Do you have to get yourself a genuine Vidpro mini tripod?
Or, are you open to other possibilities for a good mini flexible tripod for photos and video?
The timeless question emerges again: should you go with the most well-known brand name or go with an alternative?
You can get high quality copycats of the Vidpro or you can go for an entirely different design. They all have advantages and disadvantages. They're all quite affordable and can do the job for you.
The vidpro can be used anywhere. Uneven surfaces of any type are no problem for this accessory. You can shoot at very creative angles and wrap one or more of the legs around a variety of objects.
But what about those alternative chooses for mini tripods? Most of them will work just fine.
Mini tripods have dramatically improved in terms of their performance and usefullness over the last 20 years. Product innovations as the result of consumer feedback is a big part of the improvement.
Photographers providing feedback, both through customer surveys and particularly social media, have pressured manufacturers and designers to improve the performance of cameras, lenses, and related accessories.
Lengthy product reviews on retail sites like Amazon give valuable feedback to sellers.
Customer comments can cause positive changes in all kinds of products.
Some manufacturers will listen to the criticism and improve design or features.
Reviews on flexible mini tripods are no different.
