Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of QuikPod Handheld Convertible Tripod
Customer Review: Pod worked well
Summary: 4 Stars
This item worked well for the purpose I needed it for. I found that the plastic areas are not a problem for me, at this time. I'm not sure of how it will age.Customer Review: Quikpod Handheld Convertible Tripod

Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent idea for self-taking picture monopod. But it need to be built with better material.Customer Review: Not bad - needs a little more heft on the mount system
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an O.K. product. Several of the reviews commented on the flimsy mount for the camera - and I have to agree this to be the case. I think with some care it can be made to work for a while without breaking.
The other part that is a little difficult is the "mirror" just below the mount that allows you to see yourself while taking the photo. This only works with doing some adjustments and requires the assistance of someone else. This is because it's impossible to know if the camera is actually coordinated with the mirror and the lens without looking through the viewfinder or LCD display. It's minor - but it would be nice to have an easier way to set it.
Overall, I'm sure I'll use it for its intended purpose for as long as I can.
Customer Review: Not Durable
Summary: 3 Stars
The quick pod pro is a cool device unfortunately it has a serious design flaw. The plastic acrylic piece that the ball swivel is in is not durable. I used my quickpro only a handful of times and I could already see the crack forming where u tighten the nob to hold the camera in position. I tried to glue it but that didn't work and it is broken and useless now. I may try some JB weld on it. The piece is completely removable and if Quickpod sold replacement pieces it wouldn't be such a big deal. I am sure I'm not the only person to have it break on me so be warned. It is still a really cool gadget though. I hate asking strangers to take my picture. Good luck!
