Mini Tripod

Not Strong Grip

The grip of the ball to sock is not very good. The surface on both pieces are too smooth Being smooth hard plastic they don't grip, they slip.

Strong and sturdy tripod

This tripod holds my iphone or Hero camera rock steady for taking time lapse views of sky, easy to set up and take down...

Splendid

Excellent for use with the longshot camera. Much easier to orient the camera as desired than with the cheap amazon tripod i had been using.
