 Must have accessory for your digital camera September 16, 2005

You will be amazed to see the difference in clarity between a photo shot without a tripod and with a tripod. A tripod is a must. This cute little tripod from Sony makes the job easier to carry it around along with your camera. I gave it a 4 star because sometimes the tripod is not able to hold the weight of the camera and tends to fall. I have a Sony DSC-P200 camera which is very light-weight. This tripod is not able to hold the weight of such a light camera. You can't use it for your heavier cameras or camcorders...
 Very handy addition to my camera bag October 17, 2004

This small tripod has proved to be quite useful. First, because of its size, it is absolutely portable, fitting into the side pocket of camera bag. It has allowed me to setup stable shots even when visiting places where carrying a full-size tripod is not possible or at least not convenient.
I also use my digital video camera to shoot still photography of small electronic components. This mini-tripod has been wonderful for these shots, as it allows the camera to still be very close up to the subject and yet still mounted on a stable surface. And, trust me, when shooting such a small subject, any hand jitters show up every time. I definitely recommend this to anyone using digital cameras, whether video or still photography. It's a very handy piece of aluminum to have with you.
sturdy and well-designed October 6, 2005

An excellent purchase that lives up to the Sony name. My main concern before buying it was that it would swivel enough that I could point my mini-camera straight down to take macro photos of documents. It does this easily, and the legs don't get in the way. It's small enough to chuck in my backpack and take it all the time in case I need it, and it has its own little sturdy fabric carrying bag so that it doesn't get tangled up in anything else. Overall, I would rate it as excellent.

Invaluable for low light picture taking! July 5, 2006

I bought this item on a whim before a trip to Europe in case we wanted to take some pictures of us on the trip. It turned out to be one of the best ideas I had for the trip. It is small, so it can easily be carried around in a bag or even your pocket and is light so you don't even notice it.
When it proved immensely valuable was taking picture in low light situations. I have a tendency to shake a bit, so I get blurry pictures quite often. Long exposure times in low light situations compound the problem even further.
In many of the old churches and in a few museums they allow pictures, but with no flash (as the flash ruins the art). I was able to get some great pictures because I was able to set up the tiny tripod and allow the camera to sit perfectly still for the 2 to 4 seconds for the exposure to finish.
It also took some great pictures at night of dimly lit monuments as again the ability to aim and hold perfectly still for those couple of seconds is key to great pictures.
