As many of you are aware, I shoot with an HV20, which if you are aware or not is a VERY small camera, I think the weight with a battery and tape is roughly 2 pounds..
Anyway, I just picked up this nifty little mini-clamp/tripod to give myself a few more options for mounting the camera when shooting, and thought I would share my thoughts having just gotten it in the mail.
This thing is great. I just picked it up from this seller on ebay.. it was $14.95 after shipping, and it is even more sturdy than I was expecting from the pictures. It offers a dual function in the small convenient size,
First, it can be used as a small tabletop tripod which might be useful for an interview, or getting unique shots that wouldn't be easy to get otherwise...
Secondly, it works as a clamp, so you can clamp your camera on to a counter or table, or a railing, pole, etc...
For the price I don't see how you can go wrong adding one of these little beauties to your arsenal. While it may not be the best choice for larger cameras, given the size and weight of the HV's this thing is the bomb.
It also looks like it might have a couple other ways it can be set up too, just looking at some of the angles on the clamp, so it seems a lot of thought went into the design of this thing. My recommendation, pick one up!
