Review on πŸ“· SIMA STV-BPL: Large Bendable Grippy Tripod with Flexible Foam Legs - 8 inches by Jill Lawrence

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small but very handy

I just received this product and I'm still very satisfied. I used it with a Canon T2i DSLR and had no issues with the weight of the camera. I was able to wrap my legs around the chain link fence to support the camera but still stretch my legs for use in a typical tripod. What I like best is that the legs can be folded in half to fit in the palm of my hand, so I can stow them in the front pocket of my camera bag. What other tripod has this ability? The legs are long enough to sit at a table and use it as a table tripod and see all camera angles. It's still a compact tripod, so you'll sometimes have to lean into awkward positions to view settings when it's on the ground or attached to something, but that's to be expected. This isn't a replacement for a regular tripod for long sessions, but one to take a full-size tripod with you wherever you go. It's small enough to take with you anywhere and can be with you when you need to take that shot or be in one of your photos.

Pros
