Look ma, no hands




Unless you're a tourist in some remote area where there is no sign of civilization for the next 10 miles, I don't think there is a drastic need to go out and purchase the Extendable Hand Held Tripod. For $19.99, you get a tripod that makes you look silly while taking self-portraits. Despite holding the title of being the first extendable hand held tripod in the world, it's use is actually pretty limited as some of us prefer to snap photos with a large background, and this can only be achieved by trusting a local to capture that moment. I have yet to turn down any tourist's photo request, and I am sure nobody around the world are heartless enough to help somebody in need of an impromptu photographer.

I'm still trying to figure out how they have the nerve to call it a "tripod" when it doesn't have any feet at all ("pod"), let alone three ("tri").

golfwidow, or else you have a better name to call it? Named it "Single-pod", or "hand-pod"...What your suggestion?
