 Awesome little invention February 14, 2010
Mark A. Baker (SLC, UT USA)
This is a great tripod for a point and shoot. It makes a great stocking stuffer. What I like about it is how flexible the legs are, so you don't have to be on a level surface to get the shot you want. It's small, so it will fit in any camera bag, no problem. Mine has lasted several trips over three years, and it works as well as day 1.
More than adjustable three-legged stand February 12, 2010
Harshal Patil (India, USA)
Before buying this item, I did lot of research on all types of tripod.
1. All Flexi mini Tripods in this category are same except Brand name on Tripod. I purchased Zeikos and other 2 brands from Amazon.
I tried this tripod on Sony Cybershot DSC (Whose tripod holder is not at center place (Sony likes different)). but I did not face any issue with that.
This Tripod strong enough for a Canon SX10IS.(its similar to SLR without additional lenses. But You need to spread out the legs of Tripod.)
2. I bought this mini Flexi tripod and ended up making this my travel companion. Here are my reasons for liking it a lot:
- It's sturdier than I expected. The rubber feet prevent slipping and the flexible legs can easily hold a typical camera without bending under the weight.
- While it's light enough to carry around, you can keep in your pocket. Flexi Tripod size is less than 6".
- With the legs spread out at the bottom it makes a great grip for little cameras.
- Its perfect replacement for Mini Tripod also Mini Tripod are more bulkier, heavier.
- Flexi Tripod helps you a lot to take pictures on self timer with less space available for Tripod.
- You can spread out the legs also bend/twist the legs (not at great extend)to adjust the angle.
- Unlike straight-leg tripods, you can make the feet grip a vertical edge, like a cube partition.
- shooting at a low speed and risk of blurring the shot, You can use any object/ place for stability (6" X 6" place is more than enough)
- Very nice tripod for who thinks they are not professional photographers.
Drawbacks
- One design drawback is the mounting screw is fixed. You don't get a little thumb knob to twist when mounting the camera, you have to rotate the whole tripod. But it's so small and the legs squeeze together so close that it's easy to do.
- Tripod height is less if you keep on ground its but obvious it makes some angle when you are standing for photograph.
- I am not sure about life of this Tripod, But It can go for 2-3 years at least :)
Conclusion:
Hello!!!
You are buying this item for nothing. This item is just for $1-$4 range. Don't compare with Costly gorilla pod/ mini Tripod.
Who needs quick photographs at any place(and bother to ask others for clicking your snap). If you lost this item you will never mind.
This item is great you can go for that.

Mrs. Susan T. Shaw Burroughs (Vestal, NY United States)
I always find it so helpful to read all the reviews before I purchase anything and this case was no different. Someone wrote "it is the type of item that you don't know you need till you buy it" Absolutely true, once I attached it to the camera it was clear that I had been missing this, so much so, that the camera should have supplied one!
I like to video my bowling team and it was very hard to hold the camera with all the bowling gloves that I wear, so being able to now hold the camera by the tripod, my gloved hand only has to move the zoom and press the start button.
So just order this because it should have been included in the price of your Camcorder in the first place!
neat little utility January 13, 2010
PenMangler (alabama, US of A)
this is a handy little utility that you can shove into a pocket or a glove box and have access to a steady and sturdy tripod. I bought it to use for the Flip, but it fits my digital cameras too. One camera is an old Cannon 4.1 mg. It's heavy as far as cameras go now. But it sits on the tripod and is steady as can be. The tripods legs move in any direction so you can mount it to uneven terrain - rocks, etc. - and make it level for your shots. The legs stay where you put them. But the best part of it is its price and the versatility it gives you.
I recommend it.
