Platypod, a privately owned company headquartered in the United States, was founded in 2015 and has an estimated 10 employees. The company specializes in manufacturing tripods.
On August 19, 2026, Kersten Luts presented ten practical builds for photographers and videographers in a Platypod TV episode, demonstrating the product's versatility as a creative toolkit that can replace multiple pieces of equipment, extending its function beyond a low-angle camera support. Previously, on August 17, Rob P showcased Platypod gear's application for action cam tree mounts in mountain bike photography, using an Insta360 Ace Pro to capture dramatic riding footage from angles that would be difficult or impossible with a traditional tripod. This followed an example of better travel photography techniques using Platypod, shared by Jarrod Erbe on the Platypod Facebook Group on July 25.
