Flip Tripod for Flip Ultra and Mino Camcorders

I bought the tripod but it is completely useless because I didn't buy the Ultra. They should make this clear. I had to destroy the packaging and didn't feel I could return it.

This is really neat and lightweight. Hovever, it doesn't work with the White Flip Video. Still, a good product.

This tripod is the perfect accessory to the Flip Ultra Video Camcorder. I only wish I had ordered it sooner. It is an incredible value and greatly expands how you can use your camcorder. On this video, which is less than two minutes, I show you the tripod and how it can attach to various items. Then I let you see it work in action as I use a tripod for the first time. It will especially appeal to novice vloggers (like me) because it is so very easy to use!

UPDATE: 7/17/08: This tripod also works with the new Flip Mino---YAY!

When people saw my little tripod they laughed, but I am so glad I have it. The tripod has come in handy so many times in the last few months that I have had it. I can tape things on TV and put it on my computer. Any place that there is a service you can place it there and people won't even notice it is sitting there.
You can wrap the legs around things too just make sure it is screwed on well.
As people have said it is really well made and a great price.

This is a good tripod for the Flip Ultra, but why not buy either of these two instead? They are a lot less money and is pretty much exactly the same thing!:
Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod
Sunpak 620-786 Mini-Spider Tripod


Really the only difference is the Vanguard model doesn't come with the different color feet and it doesn't say 'Flip'.

Or you could get the Gorilla Pod:
Joby GP1-01EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey)

which is a bit more versatile in that you can attach it to a pole or edge of a chair, etc.

A mini tripod really makes it easier to do videos since you can put it almost anywhere yet still get your Flip Ultra level. It also provides more stability to better prevent it from toppling over.
