For christmas I got a small tripod from Sarah and it has worked like a charm, however there are certain ocasions where it would be hard to find a surface to place the tripod. Today, I found the ClamperPod while surfing looking for something else.

Now you can carry a “tripod” with you all the time without lugging cumbersome gear around. Made of heavy-duty die cast aluminum alloy, the ClamperPod mini tripod is strong enough to hold even the heaviest cameras, but weighs only 2 ounces.

Not much bigger than a business card, it fits into pocket, purse, camera bag, backpack or briefcase with room to spare. Attaches to any still or video camera with a standard 1/4×20 tripod socket.

And if you’re a professional photographer, or just have lots of gear… slave flash, strobe, diffuser and reflector, or any other accessory that has a tripod socket, a few of these are a lot easier to handle than a bunch of tripods and light stands
