 Works like it should September 9, 2008
I like how flexible this thing is and it holds my camera, Canon G7, as it should. The only downside if any is that the legs could be a bit longer. They worked perfect it is just that around larger tree branches I would feel safer if they wrapped more. Probably a mute point though.
 Makes a great addition to the trashcan September 8, 2008

So I've had my tripod for 3 days and it has completely fallen to pieces.
One of the little rubber feet came off the day I bought it, and today one of the arms fell off. There is no reattaching it, the wire inside actually broke. Great.
I could've made a better product with a pack of chewing gum and a rubber band.
Wow. This is seriously bad. September 7, 2008

Once you finally screw this into your camera, good luck trying to get it positioned "just right." The reality is you point your camera in some direction since it's so inflexible and hope you can claim the result was "artsy." I never ended up using it because it was so bad. Do yourself a favor and buy a real tripod.
A good different Tripod September 6, 2008
I like it as it does what it said it would do. I tried it on tree branches, outside on rocks and it works fine. The only drawback is the height.
Also with Nikon S600 where it has the screw at the corner, the camera tends to weigh down on one-side and the tripod needs to be adjusted to balance this and you might not get a nice shot because of that.
Could have been a 5 star but ... September 4, 2008

I just don't think this device is good enough for SLR-Zoom. I tried with 40D/grip and a small lens and XT 350D with grip and a small lens (50/1.4), in both cases the tripod legs hold firm with no slippage or bend(much to its credit, those complained about weak legs probably got pirate copies rather than the genuine article?). But the camera VIBRATES and hard to stay steady. 10sec timer helps to wait out the vibe. I think this has to do with the multi-section construction. So maybe the advertized line "for SLR+Zoom" is somewhat an exaggeration, at least for my purpose. But the device itself is otherwise well thought out and fabricated. My copy doesn't have any weak link at all.
Bottom line - great design, well made, just not strong enough for my combo of SLR-Zoom, or even SLR minus the Zoom :) But should be more than strong enough for most of the point-shoot or small camcorder. And the flexibility is an absolute advantage over conventional tripods.
Good stuff!
