5 out of 5 stars Using with Canon Powershot SD850 IS   August 27, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Attached this to a Canon Powershot SD850 IS with no problems however it leans forward a little but can be corrected by placing the back leg lower. The legs are flexible and it's also good for carrying the camera when using the video on the camera. For the price, it's well made, can't complain. Get it; you never know when you might need it and it's small enough to carry around in your pocket or to throw in your glovebox.


1 out of 5 stars cheaply made   August 13, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

You get what you pay for. Mine wasn't even together when I opened it from the box. I guess its the luck of the draw on whether you get a good one or not. I didn't & its a hassle to send it back because shipping itself almost costs as much as the item.


3 out of 5 stars not so good   August 9, 2008

I found this to be a little fragile. Your camera has to be a light one. Because of the flexible legs one has to be careful to set the camera straight to keep the picture straight! Be careful before you buy.


5 out of 5 stars I GAMBLED ON THIS TRIPOD DUE TO A NON-PROBLEM   July 19, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Against my better judgment, I ordered this Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod, whhich actually arrived in a box labelled VidPro WT-5 model in a new 2008 small package. I almost did not order it because a prior review said if your camera has an off-center tripod mount, this thing will tip over. I have a Pentax 33WR, an almost solid waterproof 4-inch square chunk of metal an inch thick. So for $5 I gambled and won. The item came right away from THEMEMSTORE via UPS First Class, the first of three small orders I placed with three unknown-to-me different vendors. The construction is quite solid, and my chunky digital camera does not even show a hint of tipping over and is solid as a rock on this little gem. As it is with me, I do not even have to adjust the legs to counterbalance. I would guess tipping becomes a problem in the 35mm or superzoom digital camera ranges of size. This product strikes the perfect balance of very small size but enough heft to allow most all small digital cameras to work on it. Otherwise one would not see the very high proportion of favorable ratings on Amazon. I carry my camera in my standard size Sampsonite briefcase, and from now on this tripod is going to be with it.


1 out of 5 stars Cheap and flimsy   July 14, 2008
The legs broke off the fifth time I used this tripod. The metal just sheared and broke. Even though I didn't pay much for it, it wasn't even worth that.
