 A handy little device April 29, 2010
Karen M. (California USA)
I got this as an extra when I bought my flip. I use it to make videos of myself to send to my family and friends. It's great. I simply attach my Flip camcorder to it and then set it on a box and start the Flip and go and sit in front of it. I don't have to worry about the Flip sliding or tipping over, etc.

The nice thing about this tripod is it can be used with any point and shoot camera.
No more shakycam April 27, 2010

I made a video using my Flip camera that was hilariously jittery and out of focus. This will be a huge help to my incipient video production skills. Also it's small and portable unlike other tripods.
Why it's worth a few extra bucks and something else to get in addition this April 24, 2010

Having a tripod with any model Flip is a great idea. There are several kinds available, some costing far less (like the Sunpak 620-786 Mini-Spider Tripod) and some costing a bit more (Joby GP1-D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey)). I like this best. The less expensive ones I've seen all have a terrible smell. The odor is a cross between oil and burning plastic and it doesn't go away. Better still is it gets on whatever touches the tripod. The Joby is OK but it doesn't look as good on a Flip camera, the mounting plate sticks out a bit. By contrast, this tripod looks, works, and smells just fine.
A handy accessory to whatever tripod you choose is something that will help you level the camera. That avoids having people leaning to one side in your video. The Opteka Hot Shoe Two Axis Double Bubble Spirit Level for Digital and Film Cameras will help you solve that problem. All you do is set it on top of the camera and adjust where it (the camera) is pointing until the two bubbles are between the lines. (And when you're not shooting videos it's a handy way to make sure pictures hanging on your wall aren't crooked.)

Not much to say; got this for free as a deal with buying a FlipHD. Haven't used it much yet but seems like it'll work.
