 Good and cheap but not quite what i was looking for June 29, 2008
This item is perfect If your looking for a tripod thats can stand on almost any surface and not take up pocket room. At a price of less then two dollars this is by far your best bet. I was hoping for a little more though so I can't give it a perfect five. I do alot of solo filming in woods and basements and other such environments and i was hoping that I would be able to wrap the legs around branch's and other random support structures but the legs were not flexable enough. Great tripod over all but I think I'm still gonna check out a gorillapod.
 Nice to have along June 15, 2008
Good to carry around if you have a very light camera or centered tripod mount, horizontal shots only, but it does this job well.
Does the job - Nothing Special May 31, 2008
What can I say that wasn't said in the title? Not much.
For the price it's not bad, but it's not great either.
The con is the legs could be better. They move, but they don't hold their position that well. They generally "move back" into place a bit.
I'm no expert in flexible tripods. :) ...and so maybe this is the norm for these things. Maybe you would pay 10 or 20x as much for one that had legs that moved and solidly held in place to the positions you move them to. I don't know.
I guess overall it's hard to complain for the few dollars I spent. When I need to take a really steady picture then I have something to do that with.
If you're looking for something "professional" then I would say this isn't it. For casual, home consumer use it's fine.
 Great travel buddy! May 28, 2008
useful ... easy ... compact ... i think it fits any camera. great for travels, especially if you're by yourself and need to set up photos so you can be in the shot!
One of the smallest mini tripods out there April 28, 2008
The Vanguard VS41 is very small and compact. With the legs all pushed together it takes up no more room than a long roll of nickles. As such, it's a perfect item to throw into your camera bag and forget about - until you need a steady shot (or a shot of yourself when no one else is around) and don't want to try balancing your small digital on a rock (the normal use of a mini).
While it a sturdy little guy, and easily adjusts for a uneven surface, the flexible legs are designed for the compact digitals that are so common. Don't try mounting your SLR or large camera, as it won't hold much weight. If your camera is on the heavy side, try the VS-10 instead.
To mount a camera, you just rotate the tripod until the screw goes home, then bend the legs out for the angle you want.
