Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of QuikPod Handheld Convertible Tripod
Customer Review: Not Durable
Summary: 3 Stars
The quick pod pro is a cool device unfortunately it has a serious design flaw. The plastic acrylic piece that the ball swivel is in is not durable. I used my quickpro only a handful of times and I could already see the crack forming where u tighten the nob to hold the camera in position. I tried to glue it but that didn't work and it is broken and useless now. I may try some JB weld on it. The piece is completely removable and if Quickpod sold replacement pieces it wouldn't be such a big deal. I am sure I'm not the only person to have it break on me so be warned. It is still a really cool gadget though. I hate asking strangers to take my picture. Good luck!Customer Review: Inexpensive but not that durable
Summary: 2 Stars
Inexpensive and handy but ALL plastic make sit a bit fragile. Even the tripod that come with it in the pictures looks like it is alloy but don't be fooled, it as well is lightweight plastic. I don't have HIGH use demand for this item but if you plan on a world tour or plan on taking pictures on a daily basis with this, opt for the metal version.
It actually feels like something you would get from the dollar store more than something you would buy to hold your $300 camera.
Customer Review: Quick Pod, almost ready for prime time
Summary: 3 Stars
The Quick Pod sounded like a great idea, but it really isn't constructed that well. Everything is constructed of plastic except the threaded camera mount. That in itself isn't bad, except the unit when extended is very wobbly. I purchased the Pro model so that it could be used as a free-standing tripod. The folding legs are well made and can be used without the Quick Pod, but I'd be afraid to use the Quick Pod on these legs in much more then a gentle breeze.Customer Review: Fantastic for someone who likes to take self pix!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for a friend as a gift. She always takes the camera with her one hand to take pics of herself or a friend with her. This product eliminates the possibility of cutting yourself or your friend out of the picture. It is also great for going to concerts because you can raise the stick over everyones heads to snap your shots. The quickpod folds down so it also fits in a purse, bookbag, or for some of you fun tourists your fannypack!!Customer Review: Ease of Use
Summary: 4 Stars
This hand held tripod is great if you want to take unusual pictures from vantage points not taken before. I have stuck it inside a cage at a zoo and gotten incredible shots that I wouldn't have gotten. Take ground level pictures of my cats with bending over. My wife and I hate to ask others to take our picture and no longer have to ask as much with the QuickPod. It's very easy to use and works very well for small "happy snap" cameras.
