Well, I’m picking the winner today, and announcing the winner here tomorrow. All you have to do is leave a comment below (you can just say hi, or whatever), and you’re entered.
If you’re wondering “What’s a Platypod?” it’s an awesome camera support, like a tripod but without legs, so security guards don’t freak out when you use one (well, that’s one big benefit). It also allows you to easily put your camera in places where a tripod would fit, or if you just want a really interest low or high perspective. It’s made of aircraft-grade aluminum; it’s light and strong as heck, but it literally fits in your shirt pocket. These things have become a sensation, and I take mine everywhere!
You attach a ball-head, and you’re ready to shoot.Here’s an example, taken in the Venice, Italy Opera House (where tripods are forbidden). Check out the low perspective (which hides the tourists sitting in chairs to the left on a guided tour).Here’s my Platypod in the Vatican, where tripods are also forbidden and everybody’s trying to hand-hold shots in this amazing cathedral….well, except me. I’m getting super sharp longer exposures at 100 ISO.Here’s the shot, taken with a 14mm super-wide angle lens.
Anyway, I hope you win!
This contest is open to everyone, everywhere (if you win, we’ll ship it wherever), so good luck to everybody! Leave a comment below and you’re entered. Hey, ya never know, right?
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll drop by back tomorrow — I’ve got a Lightroom tip and I’m hoping to post a link to my shots from my trip to rural China. Have a great Thursday, everybody!
-Scott
P.S.If you live in the Dallas area or Richmond, I’ll be there next week with My “Ultimate Photography Crash Course” full-day seminar. Come out and spend the day with me. Tickets and info here.
Hey Scott…just want to thank you for all the tips and support throughout the years. I started learning from you with PS2. I continue to this very day. You revolutionized my photography!
Oooh……I ‘met’ my first Platypod (though we thought it should be called a Flatipod…..or maybe a Phlatipod) on last weekend’s Worldwide Photo Walk 😀 Instant gear lust! To win one would most certainly satisfy that lust.
This will go perfectly with my gray hair…….the change in hair color pretty much marked the time I started taking a closer look at my gear, particularly in terms of weight and bulk. Fill frame DSLR to M4/3, aluminum to carbon fiber and like that. This looks like a perfecr replacement for about a pound of table top supports. Thanks!
Hi Scott, I already feel like a winner with some of the great tips you’ve passed on over the years. You’ve help me become a much better photographer. Winning a Platypod would be the “Cherry on top”!
Your tutorials are excellent and I have a couple of your books. I have learned a great deal through your dedication to the craft and look forward to continuing in my pursuit and finding my niche in photography. All the Best!
They don’t sell these in South Africa. Even according to their website, Africa isn’t even on the list. Wouldn’t mind having one as I like collecting and shooting with all sorts of Photography gadgets.
I would love to have one of these as most of my photography is done in dimly lit places and this will be of great help instead of lugging the tripod around.
Like your new series LR in 30 seconds – always found Benjamin Ward very informative and look forward to many of your posts. Will be checking here for your China photos, enjoyed your Faroe Island photos too. Is your web design here new? I don’t remember it looking this way – if so, I like it.
I find collections hard to use what I do but I am trying – keep telling me how they are better and maybe I will find a way to make it easier.
I loved loved loved your latenight ClickCon’19 Marketing Session! I’ve never used a Platypod and would absolutely go to town with it!!!! Thanks for being such a great coach & encourager!
I’ll be going to to Seattle Volunteer Park Conservatory soon. This will be perfect for upshots in the plants’ bright glassed-in environment. A friend just gave me his CamRanger wireless remote. Perfect combo to get the perfect image.
Until recently, I had never heard about the PlatyPod. I was in Chicago at a workshop photographing the city streets. The instructor was using one and it was then that I found out and saw the usefulness of this amazing tool. This is a tool that every photographer dreams to own for our cityscapes.
Scott Kelby! Your Photoshop and Lightroom books have taught me everything I know about those applications. I buy your new book with every new version of the software. Immensely helpful! Thanks!
