The GPOD is the perfect tool to capture golf swings and improve your game
Welcome to Gimme That, a GOLF.com column where we’ll highlight one notable item we think you might like. Whether it’s an article of clothing, an intriguing electronic device or anything in between, we want to share these items with you because they’ve generated a bit of chatter by our water cooler (or, these days, on our Slack channel). So sit back, scroll down and keep up with the latest gear golf has to offer.
A golfer is always thinking about their swing. In our minds, we’re one tweak away from making it on Tour. I spend more time watching footage of my swing than I’d like to admit. The problem is finding the right way to capture swing videos. It’s annoying to ask your playing partners to record more than one swing a round, and my phone is always falling over when I prop it up at the range. The GPOD is the solution golfers have been looking for.

This accessory is a must-have for any golfer who constantly records swing footage. The magnetic mount has 360-degree adjustability to capture any angle you’re seeking. And, if you’re focused on your putting stroke, you can adjust to capture overhead views. When you’re not capturing footage, the GPOD doubles as a great alignment stick.
The mount is compatible with smartphones, GoPros, and even iPads. It’s a great tool for players and teachers alike. When it’s not in use, you can slide the GPOD directly into your golf bag for storage. You’ll barely notice the 8 oz addition. If that’s too much for you, there’s a GPOD mini version, too.
