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.\u00a0 You need the Flip Action Tripod.\u00a0 It offers the stability of a free standing tripod and the portability of a camcorder mount that can be attached to almost anything.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not moving about, you can use it just like a regular tripod.\u00a0 It has three legs so you can stand it on almost any flat surface and take steady video.\u00a0 When you\u2019re 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.\u00a0 It also comes with two detachable Velcro straps so that you can mount it to almost anything with ease.<\/p>\n

Some of the popular places to mount it are on bike handlebars and helmets.\u00a0 When you have it on a bike, it doesn\u2019t pose much of an inconvenience.\u00a0 Just strap it on to any place where you have a straight bar that\u2019s out of the way and you\u2019ll be able to ride without having to think about it.\u00a0 If you attach it to your helmet, that\u2019s a different story.\u00a0 It\u2019s a little hard not to notice a 3 inch tall camera on top of you, but if you don\u2019t care about your looks then you should be fine.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t make you off balance or anything, but if you\u2019re snowboarding or skiing, try not to crash.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