I would love to win a platypod, and apparently so would hundreds of other people lol. I had never heard of it until this article!! Hoping for some good luck now, since my tripod broke months ago 🙁
The Platypod Ultra is already on my Christmas list after seeing your amazing travel shots taken in places where tripods aren’t allowed. So, if I’m lucky enough to win, it will be like Scott Kelby is doing his best St. Nick impersonation.
Hi Scott I would love the opportunity to win a platypod. At 6′ 5 and a half it’s getting harder to down low. Not to mention I’m on my second pair of knee pads! Thanks and keep on keeping on. Love your teaching style.
Hey Scott: Big fan here, member of Kelby One and have taken lots of valuable courses, and attended several of your live seminars in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. Would love to win the Platypod Ultra!
Well I’ll be that’s pretty darn cool. I am a very armature photographer. I love taking pictures. My camera is not fancy but that doesn’t stop me. I have several of your books Scott. Having the PlatyPod would be amazing. I enjoy your stories and pictures. Have a great day.
Hi Scott! While I’m taking up this comment space for the contest, I throw in a question as well. Do you know if there is a reseller here in europe for the Platypod?
I would love a PlatyPod Ultra! I could stash it in my purse, and my husband wouldn’t get that “Oh no, the tripod” look on his face. Also very handy for all the museums in Vancouver where I can’t take a tripod, and for taking hiking up the mountains. I enjoy LightRoom Killer Tips very much, and have had a lot of help when I asked questions.
Can’t be a Scott Kelby fan without knowing what a PlatyPod is! (ha ha) I don’t have one – but I reeeaaallly want one – so I’d love to win this! Thank you for giving one away.
I’ve been looking into one of these recently after being let down by my table top tripod and missing some ‘killer shots’ it made me a bit of a sad panda.
Gosh, this is timely. I’ve just lost the bolt that fixes my tripod head to my FPLATE (remember them?) and because I am in the UK, I simply cannot get another one (we’re all metric!!)
I want a PlatyPod so much!! Sadly out of my reach on limited income, just like the Dallas workshop! I live an hour away, but way to short on money. So, I could use the PlatyPod. Enjoy your time in Dallas area!
Thanks for all you bring to us through Kelby One. It makes such a difference in some many of our lives. There is always so much to learn and you and the other instructors that you introduce us to through Kelby One help make our lists shorter. Look forward to more on travel.
Been looking at one of these for a while now and I’m getting an opportunity to be in Greece in November! This would sure make thing a lot simpler that trying to take a tripod.
I have no idea how a PlatyPod works – can’t see why it doesn’t tip over but have faith as if you’re recommending a product Scott, it’s usually because it’s well-designed and useful. Thanks for all I’ve learned from you so far
Every time I visit your page (LightroomKillertips, KelbyOne, facebook etc) I learn something knew and useful. When I am done, I leave smarter than when I started. Thanks for being a great teacher Scott. Looking forward to your Ultimate Photography Crash Course coming to a city near Gainesville, FL
I’ve drooled over that device ever since I saw you demonstrate it at the KelbyOne seminar in Minneapolis! Haven’t picked one up yet (barely been able to pick up my camera – you would not beLIEVE my work schedule); winning one would be aces, especially from you!!
I always enjoy your giveaways and the chance to win cool prizes. Thanks! I enjoy your classes and killer tips even more! Great to meet you at your Ultimate tour too. Keep them coming please.
Oh oh! There’s getting to be plenty of comments. I guess I’ll not the only one who still doesn’t have one of these cool devises. Maybe i’ll Win one tomorrow – I sure hope so. Thanks for the chance Scott.
Yeah, I could definitely need one. I moved last year from FL to Sicily, Italy and left almost everything at the storage over there. Also my tripods etc. The Platypod Ultra would feel so good here in Sicily 🙂
This would be very useful for all sorts of things. In my case I could use it to place a remote camera in the end zone of a football game or point it towards 1st base at a baseball game.
Good morning Scott! You said to say hello or whatever, so Hello and whatever! Hope I win this seriously, I’m getting to old to be dragging my tripod on trips with me. Have a great day!
