Product Description
<body>
Too many photos are ruined due to camera shake, especially those in low light conditions due to the delayed shutter speeds. Tripods are the typical solution, but when you don't feel like lugging a tripod with you everywhere you go, or the shooting situation doesn't allow for a tripod to be used the Pocket-Pod is your solution. "Every photo will be razor sharp every time"
Pocket Pod is a versatile camera "bean" bag which allows you to capture rock-steady shots with your digital, film or video camera on just about any surface.
Key features:
~ 14" long fully extended
~ 8 different compartments sewn in to keep plastic fill in place
~ Made of durable fabric that is easy to clean
~ Takes mere seconds to setup and adjust.
~ Compact, flexible, & light weight - weighs 14oz (approx).
~ Fill is made from HDPE plastic that will not deteriorate over time (unlike polystyrene fill similar camera bean bags contain)
~ Adjustable to any height or angle to accommodate any situation you may run into while in the field shooting
~ Provides a solid shooting surface to eliminate camera shake that handheld photography produces
~ When not in use- wrap it around a spare lens to provide added protection in your camera bag

DSLR Owners - Be careful - "Edge of Couch Test",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pocket Pod Fully Adjustable Camera Support System- Camera Bean Bag - Tripod Replacement. Canon Rebel XT XTi XS XSi T1i T2i 7D 10D 20D 30D 40D 50D 60D 300D 350D 400D 450D 500D 1000D EOS 5D 1D 1Ds 1v Mark I II III IV MKII MKIII MKIV MK1 MK2 MK3 MK4 T2 K2 A1 AE1 AT1 AV1 EF F1 FTB T90 (Electronics)
UPDATE: The manufacturer said they offer a larger sized bean bag. That's not the point is it? Don't keyword spam the item on Amazon to attract sales, instead, you should not include DSLRs like Canon's 7D camera in the advertising.
Sometimes you simply can't bring a tripod with you! I bought this in the hopes of being able to put my camera on rocks and other uneven surfaces to make HD video/picture taking a lot easier. Here's the results from the tests: THE GOOD 1. Portable. 2. Very stable for smaller cameras like Canon PowerShots or other point and shoots. THE BAD 1. Not enough material inside the bean bag to safely stabilize the heavy DSLRs consistently. If you are using heavy zoom lenses, I do NOT advise you use this bag. Smaller lenses like the primes, and some macros can work fine. THE SUMMARY We tested this with professional gear, point and shoots in practical situations. Point and shoot cameras worked extremely well on weird edges and the "edge of couch" test. A Canon 7D DSLR camera + Rode Stereo VidMic + Battery Pack Grip + Canon 35mm f/1.4L took a bit of time to stabilize on the edge of a couch but we were able to pull it off after a couple minutes reshaping the bean bag. But I definitely did not feel it was stable enough to hold the weight. If you got a small camera, buy it. A big camera, you need a much bigger bean bag.

I take a lot of pictures of wildflowers in places where tripods just don't work, but I need a steady, dry surface to put my camera. This works for those situations. I can use it stretched out, or folded. It can be molded somewhat to provide a better angle. I especially like that it keeps my camera off the ground or protected from a fence post or whatever I may set up on. All these bean bags seem a little overpriced, but then many of the accessories I buy for my cameras seem that way to me. Maybe I'm just cheap. It does add a little weight to my camera bag, but at least it will fold up and fit in there. Won't replace my tripod, but is a good accessory for those tough shots. I use a Canon Rebel XTI mainly.

This bean bag is one of the best-built I have owned. I usually travel backroads and hike extensively with my photo gear. This beanbag is a simple way to set up a shot quickly and still have some stabilty. Sometimes a tripod or monopod is just not feasable...this product has saved more shots than I can count. Easily sets up on rocks and other hard to reach places to give the camera a great platform. I would not leave my nearly $5000 set-up on the bag on a benchtop like the product photo, but when used in a controlled situation it is definitely worthwhile. The divided sections make the beanbag easy to configure to the situation at hand...or lay flat for a scratch/dirt resistant mat.
