This acts like a tripod in places where its impossible to get a real tripod into, wrapping the legs around things to hold a camera in unusual situations. The legs bend no problem making it easy to prop your gopro /camera almost anywhere and the mount for your your gopro/camera is also very sturdy, strong to hold mirrorless cameras. High elastic rubber, both rigid and flexible, still works as before after repeated and repeated bending. The legs are non slip which is great when using it on the ground. It’s so easy to reposition. Versatile to hold DSLR camera for daily use
