This is not a very convenient tripod, there are much better options out there that will attach more easily to unstable surfaces. This tripod actually is difficult to use, you have to unscrew to move around the camera's direction and then screw back on. Works better with really small & light cameras as opposed to mid-size Point & Shoots like mine. The screw become really difficult to use after continuous use, and then eventually failed.
I've used this tripod for an Olympus Stylus 600 (small pocket camera) and Olympus C3020 (point&shoot at 14 ounces). Very, very small tripod which is great for a small camera. Perfect companion for your small camera, well made and looks good too. The legs have two friction extensions and rubber feet. It comes with a little pouch and a lens cloth. I give this tripod 5 stars even though it has only one drawback: The tripod is just not sturdy enough for a mega-zoom crossover or DSLR. I now use an "Ultra-Pod II" for a Canon SX1-IS (at 1.1 pounds).
This item is good and handy, very light weight and convenient to carry around. It is however smaller than it looks in the picture.
I got this mini tripod direct from the retail sony style store. Taking vertical pics with the G10 is impossible without your hand to support the tripod standing up. I was worried it would not support a Canon G10, but it does so perfectly. The ballhead locks in many angles without worry of movement or the tripod tipping over, except on its side. The weight of the G10 is just too much when sideways on the tripod.Carrying pouch and cleaning cloth are an excellent bonus. Tripod feels sturdy and of good quality.
Worked out amazingly well for our holiday gatherings. Sony continues to put out great products that last almost a lifetime. The travel tripod works well with our camera, is light and easy to travel with or stick in your purse. My boyfriend didn't even know he needed this item and now he doesn't know how we lived w/ out it. Nice for reviewing the pictures amongst a group of friends or family as well.
