Our Story

In 2017 Caleb and Pat attended a video conference where they painfully watched YouTuber after YouTuber and Vlogger after Vlogger struggle to transition from filming themselves to setting down their incredibly expensive equipment. “Don’t tip over, don’t tip over, don’t tip over…” They were using a piece of gear that had been repurposed by the vlogging community into something it wasn’t built for. It was cumbersome, time consuming, and honestly, kinda hard to watch. They thought there had to be a better way, but there wasn’t. So, naturally, they did what two entrepreneurs used to solving their own problems do. They came up with a solution. Fourteen months later, at the start of 2019, SwitchPod launched on Kickstarter. It was successfully funded in 12 hours and started shipping later that year.

Our Principles

STRONGER

Our products are designed to last and withstand heavy-weighted rigs. Not necessarily because we believe you’re always filming with cinema level equipment, but because whatever gear you use is cinema level precious to you and we want to support and protect it.

FASTER

Filming is a process. Your setup shouldn’t be. We want to make creating videos easier so that you can go from 0 to filming in seconds if you’d like. Remember, we’re creators ourselves, and the less messing with our setups, the better. 

SLIMMER

We’re a generation on the go and we wanted to make packing, carrying, and pocketing your gear that much easier. No more wondering if you can fit something in your bag.
