The tripod comes with my Sony DSC-S90 cope excellently, although the tripod socket is mounted very eccentric. Since no ball joint is present, the horizontal must be set with the legs, but this is relatively easy to do. Since it is zusammengaklappt very compact, it fits well even to the camera in the camera bag.
My Vorrezensenten I can in terms of the smell only agree: it stinks of burning rubber, but vanishes after a while.
All in all, useful for small, lightweight cameras.
