Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of QuikPod Handheld Convertible Tripod
Customer Review: Good idea but junk quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't get me wrong. I like this product. After reading an article from the travel section of the news paper, I ordered one from Amazon. I just hate asking strangers for photos. It is a same catagory as asking for a direction. It works really well. Taking photos of my family with me in it. Although, size was little long. Wish it was shorter so that I can put it in my pocket.
Unfortunately, as soon as I got the product, tripod leg fell apart. But company sent me a replacement. During our Disneyland trip, after tenth photo, extender fell apart. Company said, they are sending me a replacement but I haven't seen it for a couple of months now.
Quality is really bad. As other reviewers stated, it is made of cheap plastics.
I wish some quality tripod company come out with their own version (w high quality materials).
Well, now it is a broken junk. Wasted $30 for nothing.
Customer Review: Sigh

I saw this advertised on television to work with small cameras and video cameras. I put my small video camera on this unit and the entire unit bows. I have some pretty heavy camcorders, but this ultra-light consumer camcorder is very light and fits within the weight requirements of the unit. The footage I get from it is shaky and unstable.
And with the small camera... you have to use your camera timer, which can take up to 15 seconds on some cameras (10 seconds on mine) and you're not entirely certain if your shot came out right (this isn't a product problem, entirely user).
My main dissapointment is the video camera discovery. That's $30 down the drain.
Customer Review: Inexpensive but not that durable
Summary: 2 Stars
Inexpensive and handy but ALL plastic make sit a bit fragile. Even the tripod that come with it in the pictures looks like it is alloy but don't be fooled, it as well is lightweight plastic. I don't have HIGH use demand for this item but if you plan on a world tour or plan on taking pictures on a daily basis with this, opt for the metal version.
It actually feels like something you would get from the dollar store more than something you would buy to hold your $300 camera.
Customer Review: not durable - small and plastic

I went to buy this item at BH in NYC and just by looking at the item you can tell it won't last long. The micro ball head was already not stabilizing my camera and was all plastic.
So luckly the sales person at BHphotovideo told me to buy instead the manfrotto table top tripod v3007 + extension for table to tripod and the micro ball head. The material is very durable (made in Italy) and still very compact. I love my new tripod.
Customer Review: Another vote for "Good idea, poor design"
Summary: 2 Stars
The QuickPod is a terrific concept, but the costruction of the actual product is exceedingly poor. It's made of some very brittle plastic that cracked the moment I attached it to my camera. I threw the QuickPod away and bought a steel Xshot($10 cheaper) to replace it.
