Thanks for the response, Jeff. That was kind of my impression looking at the Trek Pod in the store. It is good to have first hand confirmation though.

I purchased this Trek Pod Go several months ago (around Christmas) and I really really love it. I found the best price at Amazon and then shortly after made an unrelated trip to our local camera store and they had it for the same price so I bought it on the spot. I rarely use it in very windy conditions but have used it in mild wind conditions. If you don’t have to be in the picture, just keep the camera strap around your neck so if the pod falters, it’s all secured from crashing with your camera. And there’s a hand strap. Works best if you have a remote too. Tried and true. Regarding the magnet. I did a bit of reading and I have no fear and have not had issues. This pod is worth it’s weight and I’d recommend.

Thanks Paul – and I hope so too.

I do hope to hear more on this question from Jeff and perhaps even Trek-Tech here soon, as this really does concern me. I like the idea of this a lot and would like to use it – but not unless I KNOW that it won’t mess with my $$$ camera’s brains.

No, I was actually pressing the shutter button with the self-timer turned on so I could run around and get in the group shot.

thanks for the reply. In the picture, is the shooter’s left hand gently touching the tech pod to give it some stability?
