings you have planned this summer, the QuikPod lets you take photos without having to take any risks, and keeps your photos free of the obvious outstretched-arm-reverse-hand-camera-too-close look.

This is a briliant device!!! This handy telescopic monopod takes any camera or camcorder, allowing you to hold your camera at a distance so you can take a proper picture of yourself and your partner.

Not only does it take a picture that doesn't look as though you took it yourself, but you can also use it to photograph way above the heads of the crowds at gigs, film yourself as you ski, or cycle, skate or blade. The Quik Pod comes with a pocket clip, hiking clip, wrist strap, and carry bag.

Don't ever worry about a stranger running off with your camera again! This Quik Pod will eliminate the need of ever asking a stranger to take a picture of you while you're on vacation again! The extendable hand held tripod for self portraits you'll never know what you did without!

Any digital camera easily attaches to this handy tool. Avoid those awkwardly close pictures of you and your friends with this. Also, no need to ask other people to take a picture of you when you've got the Quik Pod in your bag. Extendable arm. Perfect for anyone who's going on a trip or who just can't post enough photos of themselves on Myspace.

The Quik Pod will help you in documenting your daily life or simply to create memorable times. Here is how it works:- Attach Camera, Activate Self Timer & Extend Rod, and Aim, Hold & Smile!

I seriously doubt this gadget is gonna make me look any better in the picture. But, at least it will improve my ability to actually take a self portrait type pic.

With its extending handheld arm and optional tripod base, the lightweight Quik PodTM makes it easy to photograph yourself and others
Includes carabiner, lanyard and travel sleeve

With Quik Pod® no one is left out of the picture, not even the
photographer! Quik Pod®, the compact lightweight (less than 3.5 ounces) handheld extendable tripod converts from handheld to table-top use for larger group photos. The Quik Pod® can be used with point and shoot, DSLR and waterproof cameras. It comes with a built in self-positioning mirror to center each shot. This allows the photographer to be included in photos and videos without asking strangers to operate their camera. The photographer has control rather than handing it (their camera!) over to a stranger. I LOVE IT!
