There’s not much more to say about the Pakpod other than what the video can tell you. But this ABS plastic three-legged spike with a tripod mount seems sturdy. The promotional video for the new tripod shows its legs bolted on, screwed in, suction-cupped on, and spiked into just about any situation with an assortment of different mounting and foot options available. The legs open quickly at the push of a button with a great latch-lift/release design. It’s even relatively cheap at $79 (Kickstarter price). And did I say it seems to be safe under water?

DARKLIGHT – 4K Full Film by Sweetgrass Productions

The lights haven’t gone out yet! Sweetgrass Productions is back with Darklight, a film that takes viewers back into a world of light and color. Supported by innovative television manufacturer Philips TV, this is the third collaboration between the soulful filmmakers at Sweetgrass Productions and Swedish creative house Ahlstrand and Wållgren. Follow professional mountain bikers Graham Agassiz, Matt Hunter, and Matty Miles on a mind-bending night ride through the moonscapes of Southern Utah to the Ewok forests of the Pacific Northwest.
A physically and mentally demanding production, this piece was shot during the midnight hours over three intense weeks. With a scrappy and determined crew of 27, thousands of pounds of camera and lighting gear was slogged, rigged, soldered, hung and broken down each night. Unlike anything ever seen before in the world of mountain biking, Darklight features arrestingly beautiful landscapes and world class riding.
An evolution of its predecessors, Darklight continues to push the creative bounds of action sports cinema.
