The Joby Design Table Top Pod is a low-profile, eminently stable platform for your DSLR or other camera. It's perfect for attaching a ball head or small gimbal, for positioning your camera within a light tent for product photography or other studio work. Or take the platform outside and shoot from a bean bag or any flat surface. The wide and deep (8 x 4") Table Top Pod lets you position the head without compromising your sturdy base of support.

The sleek Table Top Pod is CNC-machined from 100% aluminum billet. Four rubberized feet keep it in place. With its 3/8"-16 mounting stud, any compatible ball head or other device attaches easily. There's also an included set-screw for securing your ball head or gimbal – it's designed not to vibrate out.

Q: 1. How easy is it to go from a landscape position to a portrait position? Otherwise Can a ball head be attached to this to accomplish that?

A: Quite easy. My Nikon long lenses and most others allow the lens to stay fixed to the chest/shoulder pod support and with the release knob on the side of the lens the camera rotates 90 degrees back and forth to both positions. No ball head is needed.

A: It is a tool and it's success depends on how you use it. If you do not wish to use tripods or monopods, then try and see if it works for you. The main technique you would have to master is taking in a deep breath, letting out half of it, and then holding still while you shoot. Otherwise, your breathing will be an issue with such a lens. Other techniques is keep your shutter above 300th of a second and use higher ISO for hand-holding your camera.
