Hands-on Usage
When the guys at Pica-Gear told us that the Pica-Pod can support a full size DSLR camera using the ball-joint provided, I was a little skeptical. But how wrong was I! Not only did the Pica-Pod supported the full weight of the Nikon DSLR camera, it had room to mount an iPad mini, PLUS a power bank too!
Most popular configurations are shown below. You can mount a 360 camera at the top using the ball-joint, with 2 additional clamps. One for a smartphone and the other for a power bank. Additionally, you can also mount a directional (shotgun) microphone as well. This is pretty much a full setup for any users on the go.
