The battery compartment remains freely accessible even when mounted mini tripod.
High-quality workmanship (no cheap plastic scrap).
I would buy it immediately.
Update 2014-11-29: The Sony RX 100 and the Sony HX60 the battery compartment and no longer freely accessible on a mounted mini tripod. The lid of the battery compartment can not be completely open so that the Mini stand has to be removed for a battery or memory card is inserted. Poor performance of Sony to place the tripod socket so close to the lid of the battery compartment!
