Digital camera reviews of Vanguard VS41 Flexible Mini Tripod
Digital camera Review: Good and cheap but not quite what i was looking for
Summary: 4 Stars
This item is perfect If your looking for a tripod thats can stand on almost any surface and not take up pocket room. At a price of less then two dollars this is by far your best bet. I was hoping for a little more though so I can't give it a perfect five. I do alot of solo filming in woods and basements and other such environments and i was hoping that I would be able to wrap the legs around branch's and other random support structures but the legs were not flexable enough. Great tripod over all but I think I'm still gonna check out a gorillapod.Digital camera Review: Good and smelly...
Summary: 4 Stars
Item looked like picture, except it did not have the Vanguard name on it, and it did have a pretty heavy duty chemical smell, which seems to be slowly dissipating over time. Except for the smell, item appears to be high quality for the price, and the relatively light weight Panasonic ZS3 is comfortably and securely supported by the three legs, as long as the legs are widely separated and on a firm surface. Since the ZS3 is a much a video camera as it is a photo camera, when pushed together, the legs provide a nice handle for shooting extended video while looking at the nice LCD screen without obstruction (it's especially secure when using the wrist strap at the same time). A highly practical item that makes handling of the smallish ZS3 much easier.Digital camera Review: Good for the price - but I'd still get a "big boy" tripod
Summary: 4 Stars
It's nice to have a small tripod like this for travel and for taking some photos of yourself by yourself - but I would certainly throw down for the "big boy" tripod also (because sometimes you just can't find that brick wall to put your camera on!) Great value though - I can't say I can't live without it, but I do enjoy the fact that I do have it.Digital camera Review: Good for the price, but....
Summary: 4 Stars
This tripod is good if you need it in a tight spot. It will work; just don't tip your camera at an angle. My camera (Panasonic FZ7) will tip it very easily, but the FZ7 is an dSLR like, so it is bigger than most compacts.
This is one piece, keep in mind. Nothing like a full sized tripod.
Don't think this is the gorrilapod - barely like it! The tripod is flexible... but not too flexible. It's a pain to make the legs more too much.
After all this being said, I still give it 4 stars. I knew what I was buying, as you should too after reading these reviews. If you want high quality and price, go with the gorrilla pod. I wish I could, but this was soo much cheaper.
As a tripod, it works. You don't have to use it just as a tripod too. If you hold your camera and the tripod, you can stabilize your camera more than just holding your camera.
If you can, go for the better quality. For the rest of us, this will do.
Digital camera Review: Good inexpensive tripod
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice inexpensive mini tripod that is very handy to have around. It will easily fit in most camera cases.
