A little disappointing with a DSLR
By grogVerified Reviewer from Phoenix, AZ on 7/15/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
not that stable with a DS, Unstable
Best Uses:
Long Exposures, Stabilization
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Using this with a Pentax istDl, and 18-55 lens, the camera drooped toward the lens, needing some shimming to get the camera level. Otherwise, very well constructed.

 
POD Platform

Lightweight

Primarily for point&shoot
Best Uses:
Long Exposures, Photography

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered this thinking I could use it with my digital SLR but, no way! It's really not for my purpose. It will work nicely with a point and shoot, I imagine. I must have missed it somewhere if there was info about how much weight it would hold, but its not much.

I'd recommend it only for P&S type camera.

 
Perfect gadget for the right job!

Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought the pod before a cruise to Alaska. I would rest the camera attached to pod on the rail of my balcony (of course always keeping the camera strap around my neck) and this allowed me to take some very nice scenes at night in the towns where we docked.
I plan to use it when photographing from my car window in two weeks in Glacier National Park.
Very handy thing for certain uses.