Hey, there! I love photographing low angle —worm’s eye view! My back is starting to hurt with my regular tripod. The Platypod has got to be the “better way” to do it, right?
Thank you so much for all of the educational content you provide for people like me who want to learn to be the best photographer I can be. Kelby One is awesome and I love the Lightroom tips!
ACK! I had no idea this was a thing and now I HAVE TO HAVE IT! 😉 I’m going on the “trip of a lifetime” (for me) to Italy in 2020 so your photo examples are basically a big tease, LOL!
Good morning Scott! It was great to meet you briefly at Photoshop World in Vega this past Aug. It was an amazing week and I hope to be able to go again next year! Fingers crossed for a Platypod in my future!
this year I discovered this great gentleman in the world of photography and I’m proud I will be honestly honored by the winner to start a career. Congratulation to the future winner.
Heard so many good things about the platypod. Last week, during the worldwide photowalk, the walk leader had a platypod and this was the first time i had one in in my hands. He told me about the functionality it brings for him, and man, that is one multifunctional tool. Who wouldn’t want one?
Hi Scott! Thanks for creating the worldwide photowalk. I had such a blast leading the group around Patchogue, NY. …could’ve used a platypod though. Fingers crossed!!
Hi! I hike, and dragging even a travel tripod around is getting to be a pain for my aging ass. A Platypod might offer a useful solution in some circumstances, saving me a lot of sore shoulders from dragging that heavy gear around. I would certainly like the chance to find out. 🙂
This would be an interesting tool for first dance shots on weddings while I shoot with my other camera, this could stand somewhere on the ground or up high, and I can fire it with my remote between other shots…
If I don’t win it, I will look for it (if they get it here in Belgium)
Ooooooh the platypod ultra love!!!I so so want this in my kit to attach my long heave telephoto lenses on portrait mode. Would really really love to win this
Hey Scott 🙂 I’d absolutely love one! Recently bought myself a Nikon D7500 & I am having photographers block as I keep shooting the same things. To have a Platypod that could give me a different view of scenery wherever I go, would be amazing!
Would love to win a Platypod!
Sweet
Hi, I enjoy reading your articles.
Wouldn’t I enjoy that?? I’ve been thinking about getting one for sometime. Thanks, Scott for doing this.
Neet idea. So often I hear “No Tripods allowed”.
Hi! Would love to win this. Thanks for the opportunity to enter and chance to win.
Hey Scott…just want to thank you for all the tips and support throughout the years. I started learning from you with PS2. I continue to this very day. You revolutionized my photography!
Hey Scott, great device. That will put everything in a new perspective. Would love to try to make pictures like that!
Cheers from Austria!
Martijn
Hope it comes with a ball head!
Cool piece of gear.
Always wanted one!!
Me, me, me!!!
Oooh……I ‘met’ my first Platypod (though we thought it should be called a Flatipod…..or maybe a Phlatipod) on last weekend’s Worldwide Photo Walk 😀 Instant gear lust! To win one would most certainly satisfy that lust.
Pods rule! (Platypods that is…)
Thanks for the opportunity, especially because it’s international!
Oh, that would make all the difference to my luggage!
Hope I get it.
My D850 with the Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 g2 is waiting….
How was the photo walk ?
Awesome bit of kit.
Would be a welcome addition to my camera bag.
I know that you have been recommending these for years, but I have always used my foot instead. Would love to have one.
Definitely an item I need to get hold of. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Hi
Yes I would like to win a Platypod !!
Now more good long exposure photos will be taken
This will go perfectly with my gray hair…….the change in hair color pretty much marked the time I started taking a closer look at my gear, particularly in terms of weight and bulk. Fill frame DSLR to M4/3, aluminum to carbon fiber and like that. This looks like a perfecr replacement for about a pound of table top supports. Thanks!
I have the Max but it’s rather huge to lug around. Ultra would be perfect for my Z6.
Nice
Could do with one of those, thanks.
Thanks for the PlatyPod!
What a super giveaway, a Platypod Ultra. Fingers crossed for the draw.
I could really use this!
Would love a platypod!

You know, in prison you two would be my bitches?

