Does anyone have a recommendation for a "desktop"/small tripod to use with this camera?

Hi Josh, As far as a small tabletop tripod goes, I picked this Targus model up sometime ago from Walmart for around $5. Has worked fine for my Canon & now my new Sony WX300. The Sony is a great little camera with tons of features that I think you'll enjoy. Good luck! http://www.walmart.com/ip/Targus-Red-6-Aluminum-Tabletop-Tripod-TGT-CT7/10370959

Seems like "Arush" answered appropriately. The newer version, that I have, is a really nice tripod. However, if you aren't going to use it heavily you would probably be fine getting the cheaper model.

Yes, I use it with the Gorilla one, but it is a little heavy for it so I can't always get the angle I want..That is the only downside to this camera so far. I think a regular tripod would be fine though...

Tripod is fine. Monopod you're risking shaky footage.Image is incomparable, but I use the 24-105 IS if I have to do handheld or monopod work.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.

I bought a Case Logic DCB 304 (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-DCB-304-Fixed-Camera/dp/B0039BPG1A/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1297029675&sr;=8-9) and it fits great. It's less than $16, it's not too bulky, and it's really easy to get the camera in and out with the lens pointed down.

No, I ended up returning the tripod. I did have great luck with Ravelli APLT2 49". Used it on a trip and it worked great,

The few videos I have done are great but it's not primarily something I use it for. Over all I would recommend a tripod or stand if you plan on using it for that. The display is big enough that you should have no issues with it.

I use this and it's very helpful: Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey) Not perfect but definitely makes positioning easier. Also I recommend the extra stabilizer attachment they sell as an add-on. These can be used together.

Go to Office Max, Office Depot, Wal-Mart, anywhere they sell digital camera's to get a feel. You'll see this has a small footprint, and an overall good form factor. I went in to check this camera out at Office Max but then the Kodak Z1085 won me over (it was on sale for $99 too).

Any Point & Shoot camera with a tripod socket and weighing less than two pounds will be fine. Panasonic makes several cameras in the Lumix series, you'll need to use your own justment.

A medium duty tripod, with right angle adaptor, will suffice. For a larger investment, check out the Orion "Paragon-Plus" binocular mounting system, which will hold a binocular up to 5 lbs very securely at any angle. The minimalist anwer would be a monopod with angle adaptor, which is both lighter and much less expensive.

Thanks, Luckybook. I have got mine from amazon yesterday. It is fantastic. I have prepared tripod, carrying case, a 1G memor stick pro duo for it and they all fit well. Voila~~

I believe there is a mini tripod available you can purchase but it would too narrow for a traditional tripod

Yep! Check it the accessory kits that have tripods in them, really like those too

I personally have not tried for this application. However, my opinion you need a larger tripod

I bought a camera case, a SD-HC card and an extra battery. If you prefer to use tripods, you'll want one of those, too.
