The compact, two-part aluminum base has room to attach up to eight 3⁄4" accessory rods or grip handles. The basic package is compatible with most still and video cameras with a 1⁄4" mounting screw and comes with three grips comprising two 8" sections that can be rotated 360 degrees on the base. The handgrips feature adjustable joints with steel thread inserts, friction washers, stainless steel screws with hand knobs and ball bearings to increase tightening torque and prevent loosening. All of the You Pod screws are essentially tool-less, but a 3⁄16" hex key is provided and recommended to tightly secure moveable joints on the rig.

With the camera mounted to the base, two grip handles can be attached on either side or in the front.

Many configurations benefit smaller cameras rather than the mid-sized pro models. BOTTOM LINE: A practical and highly customizable product.
