Joby GORILLAPOD Multi-Adjustable

$22.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
when i first ordered this product from amazon i thought it was just a camera tripod - but was tickled to find out it supported other devices as well!
from www.amazon.com
i wasnt sure whether or not to buy this product for my nikon s10 merely because i was worried it wouldnt be able to support the weight (about 3 pounds).
from www.amazon.com
just wanted to make sure you were aware if you have a s60 or camera with similar offset tripod mount (it's way off to the side on the s60), this smallest gorillapod will not support it adequately.
from www.amazon.com
it provides fairly firm support for the camera, and has a quick release mechanism for extended tripod work if needed.
from www.amazon.com
it will support even older, heavier cameras and takes all the irritation of either propping a camera up on sticks and stones or using a mini-tripod which is not adaptable to many outdoor circumstances

setting it up as a tripod is definitely not enough to support the weight (although i assumed it wouldn't); the legs would buckle and the whole thing would collapse.

Bogen Imaging MDeVe 754

$608.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
very well made sturdy product, purchased it recently and have been using it ever since, my d70s and a 18-70mm or a 55-200mm lens is easily supported by this tripod.
from www.amazon.com
remember it is meant give additional support and not total support.
from www.amazon.com
it is strong enough to support a d200 with grip with a 12-24 f/4 attached.
from www.amazon.com
it's sturdy enough for a nikon d40 or d90 with an 18-200 zoom lens and gives you just the right amount of support for the job.
from www.amazon.com
the single lock knob tightens both the tilt and rotation of the ball and socket head - not as flexible as separate controls but certainly leading to a more compact and still strong support.

perfect support in unpredictable settings when traveling.
from www.adorama.com
folds small enough to fit in my motorcycle bag yet strong enough to support my 200mm - 400mm nikon lens.

it does have a weight limit so some of the supersized glass may have weight issues, but it is able to support my canon 30d, battery grip and a 70-200mm lens.

Manfrotto 055XB

$173.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i've read many places that the shifting central column is nothing but a gimmick as it moves the center of balance off of the support and negates a lot of the support the tripod provides.
from www.amazon.com
when horizontal, i always have the ballhead end of the center column in as close as possible to the top of the tripod for the best support.
from www.amazon.com
it can support your heavy body camera with a heavy telephoto lens.
from www.amazon.com
i don't get why so many complain about that--if you need this level of support and you don't want the weight, sorry--you just have to fork over the $$ for a carbon fiber.

it supports my kokak p850 perfectly.

from www.amazon.com
this tripod is quite sturdy and supports my fairly heavy nikon d200 very well.
from www.amazon.com
when clamped they provide sturdy support, but when unclamped you can really feel the "wobbliness" in the construction design (though this doesn't really affect performance).
from www.amazon.com
i just opened the box and one of the center supports is not holding to the leg properly.

Sony VCT-D680RM

$165.00 Est. at Amazon

camera support is solid & stable enough.

this tripod covers two of the most important characteristics of a good support, as it is very stable and solidly built, and it is also lightweight and easy to carry.

the tripod itself is very sturdy, supports a wide range of heights (including its lowest height which works nicely for macro shots), and it is light and compact (which makes it great for travel).

all three legs lock in the same initial position but then can be further independently adjusted to give the proper angle for supporting the 11 pounds you put on top.

i considered their light weight version, but it doesn't seem to support the weight of the 200mm f/2.8 lens that i have.

when combined with the optional folding tripod base, the components provide good, steady support.
