Hello Everyone!

First of all, thank you so much for stopping by — I truly appreciate it!
Many of you reached out to check on me because I haven’t been very active on my blog or social media lately. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your care and support. It means the world to me.
The truth is, I had to take a step back to support a family member who needed my full attention and care. Life sometimes calls us away from our usual routines, and this was one of those moments. Thankfully, things are getting better now, and I’m so happy to be back in my studio — creating, teaching, and sharing exciting news, tools, projects, and tutorials with all of you again!

Speaking of exciting news… I’ve got something to share with you right now!

I’ve been testing some new gadgets over the past few months, and I’m thrilled to finally tell you about them — because they’re not just useful, they’re for everyone.

I’m talking about two brand-new releases from Platypod:

PLATYPOD® MAG – a magnetic phone mount

PLATYPOD® TAB – a secure mount for your tablet

PLATYPOD® MAGGRIP – MagGrip includes the Platypod Mag, two adhesive metal rings for non-MagSafe devices and the same vertical stem with 360° swivel head tiltable to 90° and solid metal controller as our ever popular Platypod Grip.

I’ve been using both daily, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with them.

Why I Love the PLATYPOD® MAG

Let’s face it — our phones are with us all the time. They’re our communication hubs, our cameras, and even our mobile art studios. I’ve tried so many phone holders over the years, and most of them were either flimsy, bulky, or just frustrating to use.

That’s why I was so excited to try the PLATYPOD® MAG, and it did not disappoint. It’s secure, lightweight, fast, and incredibly easy to use. Just pop your MagSafe-compatible iPhone — or any phone with the included metal adhesive ring — onto the mount. It attaches to any standard 1/4”–20 bolt, and the magnetic grip is strong and reliable.

Even better, you can rotate and tilt your phone effortlessly while it’s mounted. As a photographer and artist who uses mobile devices constantly, this feature is a game changer.

  • Magnetic 1/4″-20 tripod phone mount
  • Directly compatible with iPhone MagSafe
  • Can also mount any non-MagSafe smart phone or the back of an Apple MagSafe charger using adhesive 55mm metal ring (2 included)
  • Ball joint for easy tilt positioning
  • Supports up to 2.2 pounds (1Kg)

Let’s Talk About the PLATYPOD® TAB

If you know me, you know how much I love my iPad Pro — I use it for everything: sketching, editing, watching shows outdoors, and even recording behind-the-scenes footage (if you haven’t tried that yet, trust me — it’s a must!).

The PLATYPOD® TAB holds my iPad Pro with ease. It’s stable, strong, and incredibly simple to mount. I’ve been using it every day for months, and it’s become a staple in my workflow — whether I’m creating, filming, or relaxing.

  • Tripod mount compatible with all iPads and similar tablets
  • Screen minimum 4.7 inches, screen maximum 11.2 inches
  • Combination lever controlled slide and screw controlled vise
  • Holds up to 3.3 pounds (1.5 Kg)
  • Three 1/4″-20 threaded mounting points

Final Thoughts

These tools have made my creative life easier, more flexible, and way more fun. If you’re looking for reliable mounts for your phone or tablet — whether you’re an artist, content creator, or just someone who wants smarter tools — I highly recommend giving these a try.

Thank you again for being here, and for your continued support. It’s good to be back — and I can’t wait to share more with you very soon!

With gratitude,
Victoria
