The FlowPod and DSLRs - The FlowPod works very well with DSLR Cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 7D, and Canon Rebel T2i.
The monopod mode offers a significant advantage over competing products because it adds functionality missing from other handheld stabilizers. Having the monopod available allows you to get a rock-solid stationary shot without having to remove your camera to switch to another support device. Many stabilizers never get used due to their limited functionality and time-consuming setup caused by having to switch from stabilizer to other supports and back again. With the FlowPod, setup is a breeze and you won't even need to switch to another support to get the shots you want.
With the FlowPod's built-in patented monopod system, the operator can quickly collapse the monopod and return to stabilizer mode in seconds without having to re-balance. Switching back to monopod mode is just as quick - just lock the handle and extend the monopod. The rapid mode changes of the FlowPod make it great field tool and a true bargain in the high-priced world of stabilizers.
We've had comments from current FlowPod owners expressing regret that they threw away money on less versatile stabilizers before getting the FlowPod. There's simply nothing else on the market like the FlowPod.
Only the FlowPod allows Low-Mode shots from a handheld stabilizer, and with our patented system, you can adjust the camera to any desired height off the ground or even below foot level along overhanging edges.
The unique balancing plate system is a simple but valuable tool included with every FlowPod that saves a lot of time by allowing you to quickly and accurately balance your camera in one attempt.
A superbly versatile stabilizer for video and DSLR cameras, the FlowPod can be used as a fluid handheld stabilizer, rock-solid monopod, or gliding low-mode tool. The FlowPod is used and recommended by filmmakers, cameramen, and wedding/event videographers worldwide.

I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to CALL me after you were unable to reach me via e-mail yesterday. I am glad that you contacted me when you discovered that the mouse that I ordered was no longer available in the color that I wanted and am very impressed with the personal approach that you and PowerMax have taken even though PowerMax is an online vendor. Even though I was not able to purchase from PowerMax on this occasion, I will certainly buy from you in the future. It's nice to see that there are still people out there that care about their customers.

I'm appreciated your taking care of the video card issue. Your company's customer service is vary good. You take some cost to fix the video card issue. So, I buy this software from here not other company as my appreciation. I would really like to thank you for the astounding customer service you and PowerMax have provided; ironically, not even Apple comes close to service such as this.
- Thanks so much,
