1 out of 5 stars Cheap and flimsy   July 14, 2008

The legs broke off the fifth time I used this tripod. The metal just sheared and broke. Even though I didn't pay much for it, it wasn't even worth that.


5 out of 5 stars Small and Effective   July 14, 2008

Easily small enough to fit in a purse or a pocket. It's about the size of three regular wooden pencils held tightly together and only 5 inches long. The legs are very sturdy and have enough weight to support my Kodak C813 even though the tripod socket is on the edge of the camera. It could probably be adjusted for heavier cameras by moving the feet (which grip quite well, by the way) closer to the center of gravity. It would be great for timed photos or for long exposure shots when you don't need a larger tripod for the height.


4 out of 5 stars Good and cheap but not quite what i was looking for   June 29, 2008
James R. Burke (Ypsilanti, Mi USA)
This item is perfect If your looking for a tripod thats can stand on almost any surface and not take up pocket room. At a price of less then two dollars this is by far your best bet. I was hoping for a little more though so I can't give it a perfect five. I do alot of solo filming in woods and basements and other such environments and i was hoping that I would be able to wrap the legs around branch's and other random support structures but the legs were not flexable enough. Great tripod over all but I think I'm still gonna check out a gorillapod.

Good to carry around if you have a very light camera or centered tripod mount, horizontal shots only, but it does this job well.

What can I say that wasn't said in the title? Not much.

For the price it's not bad, but it's not great either.

The con is the legs could be better. They move, but they don't hold their position that well. They generally "move back" into place a bit.

I'm no expert in flexible tripods. :) ...and so maybe this is the norm for these things. Maybe you would pay 10 or 20x as much for one that had legs that moved and solidly held in place to the positions you move them to. I don't know.

I guess overall it's hard to complain for the few dollars I spent. When I need to take a really steady picture then I have something to do that with.

If you're looking for something "professional" then I would say this isn't it. For casual, home consumer use it's fine.
