It is nice little tripod. Very small and compact. It stands fairly well on its own. It grips some things but not a whole lot. It doesn't always hold its position when I set it up on an uneven surface, but it does work for some things. Overall, not great, but good.
As predicted in my review of the Sunpak tripod, currently outselling this one on Amazon and at a lower price, this item was too small to remain with me for any length of time. All the same, it's cheap enough and sufficiently useful to warrant an encore. It attaches to a personal audio recorder (Zoom H2), a point and shoot camera (Canon SD780), and videocam (Flip) with no problems whatsoever. So whether your objective is steadier shots, better sound isolation, or self-portraits, this is a handy item to have on hand (though I haven't found the flexible legs to be particularly useful).
As for the different brands and prices of these curious creatures, may as well ignore them. They're all the same, regardless of brand, and if you compare the ones that come postage-free with those that don't, you're likely to discover that they all cost about the same.
After losing the first one within the first two weeks, I've become more conscious of the pocket clip that's attached to the tripod. Unfortunately, it's a bit too loose to remain attached to the owner's shirt pocket--but it's the right idea.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3VOZMIUJ27UUH This is my quick video review of this mini-tripod which I bought from Thememstore here on Amazon. It looks exactly like the one pictured here on Amazon as the "Vanguard VS41 Flexible MiniTripod" but the box says "Vidpro" and there is no logo branding on the tripod itself. Great super cheap price but it doesn't feel cheap. It's worth buying.
"short legs make wrapping moot"

The tripod is fine, but nothing to get excited about. The legs aren't long enough to wrap it around anything I've tried. I've owned it for 5 weeks. It is fun to work the legs to create the angle I want but the Mino I use it with is often not level. There is no adjustable screw base so you turn until it stops so the legs aren't always in the desired position. It's more fun that a 6" regular tripod but it's not more functional.
"Perfect mini tripod for small cameras"

I lost a mini tripod exactly like this one and just had to get another one. This tripod is small and convenient to carry around in the camera case. I used it to take some wonderful night photos and fireworks photos. It works great anytime you need to use slow shutter speeds. It is also nice to take self or group photos that you want to be in. Because of the flexible legs, it works great on non-level, curved or uneven surfaces.
