Photo Pod is a Personal Tent That Keeps Photographers Dry and Warm
Need something more than a wearable umbrella for your outdoor photography in bad weather? Check out the Photo Pod. It’s a tiny personal tent for photographers that’s tall enough to stand up in.
The Cincinnati-based company did $2 million in sales and earned $1 million in profit last year, according to USA TODAY.
Like the Original Pods, the new Photo Pods are durable and built of steel wire, weather-resistant polyester, and cold-treated clear PVC.
It measures 6-foot-6-inches tall (~2m), allowing even tall photographers to stand and shoot while protected within. Each of the 3 viewing sides features a zippered slit that you can stick your camera through.
“Every photographer should own one of these personal sport tents,” Under the Weather says, “especially since they pop-up when you’re in a hurry!”
When it’s not set up, the Photo Pod is also lightweight and portable, weighing just 10 pounds and collapsing into a disc measuring just 2 feet in diameter. It can be popped up and taken down in just seconds.
Other features include a fully enclosed design with zippers that can be accessed from both the inside and outside, 3 transparent sides for 270-degree viewing, body heat warming of up to 30-degrees, and UPF 50 sun protection.
Here are some photos of photographers utilizing other Pod models for protection while shooting outdoors:
You can purchase a Photo Pod in white or black for $200 from the Under the Weather website.
