Strong Flexible Tripod for Compact Cameras (up to 2.20lb/1kg) - Grey - KSD-FT29

So far this seems like a good solid product. I was looking for a flexible tripod for my Canon Powershot sx720. It is small and very lightweight. It fits right in my backpack easily. The tripod has a quick release piece that screws directly into the camera. The mount piece seems quite solid and sturdy, and I have not had any issues with flimsiness so far. The legs were able to wrap securely and steadily around a railing on a pier, and on its legs in sand, and held the camera in exactly the position I wanted. I have had no problem with minute adjustments, it has stayed wherever I put it. This probably wouldn't be very secure with a DSLR, as it is so light and plastic, but for my needs it has worked great so far with my light camera. If you are a casual photographer with a compact lightweight camera but just want a tripod that will be flexible enough to get some interesting shots, then this is a good product for you. Be careful of the quick release feature though, and tighten the screw that prevents the quick release while you're actually shooting. If you bump it while it's mounted it can release your camera pretty easily.

Purchased primarily for a trip to Africa. Worked great while I was there. It is lightweight and can be bent to pack up compactly, making it great for carrying while traveling. Legs are adequately stiff for holding a dslr (I have a Rebel T5) with lighter lenses. The head can be a little tricky to adjust as it is very stiff unless you really loosen it. The quick release plate is a nice feature though.The build quality is good, but not great. After three months of use, one of the legs snapped off at the base. It appeared the metal had fatigued and failed. However, I found KSD's customer service to be outstanding. I emailed them explaining the issue and they informed me that it was still under the 1 year warranty and would send another, no questions asked. I had the replacement in my hands within 48 hours of my initial email!In summary, it is definitely not on par with the more expensive options (i.e. GorillaPod), but I think the price and customer service makes up for this. If you really need something that is well-engineered and reliable, go with a GorillaPod. However, if you're a hobbyist like me and want to get some better shots without paying a lot, this is a great option.

First let me say that if you have a small, light point and shoot camera you might get away with using this tripod. It's very light weight and if you don't intend to use it often then it might do okay and be worth a few saved bucks. A bridge camera like in the product photo is not a good idea.I was not at all pleased with it and am in the process of returning it. It might not have been so bad at half the cost, but the $25 that I paid made this way, way overpriced. I would have given this 2 stars for the above mentioned usage, but the price paid for what you get knocked it down to 1 star. (I almost never do 1 star reviews.)The tripod is extremely cheaply made and much flimsier than it looks in the product photos. The legs themselves seem okay, but where they connect to the head looks and feels like an obvious point of failure. There is some metal at the top joints, but it's as flimsy and cheap as the plastic.The head is cheap plastic. The turn key to tighten the ball had a small sharp spike on one side that needs filing down or the user will cut a finger at some point. The ball head does not move smoothly, making it difficult to make the small adjustments needed to frame and compose your photo. You have to loosen the turn key quite a lot to get the best movement, but that means that you often lose your framing while tightening it up again.Worse, the entire head assembly is wobbly, which negates part of the reason you're using a tripod.I'm kicking myself that I tried to save a few bucks and ordered this instead of the GorillaPod, but the reviews for this one looked so promising.I have now purchased and received the Joby GP3 GorillaPod with the ball head rated for 6 pounds as a replacement and there is no comparison in the quality of the two tripods. The GorillaPod is lightyears better. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 20 bucks for that one instead of cutting corners with this flimsy Kea Sigma Delta.

I use this to hold my cell phone when shooting video or pictures. It works very well. I love that I can wrap it around a post, a chair or a similar object. It wouldn't be able to hold a heavy camera but for a cell phone or light point and shoot it works really well. Some plastic parts feel a little cheap and it probably won't last forever but for the price, It's hard to beat. I will likely buy it again even if it does end up breaking.

It's not the best tripod ever but does what it was built for...my only complaint is the rubber tips fall off ...and also the rubber has latex in it...my girlfriend (who is deathly allergic to latex) touched it and almost,instantly broke out in hives. So be careful with that.. It is flexible and good at its job. I'm not giving it all stars though because 1) the tips fell off...2) it tips over easily with my camera because it is a long camcorder ... And 3) it almost killed my girlfriend....so yeah.

I have only used this for one weekend, but it worked perfectly for me. I had it attached to a backstop/fence for two tournaments, basically a whole weekend. I moved it from field to field several times and each time I set it up, it felt as sturdy as the first time. I used it with a Gopro Hero 3 Black Edition with absolutely no issues.Side note, I did not use this as an actual tripod on the ground or a table or anything like that - but I'm guessing it'd work just as well for that. Definitely worth purchasing, especially considering the cost!

I like to take my camera with me on long rides. But, as a motorcycle rider, I also don't have a lot of room for a full tripod, and I often find myself in places where the camera won't easily work on a normal tripod.This flexible tripod is a great addition to my bag. It's small (it can easily fit in a backpack or saddlebag), it's flexible (I've mounted it on fences, televisions and trees) and sturdy. It easily docks to the bottom of my camera, and easily releases.
