If you like small compact cameras and like to include yourself in the photos this nifty little device is just the thing. Small enough to go in your pocket, it allows you to aim the camera from non-level surfaces while using the self timer. Won't hold a heavy camera, but for what it is designed to do it is very good.

Save your money. I thought since it was a Burris product it might be serviceable, but I was wrong. This item MIGHT hold a compact pair of binoculars steady on a calm day, but certainly not anything larger. It's made of plastic and is plenty flexible. I appreciate getting the most for your money, but this is not one of those products.

Did not realize the spotting scope came with its own tripod, otherwise, I would not have ordered this product.
