I just put in a review but it apparently got lost in cyber space....there isnt a way to attach it to a tripod that I can tell. The hinge on the bottom of the case also prevents you from just standing it on something without someone holding it or propping it up.

I bought 3 of these tripods to work with my flip video cameras. They work swell.

I am using it on a lowrance HDS-8 and it works fine as long as it is tight. I know others who like to use the mount with a 2" ball, especially if they run hard on rough water...I usually take it easy on rough waters.

The model I have is Ultra HD and the flip video power adapter works with mine if you have the usb flip out to attach to a usb plug in then yes it will work.

You will need a laptop with you to off load the videos from the camcorder. And the videos by default are in MP4 format, which is already a compressed format. Saving videos directly onto your laptop (drag and drop from the camcorder) wouldn't degrade the video quality.For the flip mino, yes, or you may buy an AC-USB power adaptor. For the flip ultra, you can simply swap in a new pair of AA batteries.

I also purchased the flip 3rd generation and this case and they do not work together. I appears to be a strong case but it is too large for the either the power button or the record button to work. it's about 1/8" too large so the buttons never reach the camera. I am having to go through the hassle of returning it and ordered the underwater "sack" that is apparently the only other reasonably priced option to be able to use my new flip underwater.

It should handle them. It can hold up to 6.6 lbs, from another site. It does have a 3-way head, rather than a simple pan-tilt head, as many video tripods have. The "flip" function is needed for still cameras so that you can use them in the vertical/portrait mode. (It's pretty useless for video, of course.) The quick-release plate is fairly wide and has a spring-loaded locating pin. However, it does not have any way to "lock" an SLR in position, other than by the friction of the screw. That can be a problem in the vertical mode with a long lens--it can cause the camera to rotate downward. Many higher-end tripod heads have a movable lip or bracket that can lock an SLR into position when pushed up against the camera's body. It's also not very good if you need to get down low with the SLR. The legs spread only at one angle and the center column cannot be reversed (that puts the camera UNDER the tripod). There's also no hook for hanging a stabilizing weight (e.g., a sandbag, your camera bag). It's not a bad compromise, though, if you have a Sony camcorder. If you don't, forget it: there are better tripods for the same price or less. Your SLR could weigh more than 2 lbs, depending upon what lens you use and whether you use a flash. Weigh it with the largest lens you have or calculate using the largest lens you might buy and the flash you have or might buy. I've had no problems with this and a Canon Rebel 2000 35mm SLR with an 80-300mm zoom lens, a battery grip and a Sunpak flash, but that is pushing it a bit.

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature. I used it with the underwater case and the case is great.

Thanks for your question! According to the product details the mount is for "GoPro HERO, Contour, Sony Action CAM, Drift HD & other Action Sport Camera/ Camcorders". It sounds like it will be compatible with most Action Cameras. If you are uncertain and would like to know about return options there is return policy information for both of the sellers that are currently selling this item at these links:

The tripod mount uses the standard screw pitch of all universal camera mounts. Basically as long as it's not a special screw (gopro) than it should work.Just look up the type of screw it uses should be on the spec sheet

3rd generation flip cameras? Yes, that's the camera I have and it fits perfectly. The screw at the top of the tripod goes right into the hole in the bottom of the camera.

If I have the GoPro 3+ Does it also come with the underwater housing that can fit both the camera and the LCD Pack? Thanks a lot if someone can help answer

The Flip Ultra HD and probably al other Flips work great with a Mac. I have used a simple 2008 MacBook, iMovie and iDVD to make my first tiny film and the results are stunning.
