I GAMBLED ON THIS TRIPOD DUE TO A NON-PROBLEM July 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Against my better judgment, I ordered this Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod, whhich actually arrived in a box labelled VidPro WT-5 model in a new 2008 small package. I almost did not order it because a prior review said if your camera has an off-center tripod mount, this thing will tip over. I have a Pentax 33WR, an almost solid waterproof 4-inch square chunk of metal an inch thick. So for $5 I gambled and won. The item came right away from THEMEMSTORE via UPS First Class, the first of three small orders I placed with three unknown-to-me different vendors. The construction is quite solid, and my chunky digital camera does not even show a hint of tipping over and is solid as a rock on this little gem. As it is with me, I do not even have to adjust the legs to counterbalance. I would guess tipping becomes a problem in the 35mm or superzoom digital camera ranges of size. This product strikes the perfect balance of very small size but enough heft to allow most all small digital cameras to work on it. Otherwise one would not see the very high proportion of favorable ratings on Amazon. I carry my camera in my standard size Sampsonite briefcase, and from now on this tripod is going to be with it.
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.
Small and Effective July 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Good and cheap but not quite what i was looking for June 29, 2008 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.
Nice to have along June 15, 2008 Good to carry around if you have a very light camera or centered tripod mount, horizontal shots only, but it does this job well.
