You know what I love about the ReadyPod? I get to capture unique shots and special moments that I otherwise wouldn't. Because it's so quick and easy to use I'm able capture things and experiences at a moments notice. And, because it's so compact I can take it with me virtually anywhere. I especially like the way it improves the quality of my videos. You can see a world of difference between the shaky hand held shots and the smooth steady shots using the ReadyPod.
The "Basic Prototype" which is the only thing available for purchase at this time, is designed to magnetically attach to a variety of other bases which will be made available at some future date.
These bases include a clamp, a suction cup, a beanbag like friction mount (for dashboard), a chest harness, a strap, a base plate (for desk or table top), a wall plate, an adhesive disk and a plain metal disk that can be mounted to anything you can drive a screw into.
Also, the metal ball piece of the current prototype has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole which allows it to be used as a tripod attachment which can be attached to any standard tripod or other equipment with the standard 1/4"-20 thread.

Shawn from Washington emailed the following:
"Got it today. Looks great! I do have a quick question. Do you have a recommendation for a dashboard beanbag type base? All the ones I can find appear to be for suction type mounts."
I'm working on a friction mount base but it won't be available for a while. Sorry about that.
I suggest gluing a metal plate (sheet metal or something) on the plastic disk that most of those suction cup friction mounts have. If it's nice and smooth you can still use it with a suction cup as well as the magnetic ball mount.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi!

What's a ReadyPod?...
...Only the most simple and versatile camera mounting device ever!...
What sets the ReadyPod apart from tripods and all other devices, aside from it's compact pocket sized design, is the instant and easy, one hand operation that it offers...
With the ReadyPod you can instantly and easily attach your camera to almost any surface, position it to every possible angle and then detach it... all with just one hand... effortlessly...
The simple and innovative design of the magnetic ball mount together with the magnetic camera attachment are what make the ReadyPod so darn effective and easy to use...
They call me "The Tool-Man" because I love to discover and create new and exciting tools to solve problems. If I can't find a tool that meets my needs I'll often create one...
Such was the case with the ReadyPod...
