Flip Action Tripod
by: TheFlip.com
So you just bought a Flip pocket camcorder and now you need to find a way to take some cool videos mountain biking or snowboarding without holding a camera in your hand and getting distracted. You need the Flip Action Tripod. It offers the stability of a free standing tripod and the portability of a camcorder mount that can be attached to almost anything.
When you’re not moving about, you can use it just like a regular tripod. It has three legs so you can stand it on almost any flat surface and take steady video. When you’re done taking still shots, its legs fold up to give you a straight mounting device that has an adjustable bracket so you can change your camera angle without having to move the whole tripod. It also comes with two detachable Velcro straps so that you can mount it to almost anything with ease.
Some of the popular places to mount it are on bike handlebars and helmets. When you have it on a bike, it doesn’t pose much of an inconvenience. Just strap it on to any place where you have a straight bar that’s out of the way and you’ll be able to ride without having to think about it. If you attach it to your helmet, that’s a different story. It’s a little hard not to notice a 3 inch tall camera on top of you, but if you don’t care about your looks then you should be fine. It doesn’t make you off balance or anything, but if you’re snowboarding or skiing, try not to crash.
So if you need a tripod for recording your action shots, the Action Tripod is a smart choice because you get the ability to take either mounted shots or steady video.
