I bought this in its wrapper, without examining it in the store, because it looked exactly like the old one I had (35 years ago) which I gave my son. With the Vivitar name, I bought it confidently. What a disappointment! My old one was sturdy metal construction, and had no backlash when the adjustments were secured. This one is low grade plastic. The designer did manage to do a great job copying the looks of the old model, but it is impossible to secure it to where it is stable. I was skeptical about its light weight, but did not expect such poor design and construction.

        Light-weight was important because I had to carry it around with me. I also needed it to extend to at least waist height. It was perfect for my small video camera.

          • Q:

            Dear Staples Customer Service,

            This Vivitar VT-41 8 section Tripod is the purchase I am reviewing for the video needed for my business in programming support for beginners and the Christian support needed for beginner. This type may be video on the web for Free. We need to know if the Vivitar VT-41 tripod will support the camera Vivitar DVR 410. We are requesting a list of better camera reviews to support the better cameras later. This camera has some great looking pictures and video.

            Sincerely Yours in the Lord,

            Raymond Shyptycki

              This tripod has a standard camera screw mount interface so it should theoretically work, but it is very unstable.

          • Q:

            Is this tripod compatible with a flip camera? The flip tripods I saw were too short for what I am looking for.

            I want to know how short this goes. I need a tripod for a digital camera and want the height to be no more than 14" tall. I want the spread at the base to be about 11"
