The modular design gives camera users better control over their lighting.<\/p>\n
Platypod announced on KelbyOne Live the launch of their newest product, the Platypod Bracket & Bounce. Their Kickstarter campaign<\/a> starts today, March 26, 2026. The new solution helps photographers, videographers, and content creators achieve consistent and beautiful lighting anywhere. This comes at a time when no flash bracket system slips into a camera bag and is comfortable enough for all-day use.<\/p>\n The Platypod Bracket & Bounce helps photographers and videographers create clean, flattering flash (and constant) light in any setting\u2014from intimate gatherings to professional events\u2014without glare, red-eye, harsh shadows, or dependence on ceiling bounce. To quote founder Dr. Larry Tiefenbrunn, \u201cMy initial inspiration was watching a wedding videographer, holding a light panel over his head like this\u2026 for 10 minutes. As he was filming. I said to myself, \u201cthere\u2019s gotta be a better way.\u201d According to recent reports<\/a>, 65% of photography enthusiasts believe flash systems are too expensive. With an introductory Kickstarter price of just $179 (MSRP $249), the Bracket & Bounce offers a professional-grade lighting solution without the premium price.<\/p>\n Industry experts are also invested in the newest Platypod release. From Brent Watkins: \u201cFeels great in your hand and rock-solid when you set it down. The wide base keeps your camera exactly where it belongs\u2014no drama. Beautifully built, well-balanced, and versatile for on-camera flash. Built for real working photographers\u2014and it shows.\u201d A sentiment that speaks to the product\u2019s real-world reliability and professional-grade design.<\/p>\n This is Platypod\u2019s 7th Kickstarter. The previous campaign funded to 1,278%. Founded in 2014, Platypod is a camera equipment company that reinvented the compact travel tripod. With 6 patents and 1 patent pending, Platypod has expanded into a unique modular system for amateur to professional photographers and videographers.
