Tiny but Mighty - the Platypod Mini Ballhead

The Platypod Bracket & Bounce was designed to give photographers a compact, flexible way to position lighting and accessories around the camera, but members of the Platypod Users Facebook Group are already finding their own ways to put it to work.

Action cam tree mount for mountain bike photography

When people think of Platypod, they often picture landscapes, macro photography or studio lighting. But Rob P proves that Platypod gear is just as capable when the trail gets muddy and the action speeds up. Armed with an Insta360 Ace Pro, a mountain bike and a Platypod setup strapped to a tree, Rob captured dramatic riding footage from angles that would be difficult, or impossible, with a traditional tripod.

Why Gen-Z is buying point & short when iPhone is better

If you judged cameras purely on image quality, this trend would make no sense. Modern smartphones, especially the latest iPhones, outperform many compact cameras in almost every measurable way. They produce cleaner images, better low-light performance, impressive computational photography and outstanding video.

Better Travel Photography with Platypod

Travel photography isn’t just about ticking famous locations off a list. The best images tell a story, capture an atmosphere and preserve the feeling of being somewhere, not simply what that place looked like. Jarrod Erbe caught our eye with his excellent example of this over on the Platypod Facebook Group.

Scott Kelby's Bracket & Bounce Field Test

Here's why on-camera flash makes your photos look flat (and the simple solution) If you've ever looked at a portrait taken with your camera's built-in flash or a speedlight mounted directly on the hot shoe and thought it looked harsh, flat or just plain uninspiring, you're not imagining it.

iPhone Macro Photography Trick with Kara

Macro photography has a way of revealing an entirely different world, and one of the most fascinating techniques is photographing images refracted inside tiny water droplets. It might look like a complicated studio setup, but it's surprisingly simple to recreate at home.