PlatyPod seems like a interesting thing to try! Thanks!
Hi! 🙂

I have a small mini-tripod but would love to get the PlatyPod. Maybe it’s my lucky day!

What’s a Platypod?
Really neat! This would be helpful for low-angle shoreline shots.
Seen, but never tried.. Intriguing..
The Platypod Ultra is already on my Christmas list after seeing your amazing travel shots taken in places where tripods aren’t allowed. So, if I’m lucky enough to win, it will be like Scott Kelby is doing his best St. Nick impersonation.

All the best
Mathias

Wow, would be brilliant for picturing my socks!
Nice give-away. It would be wonderful if I were choosen for thar awesome platypod.
Waht an amazing offer ….THANK YOU for doing this.
I could have so much fun with that Platypod! Thanks Scott!
Love this idea. Looking forward to more.
Thanks for doing a give away! I’ve never used a Platypod – it looks like it would be really handy for low-angle macro photography!
Would love one
Thanks for doing this.
Cheers.
I hope, I win!
Thank you Scott!
HI from Seattle
I would love to win one of those, all the things I could do. Thanks
You are great photographer and teacher of photography.
Platypods are the best! Love mine, but there’s always room for another one instead of a traditional.
Hi Scott,
Keep up the good work.
I always have a Platypod with me, even when I carry a tripod. I sometimes keep the Ultra mounted to my camera when carrying with a Black Rapid sling.
Read almost all your books. They have been a great help!
Neat item
That thing are just awesome 🙂 Takes a boadload for it’s size 🙂
I love Platypods! They are so cute and supportive!!
I would love one. Beats my homemade one!
I’m from the netherlands and the Platypod is just as flat as the netherlands.
I would love to win the Platypod
Hope I win one , I would like to try it out
Hi or whatever!
Whoever thought of Platypods are genius! What a great device!
It’s probably my next piece of gear i buy, maybe i win one 😉
This would be pretty awesome for clickcon 2020!!!
I’ve used one before, these things are great
I would love a PlatyPod Ultra! I could stash it in my purse, and my husband wouldn’t get that “Oh no, the tripod” look on his face. Also very handy for all the museums in Vancouver where I can’t take a tripod, and for taking hiking up the mountains.
I enjoy LightRoom Killer Tips very much, and have had a lot of help when I asked questions.
Can’t be a Scott Kelby fan without knowing what a PlatyPod is! (ha ha) I don’t have one – but I reeeaaallly want one – so I’d love to win this! Thank you for giving one away.
As a 72 year old woman its becoming harder to hand hold my camera with larger lenses. Would love to win the platypod.
What a great tool. Thanks, Scott.
Brilliant Seen you using one on the web and would like to try one
I’d like to try one.
Got one for my son who loves it. Hoping for one for me.
Looking forward to using it! LOL
Thanks for all the advice!
A Platypod would be great addition to to my camera!
Thanks for the opportunity! Learned so many things from all of your different mediums.
I bought the Max one but I think that for travel the Ultra is way better, so if I’ll be lucky it’s ok otherwise I’ll buy one. They are great!!!
I would love a PlatyPod, would be great for hiking with my camera. Big fan of your work for many many years.
I am so happy that you are updating the lightroom tips with those 60 seconds videos! Thanks for all you do to make photographers happy!
I purchased your book-The Landscape Photography book and loved it so well that I purchased one for my brother.
I’ve been looking into one of these recently after being let down by my table top tripod and missing some ‘killer shots’ it made me a bit of a sad panda.
Thanks !!
Love your books, I learned so much,
Thank you
OMG!
On my wish list!
So by winning it, a wish would be realized!
A big thank you 🙂
I’d love a Platypod!
Hi, or whatever…. 🙂
Gosh, this is timely. I’ve just lost the bolt that fixes my tripod head to my FPLATE (remember them?) and because I am in the UK, I simply cannot get another one (we’re all metric!!)
Winning this would be a HUGE thing for me!
A friend of mind have one and are stoked about it so I hope I have some luck!
It would certainly help this old man get low a lot easier. Who am I kidding? I never even try to get that low anymore!
