While we can't guarantee it will stick to everything, the MonsterPod looks to be quite the "Digital Camera" Tripod accessory. This small tripod boasts the unique ability to attach to almost anything. With its "Patent Pending Viscoelastic Morphing Polymer Base" that attaches to an object with only a slight mount of pressure, advertised to "attach to over 1000 different surfaces and counting". Also not to miss, the MonsterPod also comes with a rather eccentric guarantee. "MonsterPod is so positive that it will double the pictures with you in them, they will guarantee it for 30 days! That's right, if you do not double the number of pictures you normally take of yourself alone, with a a friend, or with you and your family "they" will refund all of your money and shipping too!" I also couldn't hold back a laugh when i noticed that "tourist ready", and "patent pending" happened to be among the list of features. This looks like it could be a handy product for some, but a bizarre and inapplicable product for others, however nothing sticks out quite like a digital camera hanging off the side of a tree.

Sticking that camera where the sun don't shine could be quite painful.. it may also be necessary to have a doctor remove it which could be costly and embarassing.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA - March 2, 2006 - PMA 2006 Overview

While there were plenty of mega cameras, mega booths, and mega pixels at the PMA 2 week, there was only one mega release — MonsterPod ™. What the MonsterPod™ boys lacked in flash and glitter, they made up in pure brilliance.

At first the crowd was skeptical, but as word began travel, the MonsterPod ™ boys were rock’n and roll’n and stick’n their MonsterPod™ to nearly everything in their booth and their neighbors booths too.

Crowds gathered for hours around booth 1854, hidden way back deep in the barrio, far from the bright lights and pretty girls (they call them reps), to see the father and son team stick their invention to golf clubs, snow skis, drift wood, squirrel cages, Styrofoam balls, wine bottles and even a swinging tennis racket! The crowds when wild, as the MonsterPod ™ boys launched their product into stardom – or, so it was seeming.

Basically MonsterPod ™ is a tripod head mount with a viscoelastic silicone polymer goo that will mold to practically any surface.

What this means to shutterbugs around the world, is that whether you’re hiking in the woods, skiing down the slopes, rocking climbing the Grand Canyon, traveling up the Eiffel Tower or parting with friends at home, you can simply screw this baby into your compact digital camera and press it to any surface at any angle and it will stick, creating an instant tripod.

And, it really sticks! So good, in fact, the MonsterPod ™ was stuck over 3,000+ times in 4 days at PMA 2006 – and, is still stick’n after take’n all that lick’n…

MonsterPod™ the most incredible digital camera tripod on planet earth.
