Here is what people are saying about the VANGUARD VS55 Mini Table Tripod with 5Section Legs
 "Sturdy, compact, easy to use." | 2009-06-26 |

| It's heavy for its size, yet compact and sturdy. The telescoping legs are stiff enough that you don't have to worry about them collapsing under the weight of a camera yet still very easy to adjust. |

| Tripod is useless. Our CyberShot camera is too heavy for the little thing, and it collapses under the weight. (The telescoping legs close down.) The CyberShot is not a big camera. |

 "Really good cheap tripod" | 2008-10-15 |

| I actually used it for a short stop motion school project. It worked really well considering how small it is. I didn't have high expectations, I just needed something to keep the camera from moving. The only reason I took off was because if you push too hard the legs start to fold back into themselves, but I wrapped them in duct tape for the project length and it worked wonderfully. Good buy for a temporary thing or a hobby, but professinals will definitely want something a little more stable. |

| Extremely small, Barbie-sized tripod. Anything attached to it weighing over a few ounces will tip over. Watch out for breezes and uneven ground. I sent mine back. |

The good:
Small
Made of metal
Gold paint
Ball mount has a good tightening screw
Legs are stable when fully retracted
The bad:
Not ideal for heavy cameras since the legs will retract under the camera's weight when extended
Tripod smells like grease |

I will not be using this tripod, and it's not worth the postage to return it. Why will I not be using it? There are no mini-pins or "stops" in the legs to keep each segment locked, so instability is very high.
There are 3 point-n-shoot/compact digital cameras in my family (an older Nikon 995, a Canon A720IS, and a Panasonic Lumix TZ4), and there's only one I'd even remotely consider using this with -- the Lumix, which weighs in the lightest. There is not much leg slippage with it atop the head, but if I put any down-pressure at all, the legs start folding in upon themselves. The legs on this are so small, of course, that any uneven slippage will result in a terrible tumble for your camera.
Also, only two of the legs pivot, with one fixed, which is just plain awkward.
While slightly bigger, I HIGHLY recommend the Sunpak - 1001D Digital Tripod. It's only about five dollars more, and it's sturdier to at least a power of 10. Not quite as portable, no, but I won't risk any of these fine digital cameras with such cheap gear.
One other reviewer noted using his with an H4 (or H2?) Handy Recorder. I might consider using this tripod for that same use -- I have a Zoom H2 -- for that recorder is as light as a feather. But since I've got the SunPak, I am not sure this Vanguard will ever see light outside of my closet. |
