Rating : - One of the smallest mini tripods out there
The Vanguard VS41 is very small and compact. With the legs all pushed together it takes up no more room than a long roll of nickles. As such, it's a perfect item to throw into your camera bag and forget about - until you need a steady shot (or a shot of yourself when no one else is around) and don't want to try balancing your small digital on a rock (the normal use of a mini).
While it a sturdy little guy, and easily adjusts for a uneven surface, the flexible legs are designed for the compact digitals that are so common. Don't try mounting your SLR or large camera, as it won't hold much weight. If your camera is on the heavy side, try the VS-10 instead.
To mount a camera, you just rotate the tripod until the screw goes home, then bend the legs out for the angle you want.
