I’ve blogged about a number of tripods in the past, window mounted tripods, walking stick tripods, and even tripods made out of string, but when it’s all said and done the tripod that I use the most is the venerable UltraPod. It’s small and folds shut, it’s got a Velcro strap to wrap around posts and such, and a ball head to point your camera in the right direction. Now it’s not perfect, many times the side of the ball joint will stop you from getting just the angle you want but because of the strap you can try to get a better orientation. Barring that, for the price it’s a perfect thing to have in your camera bag for those slow shutter speed exposures.