See you in South San Francisco next month.
I want a PlatyPod so much!! Sadly out of my reach on limited income, just like the Dallas workshop! I live an hour away, but way to short on money.
So, I could use the PlatyPod.
Enjoy your time in Dallas area!
What an awesome piece of gear!
I have plenty of pockets for that Platypod, thank you!
Platypod looks like an awesome tool. THANK YOU for always sharing your knowledge with us Scott!!!
Just like P-Funk…with a platypod…you got to get up to get down..
Thanks for the platypod! I’m putting it to work as soon as it arrives!
A Platypod has been on my list of gear to get forever!
Too many of my shots are from my standing eye-level.
This would help a lot!
hi, or whatever
Thanks for all you bring to us through Kelby One. It makes such a difference in some many of our lives. There is always so much to learn and you and the other instructors that you introduce us to through Kelby One help make our lists shorter. Look forward to more on travel.
Never seen anything like it. Hope I win so I can try it out.
Hi Scott! I have been interested in these! It would be great to add to my gear! Thanks!
I could use one of those
Would love to have this tool!
Been looking at one of these for a while now and I’m getting an opportunity to be in Greece in November! This would sure make thing a lot simpler that trying to take a tripod.
Would be a handy addition to the gear bag!
I have tried to buy one here in Finland but it is a mission impossible! No one sells PlatyPod here!
Awesome little piece of gear!
I saw this for the first time at Clickcon. Awesome!
Looking forward to more Travel Tips and Location videos, Scott! The perfect places to use a platypod!
I was just on the B&H website last night looking to buy one of these! Handy for No Tripod Zones!
I have no idea how a PlatyPod works – can’t see why it doesn’t tip over but have faith as if you’re recommending a product Scott, it’s usually because it’s well-designed and useful.
Thanks for all I’ve learned from you so far
Every time I visit your page (LightroomKillertips, KelbyOne, facebook etc) I learn something knew and useful. When I am done, I leave smarter than when I started. Thanks for being a great teacher Scott. Looking forward to your Ultimate Photography Crash Course coming to a city near Gainesville, FL
Always game for a fun New gadget!
You got some awesome shots with this. Would love to try it!
Hi, or whatever. 😉
This would be so much easier to travel with than a tripod.
Hi Scott! I would love one of these, but good luck to everyone who has entered 🙂
Giddyup
Great product. I would to get my hands on one
Fingers crossed
Some great images !
That’s cool! Would love one!
How does the Ultra differ from the max??
Thanks for sponsoring the Kelby Walk. Met a lot of nice people and found a lot of interesting views I’ve walked by a 100 times.
Thanks!
Great giveaway idea! Would love one!
I’d love to have one of these in my camera bag… or better yet, under my camera!
Looking forward to winning
Awesome!! Would love to have a Platypod to use.
Thanks Scott!!!!!
I’ve been wanting one of those.
Not just for cameras, they are great at holding Speedlights too!
Thanks Scott!
Great shot of the Opera House! Would so love a Platypod Ultra.
Nice thingy indeed.
Magari poterlo vincere !
Lov’en the “60 sec LightroomKillerTips”. Happy to make a home for the Phenomenal Platypod!!
Good Luck Y’all!!
Please send one my way!
I’ve enjoyed your content for years, and I hope you keep sharing.
The platypod has been in my wishlist on B&H for awhile now, and I’d love to actually get a chance to try it out! 🙂
The Platypod would be an awesome addition to my photo backpack!
I’ve drooled over that device ever since I saw you demonstrate it at the KelbyOne seminar in Minneapolis! Haven’t picked one up yet (barely been able to pick up my camera – you would not beLIEVE my work schedule); winning one would be aces, especially from you!!
I’ve had this on my list for a while. Would really like to try it out.
I always enjoy your giveaways and the chance to win cool prizes. Thanks! I enjoy your classes and killer tips even more! Great to meet you at your Ultimate tour too. Keep them coming please.
Platypod Ultra it’s definitely a must have.
Reply and I like the look of the ball head on yours.
