PICA-POD: Mil-spec picatinny rail, multi-use camera mount system

Pica-Pod is an adaptive mounting solution and mini tripod. It lets you mount and operate multiple digital devices simultaneously around your camera, using proprietary accessories that provide an unlimited number of configurations to suit your style of photography. Pica-Pod combines Milspec picatinny mounting rails, standard camera screw points and multi-purpose mounts, to make for a fully adaptive system.

It's so cool to see the picatinny rail system from the gun world adapted for use in the camera world. The Picatinny rail or Pic rail for short, also known as a MIL-STD-1913 rail, or Standardisation Agreement 2324 rail, is a mil-spec firearm rail interface system that provides a standard accessory mounting platform consisting of a hexagonal rail with multiple transverse slots, similar in concept to the earlier commercial Weaver rail mount used to mount telescopic sights.

It was designed to mount heavy sights of various kinds, a great variety of accessories and attachments are now available and the rails are no longer confined to the rear upper surface (receiver) of long arms but are either fitted to or machine milled into the upper, side or lower surfaces of all manner of weapons from crossbows to pistols and long arms up to and including anti-materiel rifles. Accessories — which can include foregrip, bipods and tripods, electro-optical devices including night vision image intensifiers, flashlights and laser sights. In that same way in the camera world you can use the PICA-POD in the same manner to attach any camera, phone, power bank, microphones etc to improve your shooting. It works as a portable mini tripod or attaches to any full-sized tripod too.

Such adaptability is achieved by combining the military standard picatinny mounting rail system with the universal ¼”-20 and 3/8”-16 camera screw standard makes Pica-Pod compatible with any current picatinny mounting accessory or any device that has a camera screw connection.

Adapted for use as a camera gun system - great for vloggers
