Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the PlatinumPlus FlexPod Plus Tripod's functionality, however, many have noted concerns regarding its durability and leg stability. Several users reported instances of legs breaking or becoming damaged easily, even upon initial use. The inflexibility of the legs was also a common complaint. Overall, the product's structural integrity appears to be a significant point of customer dissatisfaction.

    great product, i don't see how other people are braking it if you don't force it to move, it wont break, and to those who broke it opening the package, learn to open a package right. in the video i attached, it held the steering wheel on my truck ok, i wasn't able to get it so it wouldn't move, but it did do its job. only 3/4 throttle because it would have fell back

    It's ok for the price.

    It's not easy to set it exactly how you want it. It is ok for the price, but if you're looking for a steady small portable tripod that is easy to set, this isn't the one.

    This tripod works fine. However, I had hoped to be able to use it with all of my small cameras and cannot, because its weight limit is 1 pound.

    I bought this thinking Ill use it sometime. I went to a camera store nearby to browse and saw the exact same thing on a rack, for less money. As I examined it still unopened in its original packaging, I could see it was clearly broken. Doesnt say much for the quality. I returned mine to Best Buy and was given a refund no questions asked.

    This tripod is a must get to use for all situations that a standard tripod would be overkill....which is about all times when you have a small camera or webcam. Thanks to the flex legs you can mount this thing practically anywhere and it holds tight. The color is a definite plus as well, not a boring accessory.

    Great for Small Cameras

    Saw the Gorillapod brand advertised in a magazine, but ended up getting this one, as it is considerably cheaper. It works great for my little Canon Powershot. I haven't had any problems with it, and it is convenient and portable.

    Tripod is good for taking pictures just about anywhere. Small enough to carry. Good buy.

    This is ingenious. It can be adjusted on an uneven surface. We set it up on the back of a chair.
