The mini tripod is very helpful that to make such as night or wobble-free photos by candlelight. By any bendable legs can also have a camera that does not have the screw right in the middle, be balanced. Heavier cameras keeps the tripod not, because then the legs bend further. For the usual bag suitable digital camera of today, it is easily used, and above all it's small enough that you can take it in your pocket. Unfortunately, there is still a drawback: The round rubber plug, which serve as feet, stinking strongly of rubber and oil. Who had the tripod just a few minutes in hand, can smell the smell still hours later on his fingers. Too bad. A good product with small drawbacks, but overall recommended.
