Tripod turns into Bipod
2009-07-01One of the legs broke off after using it for a few minutes. At least I have a cool-looking bipod. Cheap construction. Looks super cute though.

Weak Build
2009-05-07The tripod head was never strong to begin with and after only a few uses with a Powershot SD630 the tightening screw cracked apart the entire head.
Naively, I purchased a second Mini only to have the same thing happen in the exact same way. I think I'll stick to camera beanbags nowadays.

Canon Mini Tripod 7 is a "STAR"!
2007-11-10I needed someone to hold my camera one day and I was the only someone there. Lost the shot. I searched and found this little gem. Sturdy, well constructed and small as can be. I carry it in my "go" bag and never notice it 'till I need it. It's there. Easy, fast and reliable. Great purchase!!! I wish everything I bought worked for me this well!

Canon Mini Tripod 7
2007-11-06I was disappointed with this Tripod. It is cheap and flimsy. It works (barely) and that is the most I can say for it. I can see now that there are many better on the market.

just what we needed
2007-11-04Perfect size--fits right in our camera bag, but is big enough to take pics using the timer, without seeing the table in the shot! Don't know if it would hold a really heavy camera without toppling, but it does fine with our Poweshot A720.

Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.
