Allow camera to be used without tripod and gives easy access to battery compartment
I absolutely love this product because it allows me to change the battery on my Panasonic GH5S without removing it from the tripod. Without it, the battery cover won't open because it's obstructed by the top of the tripod. Putting this item between the camera and the top of the tripod allows me to move the camera up, away from the top of the tripod, to change the camera battery, without having to take the whole camera off.I've also used it as mini desktop tripod and, as long as you get the weight balance correctly, it's very handy for a quick shoot, when you don't want to bother getting the tripod out, or if you need the camera close to the surface. The unit now lives on the bottom of my camera, folded flat for the most part, but ready to be expanded when I need to access the battery compartment, or if I'm using it as a desktop tripod.My unit was lacking a bit of grip on the lower hinge so I contacted RAINBEAN ONLINE who sorted the problem quickly, politely and in as friendly a fashion as you can imagine. First class service. Very impressed.

Poor Quality and Unsteady
I purchased this item recently after reading some good reviews. I must admit that I was sceptical as the unit is relatively cheap. As it transpired, I had good reason to be sceptical. When I opened the package, I noticed that there were no instructions of any kind. I dont think instructions are needed but was suprised that there was not even a diagram included. I tightened the fixture using the allen key provided. This is a very small allen key and awkward to use. I affixed a Fugi XT30 with a small kit lens (18-55mm) and set on the desk. It took nearly no movement of the z structure to render it unstable. It might be fine on a tripod but would'nt advise use otherwise. I decided to remove the camera and the screw from the head was left behind in the camera. The allen ket mechanism is too small and the camera fixing mechanism came apart. I had enough with this messing and returned it the same day.

Must Buy
This is amazing exactly what i needed. It has great build quality however i have only had it for a week. It comes with a key so if the screws/ keyhole things become loose overtime you can tighten it again. It is perfect for photography and i would definitely recommend it ahead of a small generic tripod as it fits into my one camera body one lens bag (just) as it is flat and my mini tripod doesn't. It is cheap aswell compared to other branded items i saw online. it is also perfect for unlevelled surfaces too as it can be angled. My only concern/ criticism is that you cant fully extend it up with a DSLR and a lens attached; it can be abit unstable if not held however very stable even with my zoom lens if angled better.

Sturdy but may not be suitable for heavy lenses
This is a strong sturdy metal adapter, however it comes with a third rate allen key of tiny dimensions and the four allen screws are difficult to access, so if you need to tighten this, and you may, you will need to find another tool. It could be majorly improved by using either large allen screws or a 'wingnut' substitute. Finally, in the review which was requested, there are three features to rate. 1. Warmth ?... 2. Sturdiness (fair enough) and 3. Sheerness... eh?!?!?, it's not a pair of tights ;)

Not recommend for heavy cameras
I was very excited when I bought it. Bought it with an intention to use it with my slider, to film. Sadly wasn't what I expected.Heavy cameras is no no, can't hold, light cameras are fine. I strong advise not to use with big cameras. I tried to make it more sturdy, I used hex key which was included, didn't help.

Good for the price but probably better products out there
This was good for the value, seems solid enough but always worried that it's going to slip, would rather buy a more expensive product but if you're on a budget, this gets the job doneClick 'HELPFUL' below if you found this useful ;)

Solidly built and a useful accessory
I often want to put my camera down on the floor for a low shot or I don't have a tripod with me and want to put the camera on a surface for a shot. This device is easy to carry when you don't have a tripod and is perfect for low level shots.

Great build for a reasonable price
Great little gadget. Nice and compact with a good solid build. No counter balance though for extreme downward angles but holds my Nikon DSLR safely at medium to straight angles.Glad I bought it, makes low shooting easier especially with a Bluetooth shutter release. Great bargain, glad I bought it!!!
