Flip Action Tripod Clamps Cameras to Bikes, Helmets, Anything
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Today's Chili, video
Flip’s new Video Action Tripod lets you attach your camera to almost anything. The clever fold-out design, combined with velcro straps, keeps the camera-mount steady whether you attach to your helmet or your handlebars. And best of all, it uses a standard tripod-screw, so you don’t even need to have a Flip camera to use it.
The tripod folds out from a compact package and acts as a regular, mini three-legged stand. Add the included, adjustable straps and it can be clamped onto pretty much anything you can wrap those straps around. Once in place, you can adjust the angle of the head and lock it onto place with a thumbscrew.
The only thing I’d like to add would be some kind of safety strap. The Action Tripod looks like it will remain firmly strapped to whatever you have lashed it to, but tripod screws have a way of working themselves loose, especially when shaking and vibrating.
The Video Action Tripod is available now, for $25.
