Pedco UltraPod II Lightweight Camera Tripod

Pedco UltraPod II Lightweight Camera Tripod

Q: Will you prefer it over the Joby Gorillapad? If yes, how is it better? If no, what makes gorillapad better?

Yes, I prefer the Pedco UltraPod II for it was very stable on table tops. Also it is very compact such that I can fold it up to fit in my camera back pack. The added feature which drew me to this item was the Velcro strap that allowed me to strap tripod with my DSLR camera to railings, chairs and poles. The strapping was stable for the DSLR camera and there was plenty of room to move the camera to focus on my subject. This was a great buy. I would also recommend using a remote control for the camera to give you more flexability with locations to strap the camera. I used the remote control and tripod strapped to a rail for steady evening shots on a cruise ship.

Q: Would it be possible to point a DSLR straight up for a picture of the stars with this tripod?

Yes it is, I just attached my Fujifilm s3pro to it (albeit without a lens) to verify; I would tilt the camera toward the single leg with the logo on it for balancing, and perhaps have the bracket (which has two pivot points) pointed upward to bring the camera closer to the tip of the tripod legs. That way it extends outward less. being a camera with a built-in grip it only sticks out about two inches past the long leg and is perfectly stable. I just stacked my Nikon FE with a 50mm 1.8, AND my 35mm 2.8 manual lenses on it and it's holding here on my desk just fine. :) so yes, two cameras and two lenses worth of weight, straight up, just fine. I recommend a cable or remote release in any case, but especially in this one (it is plastic after all). OR just use timed release if you have the patience and don't mind 2-5 seconds between shutter press and activation. You'll have to compose carefully or place the pod on a surface that let's you compose, but it will work. cheers!

Q: Does this have a quick-release plate?

You can buy it extra... I don't know if the one I got was defective but it would not hold the camera still (when attached the camera would still be able to rotate freely on the tripod).

Q: Would this work for a pair of binoculars?

This tripod uses a industry standard 1/4"- 20 thread mount. If the binoculars have a 1/4" - 20 thread then it would work.
