Customer Review: Must have little compact camera accessory
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of those things you'll wish you'd invented. Just a terrific little gadget to go along with your compact camera or mini recorder. Using this I've been able to get into the scene with the camera hung from door hinges, shelf brackets, chair backs and of course any horizontal upright surface. Near infinitely adjustable and the magnets are strong enough for any compact camera or recorder. It's rated UP TO 11.5 oz which covers any compact digital camera and quite a few that stretch the definition of compact. I'm not sure what's wrong with reviewers who complain and downgrade it because it won't support their 24oz SLR reliably...well DUH!

About the only thing to watch out for when using it or carrying it with you ARE the magnets -They are very strong for the size and shape and you don't want to just casually grab and pull if you're resting on a loose object. I set it down with my camera mounted on top of a mid-tower sized PC weighing about 18 lbs and discovered it had no problem moving the whole cabinet before it released. I'm guessing the 11.5oz rating has more to do with what the flexible leg joints will support before the camera starts to shift a bit in some orientations rather than what you can hang via the magnets. Just keep it away from things sensitive to magnetic fields or get the original non-magnetic version which is also available in a beefed up SLR version.

The only other negative is the price which is a little high IMO, given what you can find the original, non-magentic version selling for that now has competition in the market. Still, it's just a great, flexible (no pun intended) accessory item that deserves a spot in your camera accessory bag. I give it a 5 star rating 'cause it does what it's supposed to, does it very well and will probably outlast the cameras I use it for.
