Excellent accessory to our cameras
2008-11-12We love this product. This tiny little widget that screws on all our cameras, 3 different digital cams, and positions the camera so well, has made it more possible for us to ask far less of strangers for snapping our photo....it travels so well, very light, slips right into my purse and is very easy to set up. It provides several different angles also.
Pocket Tripod for Sony Camcorders VCTTK1
2007-04-10Nice little device - very inexpensive, compact, and usefull on a table.
Handy Device
2007-03-14Very compact, well made, helps me level the camera when I set it on sloped surfaces and it stays in place due to the rubber feet. For the price and size it's a great alternative.
Great Lightweight Tri-Pod
2006-11-10Took it on a trip to Germany. It is very lightweight and easy to carry. Great for shots where you want to be in the picture or low light situations.
The only limitation I had was you can't shoot anything in portrait. As long as it's landscape, it worked for me.
Elegant, useful and cheap
2006-11-09The design is clever! It is cheap and handy. But note that it has to be put on a table. So it carries all the advantages of a tripod except the fact that it cannot be placed on the floor!! anyway, you can use it will all types of video cameras, it makes the camera stable all the time. Sony logo looks nice.
All in all, buy it if you want a table tripod.

If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with
the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The
formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C,
8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has
its pros and cons
VHS
The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder
is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back
the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS
camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital
video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution,
VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more
and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video
camera used because their technology is now outdated.
VHS-C
