I'm excited to bring you the SwitchPod. In my opinion, it's the best travel tripod for
2020. This is coming up the El Segundo beach. It comes in a beautiful box. It's got three
sturdy aluminum legs. It’s fold-up really easily. You can go from vlogging mode to tripod
mode within a few seconds. Isn't that sweet? On the way home. Let me show you some of the
other features. You got a screw on the top here. You can hold
a tripod with one hand and you can go to tripod mode, as I said, before really easily. Then
if you want to close it, you just enclose it like that with one hand. Let me show you
some of the other benefits of a SwitchPod. It's got a screw on top so you can mount the
camera directly on top of the tripod. All you have to do is sit on top. You've got the
screw at the bottom here that just- you can screw it tight to mount the camera. It's tight,
then you're ready for vlogging, like so. Some other great things about it, is that
the legs are magnetic so they stick together. At the bottom we got this rubber padding so
it doesn't slip when it's on the surface. It’s super steady. What if you want to mount
a phone? Just get one of these balls where they find attachment and just screw it on
top here. You have your phone mount. What I like about this, it's ready sturdy so it's
going to last forever. It's going to hold heavy cameras without falling over.
You can even hold it with one leg and you can even close it with one hand. You can even
attach a carabiner on the bottom here so you can hold it. It’s great for easy storage.
Also have the GorillaPod, but you have to keep on maneuvering the legs to make it stand
up clearly. This one, it stands up. Super sturdy right away. The only cons of the SwitchPod
that I can think of is that you can't wrap it around trees or poles.
With a GorillaPod, you can bend the legs. The problem of the GorillaPod, you have to
keep on bending the legs, and then it's not necessarily the right sturdiness when you
put it on the ground. It can easily fall over when you put the camera on it. The beauty
about the SwitchPod is that it's super sturdy and it's going to last forever. The only improvement
I can think of is to have an integrated ball head that sits on top of the SwitchPod.
If you have a spare ball head, you can just screw it to the top of the SwitchPod. I have
a spare ball head here, you can put it on top. I can screw it tight just turning this
knob at the bottom. Now I'm going to put my camera on top. I could adjust it according
to any surface that I have the camera on. It might take a bit of practice to get used
to the opening and closing of the legs. It sure beats playing with the GorillaPod.
Another great improvement would be to have different colors available. I do like a beautiful
box that the SwitchPod came in. Let me show you inside it. The SwitchPod fits snugly inside
the box. Let me show you how it looks when I put the SwitchPod inside it. Here is the
SwitchPod inside a beautiful box. On the back side, it shows you how to use the SwitchPod.
My question to you is, which travel tripod do you prefer, the SwitchPod or the GorillaPod?
