Made of aircraft grade aluminum and titanium, Max is perfect for heavy DSLRs, large lenses and full-size video cameras. Max can support up to 300 pounds if your tripod ball head can support it, so can Max. Why flat? Platypods do not replace a conventional tripod, but they excel in a variety of situations: • Max gets you the lowest possible camera placement for low-angle photography • Fits into tighter and narrower spots than any other camera support • Effortlessly slips into camera bag pocket without sacrificing room for lens or flash • Great for front-heavy speedlight and accessories such as Magmod modifiers • Take it on long hikes or treks where you need to lighten your load • Strap or clamp on top of a ladder for high-angle shots • Attach to a skateboard for cheap and easy tracking shots Spikes included Max comes with four spike-screws. Use the spiky sides for grip on rocks or the rubber ends to prevent scratching on furniture or cars. Spikes are stored in a detachable box made of fiberglass-reinforced nylon. Follow up to Platypod Pro Max doesn't replace the Pro - if anything, it complements it. The Pro is designed for ultra-portable support for smaller and mid-size cameras. Max has all of the benefits of its predecessor, but it packs a bigger punch! At approximately 5 x 8 inches it is around the size of an iPad Mini. The larger footprint means more stability. Like the Pro, Max is made of aircraft-grade aluminum with an embedded 3/8-inch titanium bolt. It has some new features, including a pair of slots that can secure Max via a bungee cord or zip-ties to freestanding objects and structures. In the center are 1/4- and 3/8-inch holes to attach Max to quick-release devices, such as the Peak Design Capture Clip, or directly onto a tripod center column. For additional versatility, Platypod even provides a 1/4-1/4-inch male cross-nut to attach accessories such as Pocket Wizard transceivers.
