Assured Gift with each Purchase
We invent SwitchPod through two years of prototyping, getting feedback from video creators, and crowdfunding money to make the first batch on Kickstarter. We’re not a massive company with offices all over the world. We’re just two creators who is annoy with the options out there to hold our cameras when we film.
WE WANTED TO SOLVE OUR OWN PROBLEM
In 2017 we attend a video conference where we painfully watched YouTubers and vloggers struggle to transition from filming themselves to setting down their incredibly expensive equipment with bendy tripods everyone was using.
“Don’t tip over, don’t tip over, don’t tip over…”
Creators were using a piece of gear that had been repurpose into something it wasn’t built for. It is cumbersome, time consuming, and also honestly kinda hard to watch.
BUT WE REALIZED IT WASN’T JUST US
We thought there had be a better way to hold a camera in front of you and then set it down like a tripod, but we couldn’t find one. SO WE GOT TO WORK
As two entrepreneurs use to solving our own problems, we start working on a solution.
Fourteen months later, at the start of 2019, SwitchPod launch on Kickstarter. We were successfully fund at $100,000 in 12 hours, went on to raise over $415,000 during the campaign, and started shipping to thousands of customers 6 months later. Our tripod was just the beginning. As we work on more products for creators we’re always trying to simplify the creative process.
