 Does the job - Nothing Special May 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 Great travel buddy! May 28, 2008
useful ... easy ... compact ... i think it fits any camera. great for travels, especially if you're by yourself and need to set up photos so you can be in the shot!
One of the smallest mini tripods out there April 28, 2008
The Vanguard VS41 is very small and compact. With the legs all pushed together it takes up no more room than a long roll of nickles. As such, it's a perfect item to throw into your camera bag and forget about - until you need a steady shot (or a shot of yourself when no one else is around) and don't want to try balancing your small digital on a rock (the normal use of a mini).
While it a sturdy little guy, and easily adjusts for a uneven surface, the flexible legs are designed for the compact digitals that are so common. Don't try mounting your SLR or large camera, as it won't hold much weight. If your camera is on the heavy side, try the VS-10 instead.
To mount a camera, you just rotate the tripod until the screw goes home, then bend the legs out for the angle you want.
Value & Portability April 7, 2008
Arguably, you're never really going to be able to use a tripod this big for a lot of shots, but it's small, lightweight, and easy to slide into a bag or pocket. What I have found is that it's perfect for setting up the camera and taking a shot at night, and allowing the shutter to do the work, rather than go to a higher ISO setting. For a few dollars, you will not be disappointed.
Does a great job for the price March 31, 2008
For the price, it is a great buy. Very sturdy, and fits in my pocket. Comes in handy when you're on the road and don't want to lug around a big bulky tripod.
