This micro Tripod transforms from a table-top regular tripod into a nice stabilizing gun-like grip for on the road shooting from the hip. Avid photographers who want to get a steadier shot, but don't have the time or space to set up a regular, full sized tripod might find this $13 gizmo very useful.




Colbert Low over at The Gadget Blog notes:

"This tripod can transform to a simple handle contraption in a few seconds and features two lock buttons to keep things in place. Its about 16cm in length "

As cameras get a lot smaller, and pack in video-features, the ability to mimic the weight of a serious piece of kit with something like the Brando tripod will be much welcomed for those looking to take camera shake out of the equation. While modern digi-cams often have a mode that will do that for you, you can't beat the analogue approach.

For $13 you can't go far wrong. You can check out the further details or snap one up at the Brando website.
