Mini Tripod

Yesterday at the CRS Sellabration I attended a panel on Technology Tools that Pay for Themselves, moderated by Mark Porter, with panelists Sam Miller, Doug Divitre and Pat Wattam. One of them held up a mini tripod, that looks like it was rubber. Since then, searching on the internet, I found this Mini Tripod by Vanguard. It sells for $1.73 and weighs .12 ounce - at that price you can get one for all your camera friends. I've never dealt with CyberGiftCenter.com which is offering this - has anyone else?

Office Layouts
