Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of High Density Black Neoprene Glove Case and Mini Tripod Combo for Kodak PlaySport , PlayTouch Mini and PlayFull Waterproof Pocket Video Cameras**Includes Mini Tripod**
Customer Review: don't be fooled by the combo offer, the tripod is garbage.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a Kodak zi8 and went with this combo based on the reviews and because I thought I was getting more for my money (a bag and a tripod), I was wrong.
To be fair the Neoprene Glove case is just that, a Neoprene case.. and by that I mean that is not very protective (in case of drops etc). It might help prevent scratches and the belt strap might useful, but there probably are better cases out there for this camera. I gave this combo (case & tripod) 2 stars because the Neoprene case at least is decent. The Zi8 fits properly inside it (some might say a bit too tight of a fit, but I think it fits properly (I wouldn't want the camera inside the case to move freely all around). As a matter of fact you might be able to fit something else along with the camera (perhaps a couple of SD cards) or a cable. This is because the camera fits tightly in one of the sides (it has like a pocket where you put the camera) but altogether when the case is closed there is little spare room (enough for one more accessory (depending on size) as I said before).
Now the bad thing about this combo is the tripod. It is made of very cheap material and I was very disappointed since I first took it out of the box. As a matter of fact the package where it came was not sealed but at least I didn't find any signs of previous use on it. The thing looks like a very cheap, plastic protractor. I realize now that the pictures are not very clear as far as the tripod goes in the products page and might be for a reason. The worst part is not that it looks and feels so cheap, the worst part is that it doesn't even work. I attached the Zi8 properly to the screw that it has on the little plate at the top and extended the 3 legs, but to my surprise it doesn't even balance itself.. It won't stand still by itself. I tried regulating the aperture of the legs and everything (within the limited range that it offers) but was not able to get it to work. It is worth mentioning that this tripod was not designed specifically for the Zi8, instead it says in the packaging material that is supposed to work with any 35mm cameras and camcorders. The thing barely balances itself without anything attached to it and it just takes a slight flick to drop it, no way they expect the Zi8 or any camera to balance on that thing.
Like some other reviewer said the tripod looks like something you would buy in a dollar store and it still would be paying too much for it. Mine is going to the trash can after this review, I'm sorry but it is the truth.
If you still like the Neoprene case and you don't find anything better for an equal or better price, then this case might still be worth looking into. I wouldn't recommend these products as a combo though.
