Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod

useful ... easy ... compact ... i think it fits any camera. great for travels, especially if you're by yourself and need to set up photos so you can be in the shot!

The Vanguard VS41 is very small and compact. With the legs all pushed together it takes up no more room than a long roll of nickles. As such, it's a perfect item to throw into your camera bag and forget about - until you need a steady shot (or a shot of yourself when no one else is around) and don't want to try balancing your small digital on a rock (the normal use of a mini).
While it a sturdy little guy, and easily adjusts for a uneven surface, the flexible legs are designed for the compact digitals that are so common. Don't try mounting your SLR or large camera, as it won't hold much weight. If your camera is on the heavy side, try the VS-10 instead.
To mount a camera, you just rotate the tripod until the screw goes home, then bend the legs out for the angle you want.

Arguably, you're never really going to be able to use a tripod this big for a lot of shots, but it's small, lightweight, and easy to slide into a bag or pocket. What I have found is that it's perfect for setting up the camera and taking a shot at night, and allowing the shutter to do the work, rather than go to a higher ISO setting. For a few dollars, you will not be disappointed.

For the price, it is a great buy. Very sturdy, and fits in my pocket. Comes in handy when you're on the road and don't want to lug around a big bulky tripod.
