Digital camera reviews of Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod
Digital camera Review: MiniTripod
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the tripod in a rapid fashion. I must say that I was not prepared for the size though, but that is my fault. I was expecting it to be a little larger than it was, but it is pocket size and easy to use.Digital camera Review: Nice!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's very sturdy, doesn't move when I'm pressing buttons on the camera. It's tiny (size of a pen) so it can't be used in every situation, but it's a great alternative to setting your camera on the ground which is what I used to have to do! Weighs just about nothing and the legs are pretty flexible.
The only complaint is that it isn't AS flexible as the gorillapods. It's difficult to try to wrap it around things. I tried it on a chair, and it was hard to get it to stay put.
Overall, well worth the money. If you can afford to go higher though, get a gorillapod!
Digital camera Review: Good quality, but be carefull
Summary: 4 Stars
The quality on this is great for the money. The only thing I would beware of is your camera tipping over. If you have a tiny camera, it might not be as much of a concern, but if you have a Digital SLR style camera, it can very easily tip over. You don't want a $5 tripod breaking your expensive camera.Digital camera Review: Lovely, tiny, and portable. Fantastic price to boot!
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to taking pictures I keep finding times when I need to keep the camera steady for low-light settings or for taking closeup shots of jewelry I make. This tripod is perfect for that. I didn't need a big 3 foot tripod for indoor jewelry shots--just something to elevate the camera from the table that allows me to angle the camera as necessary.
The flexible legs bend and turn for a lot of variety with positioning the camera. If you're worried about shaking the camera when pressing the button to take the picture, that's also easily solved by positioning the photo you want and setting the on-camera timer.
Other people are right about the tripod fitting in your pocket. It's very discreet. I'm not one who'd really enjoy lugging a big tripod around the zoo, but I took this mini-tripod to the zoo with no shame since it was in my pocket when not in use, and I was able to prop it up on things like fences, signs, and rocks while still being able to angle it due to the flexible legs. I was very happy with the photos I took. I was able to zoom more and take photos without a flash with better results than usual.
The mini-tripod twists in and out of the tripod connection on the camera so easily that it isn't a problem if it does happen to block your battery or digital card access. It's hardly rocket science and takes just a couple of seconds.
In the end, this little tripod is so inexpensive and tiny that it's absolutely worth buying.
Digital camera Review: Useful and cheap
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up due to the price and have been pleasantly surprised - it is small, but sturdy enough to support my Canon Digital Rebel XT with the 28-135mm IS USM lens. It can be a bit tricky to get it balanced, but it works. For the price, I can't think of anything better - it fits in your camera bag and if it breaks, buy another.
