'Podo,' the stick and shoot camera that took the world by storm last year, is now back on Kickstarter with a host of new features and a budget-friendly new price. While the new-and-improved version retains the same ingenious, hands-free design, the camera itself has been upgraded to allow users to take even better pictures than before.
Podo is an adhesive camera that can be stuck anywhere to capture the perfect moment or shot. The device works through the use of micro-adhesive pads that can be attached to any surface. Users can then wirelessly preview, capture and transfer their shots via the accompanying smartphone app. The newest version of the device also comes with the added benefit of 2x larger pixels, a wide-angle glass lens and the ability to sync 6 Podo cameras at once.
For consumers who are frustrated with trying to capture the perfect picture with their arm or a cumbersome selfie stick, Podo provides the perfect, hands-free solution.
