Cheap Mini Camera Tripod

[rriggs]

I was in Poundland today and they had a mini camera tripod. The legs were only about 4 inches long and had a standard screw fitting to mount the camera. I had a play with it and it felt pretty sturdy. Ideal for taking shots of Lego sets. I had no cash with me (they don't take cards) but will definitely be going back there to get one! Seems like great value for £1.

My camera's so bad for sturdyness, so I'l be sure to have a look for one of these next time I pass.

I think I know the one you mean - from the shop you mean!

My friend lives in Welwyn, and brought in a cheap tripod to school, for an end-of-year ICT project. It broke before we'd begun filming

Buy cheap, buy twice

I don't use a tripod for taking shots of sets/MOCs - I find it easier to hold the camera in my hands. I do have one though, which I use for doing stop-motions occasionally. It's a bit wobbly, but that's probably because I made it out of an old music stand, with the top and middle cut off!

Despite the lack of quality I might take a look at the thing, my hands shake far to much and even if it breaks I could probably fix it.

Like I said, it felt pretty robust to me. It's not their own brand so I suspect a cheap job lot from somewhere due to liquidation or a cancelled order or something. Was cheap but didn't feel cheap.
