Manfrotto 055XB

$173.00 Est. at Amazon

many people have mentioned that this tripod is good if you are a tall person, i would argue that in fact it may be less than ideal if you are 5'7" or shorter (depending on the size of the head you

i picked this tripod over the 190 series because i'm 6 feet tall and didn't want to hunch over the shorter 190 series.
from www.amazon.com
i wouldn't want to hike half a day up a mountain carring this outfit, but as the vast majority of my shots are reached with shorter walks, i will live with this.
from www.amazon.com
spiked feet set ($30) and the short center column ($30) are highly recommended accessories.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't go to the ground like some, not extra light weight, not extra short when fully folded, plain old aluminum tubes, no level indicator, nothing fancy.

785 Modo

$60.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.adorama.com
it's only shortcoming is that at it's highest extension, the lowermost legs seem a bit fragile.
from www.amazon.com
with just the weight of the camera, it flops a short distance toward me and hits a rubbery stop.
from www.amazon.com
the center column can be shortened, so that you might work very close to the ground.
from www.amazon.com
in short, crash bash is dismal.
from www.amazon.com
why a clip or little click lock of some kind, wasn't included to do this seems really short sighted.

Joby Gorillapod Mini Black/Red

unfortunately, the top of the tripod is supposed to be removable at the push of a button and it seems to have jammed after only a short period of use, but this does not affect its fundamental purpose

from www.bhphotovideo.com
shorter, sturdier, but also heavier.
from www.amazon.com
while it's undoubtedly an excellent monopod: 1) it's overkill for my current and future needs; 2) i don't care to hold a "tree trunk;" 3) it's shorter than the 3550; and 4) 3550 is cheaper.

from "BBuzzard", www.bhphotovideo.com
i am an amateur photographer and needed a monopod to help take pictures in a short period of time.
from www.amazon.com
it collapses short enough to not be a burden to haul around in my equipment bag, meaning that it goes where my camera goes.
from www.amazon.com
in short, like other canon products, it does very well what it was designed to do.
from www.amazon.com
this monopod is lighter, shorter, better than i expected.
from www.adorama.com
if you want a monopod and are aware of the shortcomings, this is a well made product.

nice little tripod, but ended up a lot shorter than i thought it would be.

otherwise, this is one of the shortest compact tripods that becomes one of the longest when its legs are fully extended.

Pure Digital Flip ATR1B

from www.amazon.com
i will take the flip minohd out, shoot and play back in my computer all in a very short time.
from www.amazon.com
if i prop the camera on a table or counter to take a group photo, for example, the short legs cut off the tops of the heads in the photo.
from www.walmart.com
being used by 12-year-old who feels tripod is too short.
from www.amazon.com
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.
from www.amazon.com
by the time you spread the legs, it's so short (like a couple of inches off the table), that it was kind of funny to see.
