Digipower TP-S010 flexible and sturdy ultra compact Mini Tripod with pocket clip for easy portability: Customer Reviews & Product Details

Did not think it would be as sturdy as it is based on the price.
It is sturdy, flexible, not too heavy or bulky, stores easily and is very inexpensive.
Enough said.

I actually use this tripod with my Nikon D50 DSLR (if I have a small lens on). Its nice because it fits into my two lens bag. Works well.

I love this tripod because it is small enough to fit in a camera case or purse, the legs bend so you can get a level shot no matter what surface your tripod is on, and the connection is a universal size so it fits many different cameras (we have a Canon Power Shot). Bought this one for a gift. My husband and I first used ours on our honeymoon in Maui and most recently in London and Paris. No need to buy an expensive one, the less expensive ones seem exactly the same.

I take a lot of model railroad photos, and needed a tripod that could be bent to accommodate various "terrain" and scenery on a model railroad layout. Having seen various pictures of the Gorilla tripods being bent into all sorts of ridiculous positions, I thought I'd be getting something similar by purchasing this tripod. Not so. It is flexible and sturdy, but it's flexibility is limited. For example, the Gorilla tripods apparently can be bent into a shape that allows them to be hooked over the edge of a tabletop. The Digipower tripod won't do that. Also, bending the legs leaves little black flecks of paint all over your hands.

It even holds up my Panasonic DMC-FZ35 if I'm careful, what do you want for six bucks?
