Tripod is a must for all cameras to start with. Not only for shooting stability but for the more common timer mode when there are NO other photographers.....

Like Darren, I can still go pretty slow without using a tripod but it all boils down to practise and how you stabilize your arms. Also I use a small beenie bag to counter minor shakes....

but i came to the thinking of tripod is a lil bit mafan eh.. and kinda weird. and i have this lowself esteem (izit the correct words to use?) and will think that ppl will say niamah didn't use dslr also wanna use tripod saupei la. =.=

Haha. If the person say that in front of ur face, then ur tripod will be more in handy and better use! If you know what I mean... Hehe...

Hey....

I've gone to F1 with an IXUS an a tripod before. Everyone beside me with monopds and DSLRs but I didn't give them sh#T. Who cares..... Another event was Chelsea vs Newcastle at Bkt Jalil. I was in the 2nd tear so imagine how far I was up but still wanted to mount my IXUS to take panoramic shots....

I am thinking of selling my Canon S3 for a reasonable price. Still very new, bought it a couple of months ago. Need the cash is the reason for sale. Thought that in this topic, there might be someone who is interested in it before I post the [WTS] post in the garage sales.

PM me for more details

whoa.. ganas IXUS with tripod. i donno why la.. but it seems like i alwiz feel wierd.

of course its weird bring full size tripod, i bring this one with me everywhere:

greyPJ, how much you got the gorillapod for?

i bought online from their website, usd31 included fedex.

I don't see that much important to have a tripod. I m not a serius photographer. Just an above average people. I ve two tripod but only occasion using the small one. The big and expensive one keep in store.

hmm so fast sell your s3is ah.........

aiyo i sold my tripod alreayd looks like need to get con by shop to get a tripod

Porkchop,

Didn't you have a S3IS previously as well? Now in cold storage ar? Got 400D already.....

katopunk,
Yeah....
Ixus with tripod, can barely see the camera So small.... the tripod head itself overshadows the cam.....

gorrilapod is so tempting..... USD31 with shipping is a nice price as well... Is it able to bend well and stay in that particular position stable?

yes very stable, the legs are made of rubber so it sort of stick to whatever thing that you tie it to

How much??


can support weight of SLR or not?

i bought the baby gorrila, support up to 275g dc only, for SLR you need to buy gorrilapod SLR that can support 800g.

Theres 2 types? Yours is the mini version? Can support 500g? My lil S3IS itself already 500g... DSLR with lenses are in Kgs......

actually there're 3 type, normal, slr and zoom, you can see them at joby.com
500g you need at least slr, coz over 275g already.

hmmm 800 g...suspect my 350D + UV filter + CPL + 18-200mm + battery weighs more than that, but not sure lah.

sure weight more than that, you need the zoom type, can support 3kg.
