The Platypod Handle is a vlogger’s grip and camera riser, destined to become one of the most diverse creative tools in the company’s history.

Platypod’s fifth Kickstarter campaign launched today on the popular KelbyMedia podcast, “The Grid.” The new Platypod Handle joins an extensive product group already established with the Platypod ecosystem. What makes this new accessory unique is its wide versatility in so many different applications. 

The Platypod Handle is 1.5″ in diameter and extends from 6 ½” to 10 ½” or can be reassembled to 3″ in height. At the top stage are eight ¼”-20 threaded sockets to accommodate Platypod elbows and goosenecks. The Handle will support 11 lbs. and has an Arca-compatible base with a stainless steel reinforced 3/8″ – 16 socket. It’s an all-aluminum machined ergonomic stackable body and is compatible with all Platypods and most common tripods.

“With my inventions, I always try to fill a need with a product that is not currently available. The Platypod Handle combines the functions of a multi-level riser, video grip and cage, a tripod center column extender, as well as a potential boom arm. Like all our quality products the Handle is finely machined, rock-solid aluminum build and will become indispensable in every artist’s imaging tool kit.”  – Larry Tiefenbrunn, CEO/Inventor, Platypod

The Platypod Kickstarter Campaign runs through May 31, 2023. Although the retail price is set at $69, backers can pledge any one of eight different levels, each with considerable savings for both the handle and other Platypod products. First-day backers will be privy to a super special deal.

There are complete details, images, and videos of the new Platypod Handle on the Kickstarter page where backers can determine the tier they prefer and make a pledge. You can learn more about other Platypod models, accessories, and the company’s unique, premium Platyball tripod heads at http://www.platypod.com.

A space to give a voice to the Latino community before members of Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)

 The National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) continues its mission to ensure a dignified life for older adult communities in the United States. As a result, it has set out to be a voice for the community and to advocate for its key challenges in order to achieve substantial, timely and favorable change for all.

To accomplish this, NHCOA will host its virtual Legislative Breakfast on May 2, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (EST) via GoToWebinar. The event seeks to open the discussion on key issues affecting Latinos before members of Congress, who will be the special guests of this new project. NHCOA also aims to bring together legislators and constituents to discuss legislative priorities and understanding from leaders of the older adult communities in the U.S. This event aims to facilitate discussions around the preeminent matters impacting older adults today, such as improving the access and affordability of drugs to treat obesity and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the importance of vaccination schedules that include immunizations against influenza, pneumococcus and shingles.

This space will also serve to address other issues related to health care for older adults, such as barriers to access to prescription drugs, health insurance barriers, and the importance of Medicare for communities. There will also be discussions regarding access to treatment for chronic diseases such as obesity and Alzheimer’s and the challenges in caring for patients with these conditions and health disparities between black and Latino communities, exacerbated by the inequities uncovered by the pandemic.

The Legislative Breakfast will feature presentations by NHCOA experts along with national and international organizations working with older adults, among others. The event is free and open to the public.
