Two years ago, Toronto-based toy inventor Wayne Fromm was traveling with his family and was tired of asking strangers to operate his camera for a family photo. The option of holding his arm out with his camera aimed at the group produced terrible results with heads unintentionally cut out of the picture and got him thinking. This musing led him to invent the Quik Pod, an item that can be best described as an “extendable hand-held tripod” that lets you properly frame and photograph yourself with your friends and family.

And the reaction to the Quik Pod? “I took it on a cruise to Cozumel last month and people from all over wanted to buy one, even a research scientist from New York!” says Fromm. “I use it wherever I go. I would buy one even if I hadn’t invented it.” Michael Holmes, Category Manager for Black’s Photography had this to add,”The Quik Pod solves an everyday problem for photographers. We’re glad to be able to make it available to our customers”. And Larry Sherman, a customer stated about his recent purchase, “I can finally take group pictures that include me for a change.”
