My wife and I went to Mexico for our honeymoon several years ago. We saw all kinds of cool things. We climbed the Mayan pyramids and more. Truly a memorable trip. When we got back, I noticed something about our pictures; we didn’t have a single one with both of us pictured. So it could have been anyone on that trip.

I can see two reasons for this. Obviously, we didn’t know the language, so communication was tough. But also, we simply don’t like to be a burden to other people. So we kind of feel bad asking some stranger to stop what they are doing and take a picture of us. And you know when you try to do it yourself, the pictures are always too close up; never look good.

Here is an interesting solution to this problem. The Quickpod Pro Handheld Tripod lets you take perfect photos, with you in them! Just use your camera’s timer function and shoot away. Also useful for taking pictures over crowds or in awkward places. Weighs only 3.5 ounces and extends out 18.5”. Pair it with the grillapod and your set for almost any photo situation.
