It makes me sad that my woot lights aren't spinning.

Engineer: I make this herd to be at least a 100,000, maybe even a million. It's going to be hours before they clear this track!
Fireman: A tough nut to crack!
The Conductor: Boy, we are in some serious jelly!
Engineer: And jam!
Fireman: Tight spot!
Engineer: Up a creek!
Fireman: Up a tree!
Engineer: In the grass!

They should.

bought 3 before the server splattered, i did my part, somebody else jump in because i seem not to have made a dent

Either they have a million and all of these purchases mean nothing to the yellow bar of doom OR the YBOD is broken!

Agreed.. the legs just kind flop down if you put a camera with any kind of a weight on it. They are basically junk.

3 cheap wireless mice yesterday, 3 cheap mini tripods today.

Woot better start having ample supplies of the items I WANT to buy soon, or i'll be sleeping thru the rest of this woot-off.

These are actually pretty reasonable. I used one to prop up a little 7" LCD TV on the kitchen counter and it's well suited for that task. The threads seemed a little mismatched to the threads on the bottom of the TV, but neither was made in America so what do you expect. It worked.

what apple event?

Come on people, buy buy buy, so we can get to the good stuff?!?!

Several folks say they bought some and I got 3 yet the bar hasn't moved the slightest bit.

gorillapod falls over with dslr... maybe i need the dslr version?
i wanted a green one, boo.
these are good for if the surface you're using isn't tilted the right way, i would assume, since you can tilt the head. bonus for being able to stick it in your bag since it's so small.

Man, I got the green and blue because I'm a dude--didn't realize the greens were this popular Though I guess it don't really matter what color it is, considering you're gonna get a non-shook photo outta the deal...

"Tripod" was my name in prison...

reidymr wrote:Do these work with dLSRs...say a Canon or something like that?

Well of course they can work with them... But would you really trust putting your DSLR on top of a $1.99 tripod? I hope your judgment is better than that.

If your pocket flashlight has a tripod mount, you can attach it to one of these to make a great mini tripod flashlight.

Will this work with a Flip digital video camera?

reidymr wrote:Do these work with dLSRs...say a Canon or something like that?

NO. A DSLR (or an SLR with any kind of lens) will be too heavy, the little legs have a fixed amount of friction, and are not likely to stay put.

With the legs not supporting a "real" camera, my tihnking is if you have a "real" camera, something as cheap as this is prolly not the way to go. The accoutrements should match the primary item, IMO.

Folks with medium or large families?

I did last time, but I wasn't in my right mind then, so today I am not ordering any.

have one of these for my mini digtal camera that i used in like 2000. I was like 15 or so, and i loved it! Now, i realize it's terrible.

reidymr wrote:Do these work with dLSRs...say a Canon or something like that?

No they only work with 1980's full size VHS camcorders.

If it has a screw tripod mount on the bottom of the camera of course it will.

yeah so hows it goin everyone???????????????????????????????

Bought three for giveaways at my sport club. We have raffle tables and I set out boxes marked "baby of the cosmos". Thay are a real hit. No one whinning about when a Boggy Old Creature appears.

mdnikki wrote:Will this work with a Flip digital video camera?

I'm sure it will, don't think they are too heavy.

Nice, not great, but nice. You could buy one, then perch and rotate.

Does it work with an ipod? LOL! I slay me.

I did my part and bought three. Apparently they are out of green, so I got two blue for me and the wife, and a pink one for my daughter.

Well, no sleep and over 20 hours of scaffolding? I'll let you answer that one. Oh and a couple of preemptive server crashes.

reidymr wrote:Do these work with dLSRs...say a Canon or something like that?

Technically it would work, but I'd probably opt for something a little more sturdy. For point and shoot cameras it's perfect.

f your Mom and Dad had an EcoTrends Mini Tripod for a child,
