5.0 out of 5 stars Very versatile, easily fits in small camera bag pouches, priced right December 13, 2011

By M. Erb HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Length: 4:18 Mins

The UltraPod is one of the handiest little things in my camera bag. I use this often and it is so versatile that it has become an essential part of my camera gear.

It's designed to be used with small compact, sub-compact cameras and camcorders. It won't support the weight of a large DSLR so don't even try. It's not meant for heavy weights. But for small, light weight cameras it is awesome. Creative people can even figure out a way to have a flash mount on this tripod for some creative slave-lighting setups. The possibilities are huge.

The legs are about 4" in length and they form a supportive tripod base for use on a table inside or anywhere else you can think of. What makes this such a versatile piece of gear is the foot long velcro strap which opens up many more possibilities. You can attach it to a tree branch, or strap it to your car mirror. How about your bicycle handlebars (might shake around too much though depending on the camera) or some other think that otherwise would be impossible to hang a camera from.

I've been able to get what would have been impossible shots without this little UltraPod. The ball and socket give you the ability to twist and turn the camera just so, to enable you to get the shot you need.

It's inexpensive enough that I bought a couple of them. I have one in my glove box in my car and the side pocket of my camera bag. You will find many uses for this little tripod. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tiny Tripod! February 27, 2010

By Tim W

I've had one of these for over five years now, and it works great: I find it indispensable. Small enough to tuck into a pocket or bag, the velcro allows it to be attached to almost any vertical or horizontal bar or pole, while the ball-bearing head allows the camera to be positioned as you need. Great for putting yourself in the picture, time lapse, or night photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome little Tripod January 8, 2010

I bought this to use with my Flip Video cam, It works great. I didn't think I would ever use the hook and loop strap it looked kind of hokie. Boy was I wrong. That little strap is Awesome. I can strap the cam to the handlebares of my bike and go riding. Or strap it to lamppost for rock steady videos. I strapped to my ceieling fan for a head spinning video.
