The US$17.95 Tiltpod (http://www.tiltpod.com) is a new quick connect, micro tripod. Its magnetic base is designed to remain attached to the camera’s wrist strap.

It’s designed for taking sharp low-light shots, self-timer group photos, and stable video. The included pivot point attaches to the camera and can be quickly connected and removed from the base.  

The underside of the tiltpod’s base is made of a grippy material, so it holds on inclined surfaces, wood, rocks, and more. Since the base is magnetic, it also helps it stick to inclined metal surfaces such on cars, metal fence posts, or even a refrigerator door.
