I opened the package and as I was opening it I straightend out the legs on the tripod and as I did one of the legs broke off. I would not waste my money.
What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: It broke while I was trying to get it out of the packaging.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from Hailey, ID
The tripod legs are not sufficiently flexible, so the tripod cannot be readily attached to stationary objects. The method of attaching the tripod to the device that screws into a camera give false security of a solid connection - when connection is apparent, there is no connection. Be careful using this turkey. Its not worth the price, and I wish I had not make the purchase.
What's great about it: Solid construction
What's not so great: Inflexible legs, poor design securing camera attachment to tripod body
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from nashville, tn
it is hard to bend the legs, which is ok, but at the point where the legs connect to the mount it's very loose. it is very cheaply made, and i have had a very hard time getting it mount well in any position but just standing on it's 3 legs. the part that connects to the camera is not very sturdy, and wobbles easily. you can get something that works way better for about the same price.
What's great about it: nothing, get a different small tripod
What's not so great: wobbly, cheaply made, doesn't mount well, waste of $23, there are better products for the same $
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this thinking Ill use it sometime. I went to a camera store nearby to browse and saw the exact same thing on a rack, for less money. As I examined it still unopened in its original packaging, I could see it was clearly broken. Doesnt say much for the quality.
I returned mine to Best Buy and was given a refund no questions asked.
What's great about it: Certain applications
What's not so great: Not bulit well
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this to make videos while cycling. The two most critical contact points, where the leg connects to the tripod and the legs themselves are connected with plastic. Couple that with the fact the legs are extremely inflexible, and the unit is easily broken. I have a larger Joby Gorillapod unit and should have stuck with my gut and purchased another smaller version. The quick release is indeed a very nice feature. In two uses a leg as broken off due to the plastic coupling at the top of the leg and one of the feet, again connected with plastic broke as well. My advice, go with another brand.
What's great about it: quick release
What's not so great: poor quality construction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is useless. Buy a real tripod or if you're dying to have a flexible one, spend some money on it. This product is cheap and flimsy at best.
What's not so great: cheap

Perhaps, the pros and cons are only to be found in its appearance: the product is not a toy and is not intended for use by children.
|
This tripod features a 'Double-Lock' quick-release mechanism that may not be fully considered by someone new to using tripods. But once figuring out how it works, the camera can be readily carried apart from the tripod while requiring only a moment for the camera's reconnection to the tripod. Indeed, the tripod should not be carried or transported with the camera attached. If not handled reasonably for its designed purpose, I am sure that the tripod's design will easily fail.
|
A one-year warranty requiring pre-paid (and insured) shipping to a NJ address will not be of interest to many who shell out the equivalent of the price of 4 gallons of gas (or less) for this item. The mileage you get really does depend upon you!
|
Having owned it for only a few days, I fully expect that its design will continue to be serviceable for quite some time.
|
I find great utility in this item as my steadiness in holding the lighter than air digital camera is not so good.
|
And as my need for pictures is seldom other than with my wife and friends, I do like to be included in the picture. It is amazing how often a "knob" of some sort becomes available for use with this flexible tripod with its appendages that really can get a grip.
|
At under $20, it seems well worth the price. You can read more about the ToCAD product line on the Sunpak flexpod plus web page, www.tocad.com .
What's great about it: Perfect companion for digital cam/camcorder; mount cam to a fence, a limb of tree, a rail; even use as tabletop tripod!
What's not so great: None noted: will update if any experienced...
I would recommend this to a friend!
