When the Gorillapod was announced, creatives were thrilled by just what they could do because of the flexibility that the bendable and posable tripod allowed. But a new Kickstarter named Flex Shot is looking to knock everything else off axis. The Flex Shot comprises of a moldable piece of matter that can constantly change shape to shift its center of gravity and keep your device propped up. They’re targeting it at smart phone, entry level DSLR, and tablet users.

Plus, it’s waterproof and fully submersible. The Flex Shot needs $50,000 in order to start up, and this one may become the envy of loads of mobile shooters.

When you’re done with it, you can probably just willingly beat it up–but only after you’re done with that shoot that has been annoying you for a while now.
