Digital camera reviews of QuikPod Handheld Convertible Tripod
Digital camera Review: Neat idea, nice product
Summary: 5 Stars
Quikpod is a very cool idea. When I first started using I had to try a few times to get it right. In the few instances that I used it, it worked like a charm.Digital camera Review: Not Durable
Summary: 3 Stars
The quick pod pro is a cool device unfortunately it has a serious design flaw. The plastic acrylic piece that the ball swivel is in is not durable. I used my quickpro only a handful of times and I could already see the crack forming where u tighten the nob to hold the camera in position. I tried to glue it but that didn't work and it is broken and useless now. I may try some JB weld on it. The piece is completely removable and if Quickpod sold replacement pieces it wouldn't be such a big deal. I am sure I'm not the only person to have it break on me so be warned. It is still a really cool gadget though. I hate asking strangers to take my picture. Good luck!Digital camera Review: Not bad - needs a little more heft on the mount system
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an O.K. product. Several of the reviews commented on the flimsy mount for the camera - and I have to agree this to be the case. I think with some care it can be made to work for a while without breaking.
The other part that is a little difficult is the "mirror" just below the mount that allows you to see yourself while taking the photo. This only works with doing some adjustments and requires the assistance of someone else. This is because it's impossible to know if the camera is actually coordinated with the mirror and the lens without looking through the viewfinder or LCD display. It's minor - but it would be nice to have an easier way to set it.
Overall, I'm sure I'll use it for its intended purpose for as long as I can.
Digital camera Review: Not for larger cameras -quick return
Summary: 1 Stars
This contraption must be just for mini pocket camera's - very flimsy. I tried to put alarger camera on it and it wouldn't hold it up easily. The little mirror? what mirror? Its really wasn't usable. Tripod legs were nice but the tripod was unstable for larger cameras, Wouldn't balance it. Definitely do not get it if you do not have a camera you can fit in a shirt pocketDigital camera Review: Not happy
Summary: 3 Stars
It seems to be a great gadget to have around - useful and handy, but it's shorter than I expected it to be. And I never even used the tripod yet and two of its legs already broke from the swivel while I was testing it. It would be fantastic if I could have replacement parts at no cost since it was never even used yet.
