Platypod, a Privately Owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2015 and employs approximately 10 individuals. The company operates as a manufacturer of tripods.
On March 3, 2026, Don Komarechka showcased the process of macro water droplet photography, emphasizing the detailed creation and problem-solving involved. Previously, on February 13, Kersten Luts explained focus stacking techniques for macro photography, detailing how to achieve sharpness from front to back. This followed Jarrod Erbe's use of the Platypod system on February 5 for photographing an Old Fashioned cocktail in a compact tabletop studio, noting its suitability for stable camera and lighting accessory positioning without the space requirements of traditional tripods. Earlier, on January 27, Pulitzer Prize winner Kevin Painchaud utilized the Platypod Delta for creating long exposure imagery and textured details during a timelapse project at Aptos Creek. This came after Lee Hall’s macro experiments with the system on January 16, which focused on slowing down, getting closer, and allowing light and water to guide the imagery.
