Table top tripod for solid state recorder ?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I want to buy a table top tripod (say that 3 times fast) for my Sony PCM D-50. I'm looking for advice. I know it's a simple thing but I want to avoid an "oh {censored} !".

I'm thinking that lower legs with a post that raises up in the center would be best.

 

I'm thinking of one of these two:

 

Alpen Micro Adjustable Table Top Tripod:

Any advice ?

 

Thanks,

 

David

I'm not sure since this is for recording, but I'm really fond of the Joby Gorillapod for photography. I take this in my camera bag when I go hiking, and have shot beautiful photos of waterfalls, leaving the exposure open for three seconds or more. I mention this only to emphasize that it's surprisingly stable and extremely flexible in many situations where a "regular" tripod would not be. Whatever you get, make sure it's stable, erring on the side of going slightly overboard if you must.

You've probably seen these, as well, but I have one of these I got in a brick'n'mortar store for 14 or 15 bucks and it's quite light but not really industrial stengthe: http://www.amazon.com/Sunpak-620-203-9-75-Pocket-Tripod/dp/B0048LVXC6/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1312048025&sr=1-6

 

I also notice this for only a few bucks more. I don't know how far the legs extend, but it's cheap and kinda cute: http://www.amazon.com/Sunpak-620-250-Mini-Pro-Tripod-Panhead/dp/B0048LTVGQ/ref=sr_1_8?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1312048025&sr=1-8
