Product Review: Smart Parts TransPod

This is not so much a review as it is a "thank you" to Smart Parts for one of the most practical products released in recent years. The TransPod has such a simple design and purpose that will have other companies saying "Why didn't we think of that?" The sole purpose of the Transpod is to make room in already extremely full and cluttered gearbags.

The TransPod is a regulation sized pod that will hold about 140 paintballs and when not in use it can be collapsed to be a third of its size. Imagine one of those mini-pocket-teloscopes except it holds paintballs! We all know that carrying pods is one of the most important aspects to competitive play. We also know how easily pods break and the importance of bringing an ample amount of them to tournaments and practice. The Transpod will make those 18 pods you carry in your bag now take up the space that 6 normally would. What a space saver!

I have not had a chance to try out these pods for myself, but I dont think I need to to be able to tell that these things will serve their purpose. I have not seen these for sale on any websites yet but you can bet that Smart Parts will not be selling them cheap. My guess is that convenience will cost us $6 a pop this time around. But Clocktapus says "seriously, thank you, Smart Parts for making one of the most player friendly innovations to date."
