Verdict 4.3 stars I can’t help giving the Platypod Extreme a great review because it does what it sets out to do brilliantly. You just have to decide if you want what the Platypod does. It’s an extremely stable support for the heaviest gear yet slim enough to dangle off your backpack. But it only makes sense if you want to shoot from really low angles, or if you can find a convenient surface to place it on.
