4 out of 5 stars Really good cheap tripod   October 15, 2008
PabloFenixx (Where the money and the music is)
I actually used it for a short stop motion school project. It worked really well considering how small it is. I didn't have high expectations, I just needed something to keep the camera from moving. The only reason I took off was because if you push too hard the legs start to fold back into themselves, but I wrapped them in duct tape for the project length and it worked wonderfully. Good buy for a temporary thing or a hobby, but professinals will definitely want something a little more stable.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good mini tripod   August 6, 2008

The good:

Small
Made of metal
Gold paint
Ball mount has a good tightening screw
Legs are stable when fully retracted

The bad:

Not ideal for heavy cameras since the legs will retract under the camera's weight when extended
Tripod smells like grease



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Tripod   July 5, 2008

Standing just a few inches high, this tripod is ideal for on-the-go use. I was surprised by the weight - fairly hefty - and was initially put off. I've come to appreciate that this tripod has some heft to it because it keeps whatever I have mounted to it nice and secure.

I bought this tripod mainly for use on my Zoom H4 audio recorder. The removal of handling noise is essential with small audio recorders!

I will likely use this in the future for my small digital camera and *maybe* my dSLR but I doubt that it would have the ability to hold up such a device.

The swivel head is easy to use but I would prefer if it were just a bit stiffer. Once locked down though, the camera plate doesn't shift.

Great product.
