Stabilize your compatible camera or camcorder on a tabletop using this Sunpak PlatinumPlus Mini-D 620-120BB tripod, which features 2 extendable leg sections and a locking ball head, so you can easily adjust the position of your device.

I bought the Mini-D to go with the MS Studio Live-Silver webcam. I wanted the ability to move the cam around for more viewing options and it has worked great for the application. The parts are a combination of metal and plastic parts. Better than the supper cheap.
I can see it is not designed for heavy cameras but, I have been able to use it with my Sony Video Cam giving a great little desk support system.
What's great about it: Size, Storage ability.
What's not so great: Can be over loaded....But, then again use common sense it is a Mini.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had read other reviews prior to buying the Life Cam Studio Webcam-Silver and was deciding between the $20.00 cheaper black model. I read in the reviews that the computers are not acepting the full 1280 HD input from the cam and was wondering if it was worth the additional money. Well,, that was one point to ponder but when I compared and saw the more expensive model had a screw hole in the base for use with a small desktop tripod....That was my tie breaker at the time. I knew the camera being mounted on a tripod gave it more options of use. I brought it home with the $17.00 metal desktop tripod and attached it. Now I can move it anywhere I want it and work on snap shots for internet site sales...OH, by the way....it does produce a HD video (not quite the 1280) and excellent HD snap shots.
As for video quality, I am only running MS Vista on this laptop and it does everything I could ask it to do. It is great. I have used it with only the screen light of the laptop and all the way to full room light...Byond belief is my observation. I have gone through several cams over the years and I found my No.1 pick.
There is one adjustment in the setup that I Highly recommend when you set the camera up, in the advanced settings, "Turn Off" the auto focus, it will drive you crazy anytime a subject moves in front of it. Also, go by the recommended set up hight and distance.
As for no-go opinions....I can't see any with the setup I'm running
I hope this review helps and sometimes the little extra money spent on an item does make it worth it.
What's great about it: 99%
What's not so great: The Auto Focus...it will drive you crazy till you see how in the advanced settings to turn it off!
I would recommend this to a friend!
