 Love It May 20, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this tripod before going on vacation this year. I was able to be in some of the pictures this year. It was so easy to pack, light to carry around while attached to the camera, and always ready to take a picture. I always take family group photo when we go on vacation. I didn't have to prop up the camera on a shopping bag of souvenirs I bought, so I could be included in the photo and avoid getting the ledge of whatever the camera was sitting on in the picture. I think I will also buy the Snake Monopod as well when it's available.
Brilliant, fun, and one downside. May 18, 2007

First of all, I use this with a Canon PowerShot S3IS which is a rather heavy digital camera, so it you've got a light and compact camera, you might not have the problem I'm having.
I bought this tripod to help steady my camera to sell stuff on auction sites (you likely know what I'm talking about here). I can sit this tripod on my desk or wrap it around something else to suspend the camera in up in the air and shoot downward. The flexible legs give me a world of opportunities for getting different angles on pictures. I can make minor height or angle adjustment just by bending one or more of the legs a bit.
Also, even outside I can wrap the legs around my hand and it helps me steady the camera for certain pictures.
The downside with my particular camera is that the structure is not stiff enough. Between the weight of the camera and the pressure needed to trip the shutter, I end up moving the camera even when I have it locked down on the tripod on my desk, so I need one hand to steady the camera even with the tripod. That said, the one drawback I've encountered is worth it considering the creative possibilities this cool tripod opens up.
One more thing, I realize I might be better off with the digital SLR version, but right now I'm just too cheap to buy it.

Although I was somewhat skeptical as to whether the product would be worth the purchase price, I have found this flexible tripod to be most convenient. My initial use was on a trip to London and was able to capture a great family family photograph by wraping the flexible legs around a metal railing to obtain the right height and angle. It is also easy to carry as the tripod can be folded to fit almost any camera bag; a strange appearing item but it went right through airport security without any inquiries! I use this tripod with a Kodal P880 digital camera. I believe there is a smaller "pod" for smaller digital cameras as well as a larger model.
works great... May 17, 2007

can clip it anywhere and doesn't take up much room... good for the lazy photographer like me.

My camera is a light digital, this tripod works incredibly. I take it kayaking and set up on a rock for video and can use around the house (it even holds to the doorjam)! Will definately buy as a gift for others.
