Review on Run Shuangyu Octopus Flexible Portable by Nick Morales

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap and Smelly - Tripods and Monopods

I love this tripod. These tripods have segmented legs. This tripod has thin, fragile, flexible carbide legs. I suspect they will break with prolonged use. I take care of this tripod and carefully bend my legs. I will update the review if and when the legs break. The worst thing about this product is the smell. The legs are covered in soft plastic/rubber giving it a segmented look. The coating has an unbearable chemical-plastic smell. This is very very bad. I don't know how to articulate the severity of this sickening smell. i mean wow However, this is one of those items that I bought for the price and for the price I will live with the smell. The tripod is strong enough to support the weight of my Canon Vixia and my DSLR (with the small lens attached). So wear nose plugs.

Pros
