Sima ST-10T Mini Tripod

Summary: Cute little tripod
Review: I didn't expect this tripod to be so tiny. I read the information on it but imagined something else. It is MINI. It's great for taking stable images on a table for something like ebay, for example, or for using in the house for timed shots. However, I have to get another one for outdoor shots. I'd give it a 5 if I hadn't expected it to raise up higher than it does.

Summary: Portable, very adjustable, perfect for a compact camera
Review: I have a Minolta Dimage Xg, and I got that camera largely because it is so portable. Since the tripod is so small, but yet with telescoping legs, its pretty portable to carry around with the camera (its a tad heavy, but its totally worth that, imho). I got it since a tripod is great for group shots, and is perfect for those no-flash shots where you need the camera still for a good 5-6 seconds (afaik, this is needed for most compact cameras). In particular, the Minolta camera takes great non-flash shots, esp. in low-light areas.

What I love most about it, is that the tripod adjusts to a variety of needs -- the camera rotates easily, can be titled to lean back & forth, and can take vertical shots too.
My tripod is just knotted into the belt loop of my camera case, so they go very well.

All in all, I see this as awesome value for the 10 bucks or so it costs -- it'll improve your most memorable pictures by at least 200%!

Summary: Nice unit
Review: I ordered the ST-10T and received the -10K which isn't even listed on Sima's web page. The difference seems to be the addition of a small ball head that greatly improves an already nice unit. Addition of quick release base and carrying strap also noted. Fits nicely into back pocket or small camera bag.

Summary: Just wonderful
Review: The picture and description you see on this page are for Sima ST-10T, but you will actually receive Sima ST-10K, which is even much better. It is a very comfortable and tiny tripod. Ball-head is the biggest improvement since ST-10T and it works great. Quoted from official site:
The ST-10K features a quick release, universal screw-on mount, adjustable swivel head, extendable legs and a carrying strap. There’s no better mini on the market and no better support for your camera. (agree with this last sentence, can add only that the price is also the best out there)

Specifications
Swivel head
2 section legs
Aluminum
Rubber feet
Quick release
6.75” extended

Summary: Great little tripod!
Review: This little thing is extremely useful and versatile. Some camera cases would even hold it with the camera itself. One feature I would have liked to see is a metal ball head, so I could adjust the angle of the camera easier. It can still be done without the metal ball head, since each leg is retractable, but it would have been easier with the ball.

Summary: Excellent portability, difficult stability
Review: This tripod is helpful for needing to get close to the ground of your photography subject and has an incredibly low height. The quick release shoe is easy to use and attach to a camera. It has the capability to extend out to a 90 degree angle to the ground if your camera is looking down on an object, but this makes the tripod unstable if used with anything other than a very, very compact camera. The tripod is very small and lightweight, and fits easily into the front pocket of a midsize camera bag.

Summary: Nice Tiny Tripod
Review: This tripod is well made for the price, and very convenient for small cameras. I found that it may have some difficulty holding a camera with an off center tripod socket like that found on the Canon Digital ELPH 500 camera. But, this is only an issue when the ELPH is orientated in the vertical position and tripod legs fully retracted. Other then that it's worth every penny.
