"At Lumapod,we have developed the fastest and most compact tripod in the world," said Lumapod co-founder and designer Martin Grabner. "Our patented tensioning technology means any photographer can set up a professional-quality tripod in four seconds - and still carry that same tripod in their day pack. Whether you're an international traveler,the family photographer,or a professional who requires speed and compactness,Lumapod can fit your needs."

This compact and speedy solution for photographers and videographers has already received endorsements for its set-up speed,stability,and versatility. Leading Austrian travel blogger and photographer LadyVenom (@LadyVenom on Instagram) says that while "my current tripod almost always stays at home" because of its size and bulk,"I'm looking forward to having a product that solves exactly these problems. Then I'll always have a tripod when I'm on the go."

Lumapod's Kickstarter campaign runs until October 25. Its two models are currently available for up to 50% off retail sales prices for Kickstarter supporters.
