Called micpod as in tripod. The micpod is the size of a microphone in the area that fits into the microphone holder. Put the micpod where a microphone should go to have a secure place to put your camera. So a regular mic stand is not that exciting. It can only go up and down. What is exciting IMHO is when you use this with a microphone boom stand. For those unfamiliar mic booms stands are what a drummer uses to sing.

The micpod lets you place the camera on a steady mount where a tripod can't go. Full sized cameras are out for most mic booms.

Things that are in the weight area of microphones work great.

You could also read/ watch your iPhone on the couch without holding it.

You can get a closeup of your rapman while it is running and watch it from somewhere else. Out of babys reach directly above the crib might be fun too.

The micpod needs a microphone stand of some kind and a small camera to really be useful. The hole on the bottom lends itself to pole mounting if you wanted to get above the crowd. You would also need other pieces to run the camera.

There are a couple ways to secure the 1/4 bolt. I put the bolt in place then poured some Alumilite down the hole to secure the bolt. You could also put a nut on the bolt, send it down the hole and secure it with another nut from the top. The hole on the bottom lends itself to pole mounting if you wanted to get above the crowd.
