Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Mini-

$41.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it objects to our mini video camera, too heavy i guess, but this tripod is great!
from www.amazon.com
but this is definitely worth paying the extra money over a normal table-top tripod and it works great with the flip video camcorders as well!
from www.amazon.com
highly suggest this product if you enjoy any kind of photographic/video creative possibilities.
from www.amazon.com
if you do a lot of photography - still or video - you know there is always a time when you have to put the camera somewhere, and you hope it won't fall.
from www.amazon.com
it's a help when recording videos.

from www.amazon.com
however, it is not great for video use, and if you want a tripod to use for video you should consider a model with a head really designed for video.
from www.amazon.com
inside i use both: video on the pro and still on this tripod.
from www.amazon.com
even though it's recommended for use with a point-and-shoot or video camera, it's also perfect for use with a small dslr.
from www.amazon.com
i use it with a hand held video camera and can easily handle my canon 40d.
from www.amazon.com
the third axis lock has a lot of give in the third axis even when locked and a sticky pan, so i'm not clear why they advertise it for video.

i might use the 3way pan for video's, but it looks decent and unlike the manfrotto ball head this one has has balance levels.
from www.amazon.com
i have a canon s3 and find it is perfect for my level of shooting (also have a canon t70 with multiple lenses and panasonic g320 digital video that i use on tripod, but i prefer the s3).
from www.amazon.com
this means wether you shoot film, video, or photo this tripod can house mostly any other kind of tripod head.
from www.amazon.com
i have ordered heads for each of my cameras making it that much easier to go from still to video and back again.
from www.amazon.com
the stump even helps as the pan head doesn't move smooth, it jerks, when doing video, but with the stump (it bends a bit) i have a kinda feel to moving the head now, but i still have to be very

don't know if i would trust it with a video camera!!
from www.amazon.com
i have used a video tripod with my camera and it kept everything pretty tight and steady, for even long night-time shots.
from www.amazon.com
it's sturdy, adjustable, i can rotate and pitch the camera on it when in video mode smoothly, the quick release feature is awesome, and it has a extremely little useful bubble level.

the price was 1/3 the flip video tripod price, so i bought 3 and shared with my son's families.

good stand for mini video, a little "light" so need to be sure set up okay, but great for what used for.

Sakar TR60

$19.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is my first tri-pod and i am as amateur as they come when it comes to photography and video recording, but this tripod has done the jobs i have needed.
from www.amazon.com
this is not a suitable tripod for anything else more than amateur digital and analog photography and video cameras.
from www.amazon.com
without a weighted bag of rocks (hook for same is included), i don't know how suitable it would be with a heavy-lensed slr or a video cam, but for most consumer digital cameras like mine, it's great.
from www.amazon.com
it was intended for our video camera but fits for our digital still camera as well.
from www.amazon.com
it's fairly smooth, and just get a good video camera with stability control built it.

perfect for still cameras but probably doesn't have the smoothness needed for video work (panning, etc).
