Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I bought a small one for my wife's point & shoot and a large one for my DSLR. Each is easy to pack and supports the camera well. I wouldn't try panoramas with them, but they're great on short day hikes.
This item works on just about any surface: window sill, car door, table, rocks, ground, railing

Set up a long zoom on the top of a car, works OK. It seems heavier than necessary - I have another beanbag product that is lightweight.
It just barely competes in function with a small, lightweight pocket tripod, but it's quicker to use.
I could use either - perhaps the Cam-Pod is steadier - hard to know.
