Ideal for all compact, and light bridges (less than 800 grams). For standing or hanging his camera to places inaccessible to conventional tripods. Moreover, its size and flexibility allows slips easily into virtually any backpack.
I tested this with a tripod SLR (1.150Kg), and actually it is not suited to this type of device (too much vibration). For SLR camera requires a GP3 SLR-Zoom (that accepts up to 3kg devices) and a ball Ballhead offering convenient orient the unit.
