The Flip Video Tripod makes it even easier to shoot high-quality video with your Flip Video Ultra or Mino Camcorder. The Tripod screws into the bottom of any Ultra or Mino camcorder in mere seconds, and flexible legs let you take steady video almost anywhere, and at almost any angle. The Tripod comes with a set of five interchangeable colored rubber feet that match Ultra and Mino camcorder colors. And at about 5-inches tall, this Tripod is as portable as your Flip Video camcorder is.
Priced well and works well with FlipReviewed by Amanda L. Diehl, 2010-03-14
I am in a class where I need to record counseling "sessions" and the Flip Tripod works well for this purpose.
a little light, but a good product overallReviewed by Sahil Ramani, 2010-03-12
Got this as part of the deal running in December where I picked up
this and the charger free with the Flip.
Pros : Lightweight, easy to place on any surface.
Cons : Some stability issues, plasticky feel.
Small but does the jobReviewed by Anthony Martinez, 2010-03-03
This is obviously not a professional tripod. Comn people, it's
$15!
It's very versatile and works on most surfaces. Would I suggest it
to a friend... yes!
It does what it says and does it well.
Don't waste your money!Reviewed by N. Pellegrino, 2010-03-02
I don't like to write negative reviews unless I feel strongly, but
this tripod is not worth the money at all. I bought it for a class
where we have to tape conversations a few feet away, so I thought
it would be perfect, but first, the mount on the flip is off to the
side, so it leans to one side and while you can account for that
with the legs of the tripod, the legs on this tripod are barely
flexible and the black paint comes off on your hands and flakes all
over the tabletop that it is sitting on.
I tried to return it, but it was going to cost 5 dollars to return
it and it was too much of a hassle. I'm disappointed in this
product and in amazon. Don't waste your money, buy a better tripod
for less money elsewhere.
I Overcame My Reluctance to Pay So Much For Such a Tiny Thing...and
I Am Glad I Did!Reviewed by Katherine of Amazon, 2010-02-27
I'm not the first one here to balk at the price of this thing, I
see. However, I carefully read and considered the recommendations
of others, and decided, for once in my life, to not be such a
doggone cheapskate when I was buying a "gift" for myself! I bit the
bullet and made the purchase of this little accessory to go with my
new camera, and boy am I glad I did!
--When you need to film something, but taller people in front of
you block your view, you can screw this little tripod into the
camera body (it's a sturdy, solid fit, too), squeeze the three
separate legs together into a solid "handle" of sorts, and hold it
up, Statue of Liberty style, for an unimpeded "over the heads of
the crowd" view.
--Using the tripod as a handle, you can hold the camera much
steadier than simply holding the bulky little rectangle in your
hand--this is important, since many users crab about the camera not
having that "steady-cam" feature.
--Using the camera as a tripod, you can "get in the picture"
yourself, and you can also aim the camera in pretty much any
direction--to include a slight upward or downward
perspective.
--The three little feet of this gem are both sturdy and flexible,
and can be bent in all directions, which makes it easy to solidly
place the camera on an uneven surface, too.
--If personalizing this product is important to you (and it might
be, if you live in close quarters, all your buddies have one of
these as well, and you don't want any discussions about whose
tripod is whose), the camera comes with an assortment of "feet"
caps in assorted colors--you can make all three feet different
colors, if you'd like.
Bottom line--if you own a Flip camera, you really do want one of
these things. You may not know it yet, but once you have the thing,
you'll use it a lot, and just maybe never take it off the camera,
except to charge it/download images!
Those Flip folks aren't foolish--this accessory would have been a
wonderful thing to include WITH the camera, but even though it
isn't, it's worth getting. Treat yourself--you deserve it. Buy with
confidence!