This would be amazing to even try out! Thanks for always giving out great prizes that let us try out cool gear!
Yes please. I love Platypods. They are the best!
Of course! That would be great, yay!
Oh oh! There’s getting to be plenty of comments. I guess I’ll not the only one who still doesn’t have one of these cool devises. Maybe i’ll Win one tomorrow – I sure hope so. Thanks for the chance Scott.
Oh man would I love to win one of these – yes please!!
Looks like a really useful device, especially for places where tripods/monopods are not allowed.
Would love one!
and ever better if with your autograph too.
Yes please!
Might be the encouragement I need to get back into the game
Yeah, I could definitely need one. I moved last year from FL to Sicily, Italy and left almost everything at the storage over there. Also my tripods etc. The Platypod Ultra would feel so good here in Sicily 🙂
You said to say hi…so…Hi
A newbie here to photography. I enjoy your site.
Awesome prize Scott, would love to win
Hello! I would love to win a Platypod. = )

Wow!
Cool idea. Thanks for promoting this.
Thank u for the Killer Tips, always of value
I just read about this in your newest Landscape book! Soooo, Yes Please!
Thanks Scott!
SO RAD!! What an incredible invention!
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of photography with us Scott.
Super cool!
Is there a particular ballhead that you recommend to go with this Platypod Ultra (and why)?
Let my contract for the tripod Sherpa expire!
Thanks for the great information you provide!
Hey Scott love your teaching of the craft that us all things photography! I could really use this !
Yes please! I would love to try this piece of equipment. Thanks Scott!
Morning, cash is short, new toys are always needed! Safe travels.
This looks great. thanks for sharing!
I want one please. Looking forward to the Crash course in Arlington, TX
This would come in handy when I go to the Smokies in a few weeks! Thanks for the opportunity!
wow, what a long list
Hi, or whatever.
Looks like something every traveling photographer should have in their pocket.
I would love to experiment with the platypod!
Hi from Albuquerque
I’m short so this is perfect 🙂
Nice to my Cameron:)
Sounds like a great piece of gear.
This would be very useful for all sorts of things. In my case I could use it to place a remote camera in the end zone of a football game or point it towards 1st base at a baseball game.
Hi Scott Thanks for the photo-walks. Have now done three in Ontario although I am from the UK.
See you in Richmond Scott 🙂
Oh this is awesome!!!! Would love to use this
I always enjoy Scott’s Lightroom tips! I’ve become so much better at Lightroom lately.
yes, weight is always a issue when we are getting older, haha
I could use that pod also for some Music Videos, from a low angle!
Anyway… cheers
I would love to win. Thanks
Great Idea! Good luck everyone
Good morning. I was thinking and getting one of these.
Wow, it’s always good to see how many people indeed read here and even comment 😉
Hi
Good morning Scott! You said to say hello or whatever, so Hello and whatever! Hope I win this seriously, I’m getting to old to be dragging my tripod on trips with me. Have a great day!
Because I really do need one!
Hi Scott! Enjoyed seeing you in Boston! If I am primary using the Canon RP with the 28-70 lens, would you recommend the smaller or larger Platypod?
Hi Scott! It sounds like really cool stuff
Love to have one!!
Love your tips. Great info. I also love Platypods. Great simple idea.
Hi Scott, love KelbyOne!
Hey, there! I love photographing low angle —worm’s eye view! My back is starting to hurt with my regular tripod. The Platypod has got to be the “better way” to do it, right?
Thanks for all you share!
It would be great!!!
It was great to see you on the new tour in Nashville!
Hi Scott! Thanks for the giveaway offer – I’d love to add one of these to my kit!
Hey Scott
Love the new Lightroom Killer Tips format. It is very readable and well designed.
Kudos to your graphics folks!
That looks really interesting. Replaces a tripod? Might have to give it a try.
Hi from Texas! Yep, I would like a platypod!
Hey Scott… looking forward to the class in Ft. Lauderdale in December!!
Ghi is a great idea, I would love this
Thank you so much for all of the educational content you provide for people like me who want to learn to be the best photographer I can be. Kelby One is awesome and I love the Lightroom tips!
