It should able to make it higher legs by sliding in-out lie umbella legs. So it can even stand on the floor for out door photo shooting.
these things look really CUTE!!
Well! Don't put any SLR on the thing. It doesn't even hold the G11. Of course you don't wan't to see your camera fall down the stones like mine did... Maybe Quirky could really screw things together instead of using that tiny layer of glue...
Cute! :)
Just received mine - looks good - and really chuffed to see my name on the box!!!
I donated my yellow DigiDude to a charity auction this week. My coworkers work in photography, but there were other art professionals in the group and the item we as well recieved. Our photo people found them cute but not quite sturdy enough for the Nikon D300 (we knew that already.) Everyone thought they were cute and all of the Quirky information was on the box. I don't know if anyone will seek this item out, but I just wanted to tell you that.
I received my DigiDude in the mail earlier this week. Cool design, great concept! I have an Olympus point & shoot camera that is rather heavy for it's size (Metal casing-waterproof), and the tripod holds it up just fine. My only complaint with the design is with the metal screw mount that the camera connects to the tripod with. It needs to be mounted to the tripod in a MUCH MORE SECURE WAY. A measly bit of glue isn't going to cut it! The second time I screwed my camera onto the tripod, the screw separated from the tripod! I didn't crank down on the screw either; just screwed it on normally, and the screw came right off the tripod. I really like the product, but for $20 I expect it to last a LITTLE longer than the second time! I'm going to apply some super glue to the base of the screw & see if that solves the problem, but it's kind of amazing that someone would think a tiny dab of glue to secure a mounting screw would be acceptable! The legs of the tripod being made of plastic is fine, but the round mounting plate needs to be metal, or the camera mount screw needs to be screwed all the way through, maybe with a washer underneath to secure it? Luckily the concept is very cool, or I wouldn't be trying to repair it- I'd be returning it! Please address this issue in future production, or you'll have a ton of dissatisfied customers! Thank you.
It will be fine if it could allow the camera to shoot pictures from above (vertically), like when you want to take a picture of a page from a book. Daniel Rhod
