What do you do with this? It doesn't have feet to stand on freely, so is it just intended to provide steadiness while holding the camera?

It can be really usefull when taking photos in crowded places,car shows,weddings,graduations any outdoor event ,where a tripod could be kicked over,but you still want a solid point to shoot from

When you need to steady a camera for action photos but do not have the time for a tripod.

The feet are very stable and yes it can work as a temporary tripod, but be careful if you are using very heavy equipment. I would not leave it free standing at any time. It's not made for that. I actually stand on the feet when I use it. I actually moved my ball head from my manfrotto tripod and put it on this monopod when I use it. It is great and well made. You will love it.

This isn't a light stand. It is a frame to hang fabric backdrops. They have wing nuts on the top. There is nothing to attach a camera to.

Sorry... I haven't tried it... I bought it for a person in a wheel chair who couldn't steady a point and shoot camera... it is very sturdy and I believe it is used by others for that purpose.

Yes, It's a tripod. But dont' use it. Get a stable stand. The tripod is not stable

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

Can't picture what you are doing, it is designed for a standard tripod thread, but is very secure once you have the quick release attached to your car, it will hold your camera very securely regardless of what position it is in.I had the same issue as Ruchy, but was able to put it back together and Have to be careful with the spring

I would not try mounting this camera upside down since it was designed for a vertical surface. Am sure you can find an alternative.

You can stand around the camera, not necessary to be in front of the camera, to shot a picture. Mine only worked for several times, and is dead. I have to pay mailing fee by my self for sending it to the company. It may not be worth to me.

The Legs DO fold out further, so that you can get lower to the ground. If you want to get lower, what you can do is slide up the middle piece all the way up, it comes out. Then you can flip it upside down so that the camera is now between the 3 legs. Sure your photo will be upside down, but that's what the rotate function is for in your photo editor.

It's pretty powerful. I didn't try attaching an object to it. If the camera is tiny might be able to takeoff with it. You might want to buy a bigger unit.

It would require a level spot, you can use it on an incline to help support the weight of the camera and sense but you would need to hold on to it.

Well there was a neck strap with mine. It could probably be used as a shoulder strap but it's a bit fine for a shoulder strap. TBH a shoulder strap on this camera might be a little overkill. It's a very light and small camera. I am not using the neck strap, and just use a wrist band just in case I loose grip of it.

When you set up your camera with a heavy long lens on the gimbal head you balance it ie the lens is balanced against the weight of the camera so in your hands it weighs nothing. You can then move it easily to photograph yourtarget.

If you are taliking about mounting the camera to the stand, I'd have to say no. The top of the stand is cheap and wobbly.

Well you have to have a mount or 'hot shoe' on the camera or camcorder. You can also use a tripod.

It comes with a flat screw plate to attach your camera, but it has no flexibility. I strongly recommend getting a swivel tripod head. it gives you more height from the stand and you can position it anyway necessary.
