## Description

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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this pod ii still require a riser for the wimberly 2?**
A: Hello - I am the manufacturer and it does not require anything else to use with the Wimberley 2. The riser is only if you wish to get a little more height or to use it with only a quick release clamp on a beanbag.

**Q: Does it come with the Gimbal Head as shown in the product image?**
A: Thank you for your question. No, the gimbal head is not included as stated in the product description.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid and well designed, will last a lifetime.
*by E***T on March 22, 2025*

Well built, solid machined aluminum block to which mount a gimbal or other head, SS 3/8 screw. Made from thicker plastic material including the ribs, than I expected, should last a lifetime. It's going to make down low shore bird photography much easier, while limiting sand/dirt/mud on expensive photography gear. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the design
*by S***Y on July 8, 2022*

Easy to attach head; I switch over a head from a spare tripod. The design is ideal when one wants to slide the pod forward to gradually approach wildlife. Getting low makes all the difference. Despite being light, the pod is well made and shows excellent build quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful item
*by J***  on July 26, 2021*

Great for wildlife photography. Perfect for lizards, snakes and small mammals.
