The GPOD is the perfect accessory to capture the perfect swing footage.

On the driving range or a course’s signature hole, I promise you’ll find me having this exact conversation: “Excuse me, could I bother you to take a swing video?”
Once is acceptable, but if something looks off and requires a tweak, I will want another video. And I’m not the only one.
During every golf lesson, instructors will take a video so you can see what they’re talking about. Lessons are expensive, and you can’t always practice with a pro. For the times you’re hitting balls on your own but want to self correct, GPOD has your back.
I used to fumble around with a tripod, loosening and tightening the inconvenient screws. But when I found out that the GPOD could slip right into my golf bag, I made the switch.
I confused the product for an alignment stick at first – that’s how light it was. The carbon fiber shaft has a sharp end that creates a stable foundation when you stick it in the ground. If you already carry alignment sticks in your bag, GPOD offers a mini version that clips right onto them.
GPOD mini
Introducing our new GPOD mini…it’s the easiest way to mount and film your golf swing. Just clamp the GPOD mini to any alignment stick* and stick your phone to the magnet!
What we love about the magnetic mount is its cradle free design that allows one-handed use. We made this with 6 Rare-earth Neodymium magnets, giving you extra confidence your phone won’t fall out. It’s strong enough to even hold up your iPad (tablet). You can also stream your favorite sports games and/or tv shows while you practice.

Cradle-free design for one-handed use.
Connects to alignment sticks*, golf shafts, car head rest, or any other thin cylindrical rod you can think of (contact us if you discover new ways to use the GPOD mini!)

The magnets are 100% safe for your electronics.

At the top, the full-sized GPOD has a magnetic mount that moves in every direction. The 360 degree adjustability not only allows you to film swings down-the-line, but you can also look at your putting stroke from a bird’s eye.
Setup couldn’t be easier. You attach a thin metal sticker to the back of your phone and the magnet holds the mount very tightly. If you already have a car vent magnetic mount, it will work for that too!
