Platypod Pro LLC is a small, family-owned business. The inspiration for the original Platypod Pro happened when Larry, the CEO and Inventor, had to choose between packing a lens or tripod on a hike through Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. He searched for a light, small and practical mini tripod but couldn't find anything able to support a DSLR camera with a heavy lens. After several attempts, he began manufacturing a simple, sturdy and flat plate that could support even the heaviest of photo equipment. Thus, at 4 mm thick the world's most compact mini tripod was born. Inspired by the duck-billed platypus, Platypods are designed with an unusual but highly ergonomic and elegant shape.
