FEATURES
Large Pixel Size
The pixels on our sensor (2.2 μm) are 50% bigger than those in the iPhone 7 (1.5 μm) and the Galaxy S7 (1.4 μm).
Bigger pixels collect more light, leading to increased dynamic range, improved low-light performance, and reduced noise. Bigger pixels = better picture.
Choosing a 5MP camera allows bigger pixels within the same sensor size, and is enough megapixels to print at 14"x11" full resolution.
Micro-Adhesive Sticky Pad
Podo sticks with a quick press, then peels right off. It physically "grips" the wall so it doesn't wear out, and you can clean it with water. Think gecko's feet...but on a camera.
No other stands, clips, or mounts required. Just slip Podo in your pocket and you're good to go.
Sound like magic? It feels like it too! Just wait until you try it yourself.

The Podo App
1. Wake Podo up and start the preview, all from within the app
2. Adjust settings, hit the shutter, or start a countdown
3. Choose your favorite shots and transfer them to your phone
When you're done, just stick Podo in your pocket and it will return to sleep automatically.
The Podo App is free for iOS and Android. Requires iPhone 5/Android 4.4 or higher.
Photo transfer times vary with phone model and strength of Bluetooth connection. Typical transfer time for a 5MP photo is 2-4 seconds.
App Modes
PHOTO: Simple. Fun. Our bread and butter.
LAPSE: Set any interval for the easiest time lapse ever. (Does not require connection with phone)
VIDEO: 720p HD video at 30 fps. Your phone records the audio like a wireless mic.

ABOUT US
The founders, Eddie, Jae, and Sam, began as friends and roommates at UC Berkeley. We got tired of someone always getting left out of group photos and needing cables to transfer photos from Jae's DSLR. We wanted something much more versatile and easy to use, so we made it!
We raised $427,000 last year from over 3,600 amazing backers. Podo shipped worldwide, won global design awards, and starred on TV, magazines, and even a music video.
Podo represents our passion, our team’s grit, and our conviction that technology should be fun and simple. Thank you to every fan and supporter who’s shown us love along the way.

Risques et défis
This is no longer our first rodeo, and there are many reasons why we expect to deliver faster than last time. For one, this version is much improved but similar enough that we can reuse much of what we learned.
Second, we're further along in the manufacturing process; we've already down-paid for the early bird units and tooling has already begun. Third, our new manufacturer is much more experienced with high volumes of cameras. Lastly, we know not to run into the same certification delays as last time.
And of course, we are still under Highway1/PCH's experienced wing, who's motto is appropriately, "We Make".
