I recently bought a new flip mino hd camera as a present for a friend. When he opened it, I noticed this really cool miniature tripod that came with it - I am very jealous!  Not only does it work well for around the house or on a table in the back yard, but the flexable legs let you wrap them around unusual shaped objects anywhere you might be.  What the heck am I talking about?  Mostly tree branches, LOL.  You see, I do a lot of hiking and back packing in the mountains.  It is often a challenge to find a good place to sit a camera for that group shot.  With this cool little flip camera tripod you can just wrap the legs around a convenient tree branch and you are set to go!  And yes, it's the same thread as all other cameras so you can use it with any camera you carry.  The best $10 you can spend for your picture taking.  That gives me another reason to upgrade from my old flip to a new mino HD, looks like my son is getting a used flip camera ....
