About GoPod™
Cory Shubert - inventor/photographer
www.pixelagogo.com
Cory Shubert has been a commercial photographer since the mid
80's. His work has ranged from product to people, studio to location.
When he started shooting for the Minnesota Wild of the NHL
in 2000, he soon found himself fighting with his use of the ugly
and dreaded monopod. While he had used them over his years of shooting,
he never became comfortable with using them, and many times would
use nothing instead of having to deal with their clumsy yet often
needed support. It was at this time that he started dreaming of a
device that gave him the same support as a monopod, but allowed him
to shoot in a comfortable and normal manor.
During the summer after the second season of the Wild, he started
looking on the web to find just such a device. After months of nothing,
he decided to build his own. He assembled the parts and set out to
fabricate his own wearable monopod, the first GoPod was born. He spent
the third season of the Wild using his homemade GoPod at every home
game, and found it to be just what he was looking for. He then decided
to offer one to the rest of the photographic community, and the rest
they say is history.
