Octopus Camera OctoPad Weighted Tripod Stand: Normal $10, XL Model $12

The OctoPad is a completely new form concept for support equipment. It is a patent pending, weighted non-slip mat design offering far superior stability to that of existing mini tripods and suction cup supports. The OctoPad is the revolutionary first product from Octopus.Camera. It is a universal high stability support base incorporating a male 1/4-20 inch threaded bolt and custom designed, large capacity removable photographic ball head also with an adjustable 1/4-20 inch male threaded bolt connection interface.

The OctoPad solves the three major complaints about these tripods and suction cup devices:
• Doesn't tip over- or collapse under weight
• Doesn't slip or slide- including on uneven or smooth surfaces
• Doesn't lose suction- or come suddenly unattached
