The New Naturescapes Skimmer Ground Pod II.... The Skimmer is the ultimate support for ground-level bird and wildlife photography and is now redesigned! Made with super heavy duty reinforced crush-proof injection molded plastic it is rugged yet lightweight, weighing less than 15oz. With a unique circular design, it allows you to slide camera equipment in any direction on the ground, even through mud, sand, and grass. Your equipment stays clean and dry, even in up to an inch and a half of water! Approximately 10" in diameter and 1.5" high, the Skimmer's flat bottom allows it to slide and pan easily along the beach or mud without scooping up earth, protecting equipment from grit and moisture. The sides are turned out slightly to push sand and mud out and away, helping to keep debris from coming over the top. A protected area inside the plate can even be used to store teleconverters, extension tubes, and other incidentals for quick access while shooting. The Skimmer was designed by photographers for photographers to meet our rigorous demands in the field.