Hi from Newfoundland! Thanks for the chance to win a Platypod!!! Love your books Scott!
Would be great!
ACK! I had no idea this was a thing and now I HAVE TO HAVE IT! 😉 I’m going on the “trip of a lifetime” (for me) to Italy in 2020 so your photo examples are basically a big tease, LOL!
I do have place in my bag for this !
Another cool tool in our photography bag! Would love a platypad
This would be awesome to win. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise over the years!
Thank you, Scott! You’re the best!
Love all Kelby One does!
Hi from France !
Platypods are precious
I like how you show where you use the Platypods. Always new ideas.
I would LOVE to win one if these! Lots of travel in my future and a platypod would be well used.
This has been on my wishlist since I first saw your video from Lisbon.
Did not know what it was before reading this. Would love one 😉
Yes, please!!
Hope to be the winner!
Hey Scott! Thanks for all you do to help make me a better photographer! You rock!!
Would love to win an ultra so we can have more options to shoot with
I’d like to try this out!
That would be great. Hard to get here in my part of the world!
Scott, when are you coming back to Kansas City?
Thanks for your service.. looking forward to seeing you soon!

Good morning Scott! It was great to meet you briefly at Photoshop World in Vega this past Aug. It was an amazing week and I hope to be able to go again next year! Fingers crossed for a Platypod in my future!
this year I discovered this great gentleman in the world of photography and I’m proud
I will be honestly honored by the winner to start a career. Congratulation to the future winner.
Fantastic! I will keep it next to my wallaby.
Awesome! Thanks for all you do to help photographers!
Yes! Platy Please!!!
Let’s beat those places which restricts tripods
I would LOVE to win one if these! I’ve seen one in action and it was awesome!
Time to come to Phoenix! I’ve been eyeballing one of these for awhile.
I ‘ve seen you so many times using the platypod that I am curious to try it myself. It would be great to win one!
Have a wonderful day.
Oh this would make a perfect Birthday gift for me!
More gadgets… yes please!
I would love to have one! ☺️
Been wanting one of these forever!
Scott, thanks for your generosity!
This would come in really handy for my planned trip to Italy.
Me, me, me! Keep the books coming they’re fab.
It’s a great product!
I would love the Ultra for my MILC!
Platypod is an amazing tool! We’ve used it and I will be very happy to have my own one! Thanks Scott!
Yes please thank you, on my wishlist.
I have now already, but hey, who wouldn’t want to have another one?
Pick me!
Heard so many good things about the platypod. Last week, during the worldwide photowalk, the walk leader had a platypod and this was the first time i had one in in my hands. He told me about the functionality it brings for him, and man, that is one multifunctional tool. Who wouldn’t want one?
Amazing. Not quite diversified as a gorillapod but smaller and easier to use on some situations. I would love to have one 🙂
I was tempted to say just
“hi, or whatever” 😉
but i want to thank you for your books and all your others efforts you put in your knowledge transfers.
Great Scott!, It would probably save a lot of time if I just left my mailing address here now. Thanks
I’d like to try one
Hi Scott! Thanks for creating the worldwide photowalk. I had such a blast leading the group around Patchogue, NY. …could’ve used a platypod though. Fingers crossed!!
Hello from Bad Axe, Michigan!!
Longtime Kelby One subscriber here. I’d love to try the Platypod.
Hi! I hike, and dragging even a travel tripod around is getting to be a pain for my aging ass. A Platypod might offer a useful solution in some circumstances, saving me a lot of sore shoulders from dragging that heavy gear around. I would certainly like the chance to find out. 🙂
Lots of comments!
I appreciate your tips and love a Platypod!
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a platypod! Thanks for having this contest!
I have a classic Platypod (first generation) that I love to pieces, but an Ultra would be a welcome upgrade 🙂
Also, any plans on when you’ll be back to teach in Europe?
I really need to give this a try. Help me out by gifting me one.
Now wouldn’t that be a “Treat” if I won this PlatyPod for my birthday this month!
That’s a great accessory and would be perfect for my trip to Europe next year!
Love your photos!
