While this is little desktop metal tripod carries a great price tag, it mainly differs from our other mini tripods with its ability letting you vary vertical camera angle. There is also a knob for you fasten and lock in on a selected position. When not in use, the tripod can be flipped and collapsed for storage and travelling.

Pros: *cheap

*doesn't need much space in your camera bag

Cons: *made of cheap plastic

*doesn't hold a serious DSLR (weight)

*not suffiecient for strobist flash actions (size)

*bad general built quality and especially of the screw

Other Thoughts: should be made of metal and a better joint on the legs, then it would be usefull, the concept has potential but not like this

Bottomline: it's cheap, but not worth it at all...

there are so many better tripod at dx like all the gorillapod fakes which acutally work so better invenst in something else

Pros: This is a nice option for a camcorder or camera.It takes up almost no room in a small camera bag(folds flat).It is plastic but seems fairly well made. 
 It will hold a smaller size camera or camcorder with no problems.
 
Cons: It is plastic,there is no way to adjust legs for uneven terrain use.The placement of the tension screw(to adjust camera angle)may get in the way on some eguipment.
 
Other Thoughts: It is plastic but metal would cost substantially more.
It looks like it would cost a lot more.probably around 20 bucks in a electronics shop.
 
Bottomline: For under 4 bucks,you can't go wrong.

Pros: This tripod is very easy to use. It only takes a minutes to figure out how to work it. It's very small, you could carry it in a jacket pocket very easily; or if you're like me, you can just throw it in your bag.
 
Cons: Seems a bit fragile. My friend over-tightened the part where the mount point swivels, and now I can't make it work without a philips head screwdriver. Thankfully I have a second one already.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: If you carry a camera on a regular basis, there is no reason to not carry one of these as well. It will make night shooting so much easier. I like having one of these, but I feel like the ball-joint tripods like the Gorillapod are more versatile and probably a better value.

Pros: I've had this one with me when I've travelled. The tripod is very compact, very light, and the built quality is good (strong built). I really can recommend this one. Also I like the design of the tripod.
 
Cons: It only works well with pocket cameras, I wish I had one that would work with my better camera. Nothing else cames to my mind.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Great tripod for travelling. Goes with you in a pocket or in a bag and it weights so little you don't even remember it is there. :D Easy to use and good quality. This is the best small tripod for pocket cameras I've ever bought.
