Platypod has launched a new Kickstarter project to fund its latest ultra-compact travel tripod: Delta. Platypods have long been a compelling option for photographers who want the smallest possible camera support when traveling light. Platypods consist of a compact yet sturdy aluminum plate supported by tiny metal feet. A standard 3/8-16 thread attachment on top of the plate lets you attach a standard tripod head, giving you a shooting platform capable of supporting a heavy full-frame camera and lens, while still being small enough to pack into almost any kit bag. What's more, an advantage of being so unlike a conventional tripod is it's stealthy and unlikely to contravene tripod restrictions in museums and other indoor public spaces.