I never win but keep trying. Interesting product.
I built a DIY version but it’s definitely not as good as the original one, so I would be very happy to win one 🙂
Regards
Laurent
Would love to have one
Hey, Scott! Any plans to offer courses in South Florida?
Would love to get one of these.
Have a great day
This would be an interesting tool for first dance shots on weddings while I shoot with my other camera, this could stand somewhere on the ground or up high, and I can fire it with my remote between other shots…
If I don’t win it, I will look for it (if they get it here in Belgium)
I’ve looked at these for a long time but never pushed the button to buy
I’d love one. Oh, and bring your class back to DC
Great way to downsize your photo backpack.
I seldom take a tripod even when I know I should so here’s hoping I’m the lucky one.
Looks cool. Would love to try Scott!
This would be a fantastic addition to anyone’s gear.Thanks for giving us all a chance to get one.
Waiting for your latest photography course in Cincinnati!
Pick me! I NEED one. 😀
That would be a great addition to my shooting equipment.
Would love to get creative with the platypod!
You don’t know how I’m impressed by your photo with the PlatyPod. Thank you to show us this product.
That would give me more options when staging a picture.
Sounds like a great accessory.
Thanks Scott, for all the amazing advice over the years. Mark Skegness
Such a great device! I’d love to have one too!
This would be an excellent tool!
That’s great!
I’ve had my eye on one of these for a long time!
This is awesome! I would love one of these for my travels.
Hi, Scott. I’ve been trying to make my own DIY Platypod! Nah! I’d accept one anytime tomorrow. Thanks.
This would be well used, fingers crossed.
Love my small Platypod – hope to get the big one 🙂
That will be a nice gift for my wife.
We’d love you to come back Charlotte NC!
It’s mushroom photo season. It could be really handy
More than a photographer. Ready to put this pod to work.
Oooh would love to get one of these!
This would be great!
Hello!
That is a really neat camera support.
That’s awesome.
Omg this would be perfect for my up coming vacation. So need this.
I would love to try the platypod to get that low perspective!
Would love one of these!
Hi Scott, thanks for all the instruction and mentoring!
Platypod… I’d like to have one just so I can say plotypod plotypod plotyyyypod Fun!
That would be a great prize.
Would love this! Thank you 🙂
It would be wonderful to win one, thanks for giving us the chance!
Looks very cool, thanks Scott!
I moved this to the top of my wishlist after they wouldn’t let me bring my tripod into Arlington National Cemetery….
When I win, I’ll use it with a remote behind soccer goals!
Never realised I needed one until yesterday! Now I’m wondering how I’m still working without one! Thanks for all the content Scott.
Ooooooh the platypod ultra love!!!I so so want this in my kit to attach my long heave telephoto lenses on portrait mode. Would really really love to win this
Thanks Scott!!
I need one urgently before my trip to NYC, I don´t want to lift any suspicious walking around with my three legged tripod
Can’t Wait to see you in Richmond on the 21st – Trying to up my game – Would love to have a Max for the size and convenience.
Thanks for the offer to all of us – Congratulations to the lucky person!!
Dang. I could have used that last week in Cinque Terre. So many tripods, so little space. 🙂
Would love to win a platypod.
This would be awesome!
Fingers crossed!
I hope it is me.
Sign me up!
If I get it, I will write your name on it 🙂 🙂
Omg I so want one of these
These things are hot!
Hey Scott 🙂 I’d absolutely love one! Recently bought myself a Nikon D7500 & I am having photographers block as I keep shooting the same things. To have a Platypod that could give me a different view of scenery wherever I go, would be amazing!
I’ve heard you talk about these but to actually be able to have one would be great.
You gotta love a Platypod! They are awesome!
I would love to have a Platypod Ultra… certainly would be awesome!
Hi Scott!!
Awesome! You should get up to Philly at some point, if you haven’t already.
I would love to have one..Thanks
Didn’t think I could find a use for this.
Interesting device!
This is awesome! I love those things but always forget about buying one!
Thanks, Scott!
I have the original PlatyPod, but the new one would be great to have.
Awesome!
Bring on the Platypod!
