Flip Tripod for Flip Ultra and Mino Camcorders

Ease of use. Increases use of product by letting it record without owner being directly involved.

It is a very useful accessory. Wish it came in a larger size as well.

What a wonderful idea to add a third leg. The two legged ones just never worked well.

I thought this was a good idea when I first checked it out but now that I have used it, I see my purchase was a mistake. I went online to check out alternative tripods and bought a small aluminum frame tripod that proved to be a very effective soulution. The specific issues were the weight of the Flip Cam would cause the tripod to easily become unbalanced and fall over...also, it's too short, not enough height to be of any real value. I would suggest that the manufacturer of the Flip ATR1B increase its height about 3-4 inches more which might make it more stable and increase the height so that you didn't have to set it on top of books or something to get a good self-video while at your desk.

This little product made me a hero at our family reunion. I used it with a small 8MP digital camera and it worked great. The tripod can be used on uneven surfaces and at odd angles. The result - a great family picture, framed correctly - with me in it!
