Kim Komando has 3 tripods that are very unique in that they are bendable and portable. You can bend it around a tree branch or level it on an unlevel surface. Pretty cool. There are 3 sizes. From point and shoot through SLR with a telephoto lens. The largest and most expensive is only $54.95. Remember these are not full size tripods but portable ones. I personally do not have one but received the information in her email so I can't say how they work but I am going to order one. Some of her coolest items are for babies with a line of stuff (tee shirt, bibs and onesies) that say iPood. Not iPod but iPood. What a laugh. Merry Christmas to all. Terry.

Unique Tripods

I have seen those before and i don't think i would trust it to hold my camera with a telephoto like the one it has in the picture. Perhaps they are stronger than they look, but i don't see them being rigid enough to hold that kind of weight. Does anyone have experience with them that can say differently, or maybe someone that can confirm their usefulness.

I personally prefer a normal tripod. :) Not really many things to latch onto for landscape shots; and even when there are things, it forces in taking a photo from a single, fixed, less than ideal perspective.

But I can see where these may come in handy. They might be useful for holding off camera flashes and such.

I have one of the small ones to use with my small P&S Canon SD450 and it's really neat!!
