JOBY's new multi-mode tripod packs a selfie stick, tabletop tripod, and mantis hook into 106g. Built for compact camera users who need a full-featured rig that clips to their belt.
HandyPod™ Clip Extend Tripod (HD03).
Los Angeles, CA — JOBY, the brand that invented the flexible tripod with GorillaPod®, today announces HandyPod™ Clip Extend, a multi-mode tripod designed for compact camera users who want a capable rig that goes wherever they go. At just 106g, HandyPod™ Clip Extend handles three distinct shooting modes, and clips to your bag or belt when you're done.
HandyPod™ Clip Extend packs tabletop tripod, selfie stick, and a mantis-style ledge mount into one lightweight design. A 360° ball head, integrated cold shoe, extendable pole, and hidden mantis hook make it one of the most capable compact tripods in its class. A built-in carabiner keeps it attached to you at all times, so it's always on hand when the moment demands it.
"HandyPod Clip Extend started from a simple frustration: compact camera rigs that do a lot but go nowhere with you. We wanted something you'd actually keep on you, clipped to your belt, ready to go. Tripod, selfie stick, mantis mount, cold shoe. All in something you'll forget is there."
What Makes HandyPod Clip Extend Different
Most compact tripods ask you to choose between portability and versatility. HandyPod™ Clip Extend doesn't accept that trade-off. Here's what fits inside a 106g form factor.
Three Modes. One Pocket-Sized Tripod.
HandyPod™ Clip Extend converts between tabletop tripod, selfie stick, and mantis-style ledge mount without any additional accessories. Deploy it on a flat surface for hands-free shooting, extend the pole for arm's-length framing, or hook it onto a railing, fence, or ledge with the hidden mantis hook for angles that simply aren't possible with a conventional tripod.
Clip It, Hang It, or Strap It.
A built-in carabiner lets you clip HandyPod™ Clip Extend to your bag or belt loop, so it's always within reach. Or thread a lanyard through the dedicated hole for extra security when shooting handheld. Either way, it's on you and ready to go — no digging through a bag required.
Every Angle. Every Accessory.
A 360° ball head lets you tilt and rotate between horizontal and vertical in one smooth move. An integrated cold shoe sits on top of the ball head so you can add a microphone or fill light without any extra mounting hardware.
Built for All Your Cameras.
A standard 1/4" thread connects HandyPod™ Clip Extend to compact mirrorless cameras directly. Action cameras and phones mount via optional adapters. The extendable pole reaches up to 35.8 cm in selfie stick mode, which is plenty of reach to frame group shots, vlog angles, or overhead perspectives.
Unique Angles, Without the Setup.
The hidden mantis hook unlocks shooting positions that a standard tripod can't touch. Hook it onto a wire fence, a railing, or any vertical surface for overhead angles and hanging perspectives. No extra mount, no rigging — just a hook that's already there when you need it.
A Compact Rig for Every Situation
HandyPod™ Clip Extend is built for action camera users, vloggers, and compact camera shooters who move fast and shoot everywhere. Whether you're hanging it off a fence at a skate park, extending it for a group shot, or setting it up as a tabletop tripod at a cafe, it adapts to the moment.
