This was a handy device, but it sort of broke. I think I can fix it.

A caution for travelers--bottle tops in other countries may not work with this product. Bottles in China, Japan, Korea have larger caps and the tripod won't fit. We carried an empty bottle from the US and filled it when needed.

This little gizmo put an end to my shaky videos. It's hard to hold a little camera steady but when it is mounted on top of a bottle, the problem is solved. I guess it is from all of the experience I have had holding bottles. People ask me if I invented it and it's hard not to lie and say yes. Very cool.

I like this tripod because it's easy to use and I can just stick it in my purse/bag. If I had to give one caveat, make sure whatever bottle you place this on is at least half full(the weight of the camera- even a small one- will potentially knock the bottle over if it's not.)

I wanted this for an easy carry tripod...well make sure you carry your own bottle because bottles aren't the same from country to country. It works well BUT I wouldn't buy another one it seems flimsier than I expected.

Top came unscrewed after first use. Just like in the previous video review by another amazon buyer. can't fix. can't return either as I am on vacation!

I've used it once, and it seems to work great. I was pleased to find that it didn't screw on, giving out a wider range of use. I'm waiting to use it to record, but need childcare first.

Make sure it is a small Point and Shoot camera, some water bottles are not ideal (too tall).

A 2-Liter would be most preferred if availalble. nice use overall though

I used the Adorama Bottle-Top pod while vacationing in Margarita Island, VE. It worked wonderfully! The screw fit into the bottom of my camera. I was able to fit the bottle-top pod on a bottle of water, set it in the sand, tilt it to catch the family in a group shot with the beautiful scenic ocean behind us, set the timer, and ran to take my place in the photo as well.

Someone came up with a smart idea. This little adapter screws into the tripod of you shoot and click camera and the rubber cup onto the water bottle most people carry around when turning museum, collections, what have you it is so compact it fits in you coat pocket take a minute to assemble to you camera and water bottle.

A very cleaver gadgets for any one with the compact point and shoot camera. I order several for my family . I give it a rating of a 10 stars only because it was a brilliant idea and that I am surprised no one through of it sooner.
