Who thereby ideally has once experimented with his camera a little and also manual functions to choose from, will sooner or later discover long exposures and HDR photography for yourself. Since purchasing my Canon PowerShot S95 I had a small compact, yet very powerful camera always. Of course, a great advantage compared to a SLR. To photograph The constant ability to quickly photos dusk or night time came. Due to the long exposure times the camera was always placed at places like power boxes, railings or benches. The result thus naturally very rigid perspectives is obvious. I somewhat compact and simultaneously favorable sought to solve the problem of perspective, I chose because of the many reviews of this small tripod. Quick came the package and I immediately set off through the city. The tripod can be quickly bolted to the camera and may well remain on the device, or also serve as a "handle". The smell partially described, unpleasant was not possible to determine with my product, the rubber feet were very neutral. The three legs can be quite good to position, but this should ideally be done with screwed camera and look through the "viewfinder". The design can be aligned quickly and the camera remains in most positions are difficult (because of the weight of my Canon are strong inclinations rather dangerous). The best results I achieved always with the self-timer, the camera is the moment of release also really quiet. Meanwhile, the tripod was already in several places and helped my camera to "feet". Especially practical is the low weight and the fast "up and dismantling". For the price you get a really practical utensil for its compact camera.
What you can expect: -stabiler status when the camera is not too big and heavy (for example, would be a PowerShot G12 too heavy) small weight and the resulting possibility of the case having flexible set up -good basis the compact camera for photos with the timer, long exposures or HDR Images
What you can not expect: -stark twistable legs as with Gorillapods (the tripod should be)
