Santa Claus can capture photos of all of his gift giving around the globe with a convenient new camera tripod small enough to fit in the pocket of his red suit. Square Jellyfish is expanding its line of helpful accessories with a new pocket-sized tripod that will be available just in time for the holidays. The tripod will be perfect for any photographer who wants to stabilize a camera for pictures or videos.

Ideal for photography hobbyists on the go, travelers who dont want to carry a heavy tripod or families wanting to capture photos of parents and their children at home and virtually anywhere, the Square Jellyfish Pocket Tripod is portable and easy to use. It can be mounted quickly to any camera with a tripod screw mount. The unique shape of the tripod allows a camera to be positioned at many different angles while holding a camera steady to take a picture.

We have seen enormous interest in a small tripod thats easy for photographers to use on the go in any setting, said Judie Kuhn, Square Jellyfish product manager. This new product can steady a variety of cameras at many different angles yet its small enough to tuck in to a pocket, purse or bag without adding any weight or bulk to a trip.

Who hasnt wished they had one of these when taking a photo of a group or family, always forcing one personthe photographerto be left out of the shot? Kuhn said.

Photography enthusiasts can use the Pocket Tripod for hands-free positioning of a camera, which can be swiveled 360 degrees held level, or angled upward or downward in any combination. It is designed to support lightweight, compact cameras or small video cameras.

The Square Jellyfish Pocket Tripod is made from sturdy polycarbonate/ABS plastic, weighs only 0.4 ounces and measures 2.75 x 1.75 and is .75 tall. Available in mid-December from Amazon.com, each Square Jellyfish Pocket Tripod is $ 6.95.

The second in a new collection of consumer accessories with the Square Jellyfish label, these pocket-friendly tripods complement the first line of Square Jellyfish products, which were small cases to store Apple ear buds that double as a stand for a smartphone or tablet. Designed in the U.S.A., Square Jellyfish patents are pending.

Garmin fenix GPS watch Ideal For Backpackers and Back Country Enthusiasts

Bozeman, MT (PRWEB) July 19, 2012

The new Garmin fenix GPS watch offers backpackers and back country enthusiasts a wrist top navigation option with many of the best attributes of a handheld GPS and it leaves them with their hands free according to the Heart Rate Watch Company.

“The new Garmin fenix is going to take the outdoor adventure world by storm when it is released in late August”, predicts Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, “You can advance program your route, assuming you know map coordinates, and then let the watch navigate you – pretty sweet option really”.

If there is one limitation with fenix it would be extended backpacking trips of 4, or more, days duration because the battery only lasts about 50 hours on 1 minute recording intervals. “The

other option is to get a USB charging stick or two and bring it or get the Garmin External battery kit with a solar charger”, says Squire. He adds, “For all-day hikes or, two to three day backpack adventures, this watch is very strategic kit, but beyond 50 hours you need to figure out how to re-charge it.”

For back country skiing and downhill skiing the Garmin fenix can map every run and upload those maps to Garmin Connect complete with vertical feet, distance, heart rate and more data.

“Having detailed maps, marking cool camping sites or geographic features, like waterfalls, is part of what makes this all such an interesting technology because it allows you to share your knowledge with friends,” says Squire. He adds, “It also gives you the precise ability to navigate to these features again in the future by creating way points.”

By loading trip data and way points a person could literally plan their whole trip out by watch, including side routes, features and detours. “It cuts down on the time it takes to find things and it eliminates the error, something I’ve fallen victim too on many river trips down the Grand Canyon and here in Montana,” says Squire.

The new Garmin fenix will be available in late August and advanced orders are highly encouraged due to the high popularity. It’s only competitor, the Suunto Ambit, provides no onscreen maps.
