Cool Tripods

This is for all of you people who are into photography. Tripods can make such a difference in lining up a shot and especially for the shots that the camera has to be held very still. I've just recently gotten into the whole tripod scene. This is mainly because I received this little tripod for Christmas.


The Quik Pod is extremely lightweight so it's easy to carry around in my purse. I'm notorious for taking pictures by just extending my arm and hoping everyone is squeezed in. This little gadget makes getting the full picture sooooo much easier. And it even comes with legs for more cool tricks. They recently introduced a bigger version for SLR cameras. You can find out more about the Quik Pod, read reviews, and find out where to order by visiting http://www.quikpod.com/.


My brother recently told me about this other little tripod.


I really don't know much about it other than it looks really neat. This was taken from their website.

The Joby Gorillapod firmly
secures your camera to just about anything — anywhere and everywhere! Unlike
traditional tripods, the Gorillapod has flexible, gripping legs which can wrap
around almost any surface. It is now available in three sizes!

Lightweight
Compact
Portable
Bendable
Wrappable
Grippable
Gorilla Fun!

Pretty nifty, eh? It even comes in pink! I might just have to add one of this to my wishlist for this Christmas. =) If you want more info on the Gorillapod, check out http://www.joby.com/.

Hi Amber,
Talking about tripods, I have to tell you about the one I use and I love it!!!
It's called XSHOT 2.0 (www.xshotpix.com) It's also lightweight and easy but the cool thing is that is has a longer extension, so you can fit more people or more background in the frame, but the big plus for me as well is that it is very solid, the metallic arm holds very well.
When I was on vacation in Paris I used it one night at the Eiffel Tower, it was great. I guess it's the same for you when you use yours, lot's of people stare at you and ask questions! I took a cool one when the tower was all illuminated and sparkling...
Check the XSHOT out, it's worth it...
