There are many situations when a tripod is needed to capture a great shot: The fleeting photo opportunity of the perfect sunset, the hummingbird that hovers for just a few moments, or the family photo with everyone in it.

The problem is that most tripods are heavy, difficult to carry and slow to set up which causes many missed photo opportunities. The ZipShot™ tripod is the answer. Just release the two red shock cords and the legs of the ZipShot™ spring open in seconds to a height of 44" (112cm).

Attach your camera and you're ready to shoot. At only 11 oz. (312g) and 15" (38cm) when folded, the ZipShot™ is ultra-lightweight and ultra-compact. Constructed of sturdy, high quality aluminum with a heavy-duty, metal ball-head, it will hold a DSLR camera and lens up to 3 lbs. (1361g) and all point-and-shoot cameras. A single release lever allows the camera to be positioned at any angle so vertical and horizontal shots are easy.

With the ZipShot™, you can capture the great shots you've been missing.
