Gary Fong Flip Cage Tabletop Tripod for Compact Cameras (Sunshine Yellow)
Gary Fong is a lifelong photographer with a knack for innovative solutions in the lighting realm, but also dabbles with other inventions that solve photographers' problems. The Flip Cage is such a product, and is a great travelling companion for most point and shoot cameras fitting the general "deck of cards" form factor.
The Flip Cage acts as a rollbar, but also allows you to carry your point and shoot around your neck like a regular SLR thanks to its strap eyelets and 3' long included strap.
More importantly, though, the Flip Cage allows both horizontal and vertical compositions with adjustment for your tilt axis just as if you had a tabletop tripod. Weighing less than ¼ lb and adding little mass to your point and shoot, the Flip Cage is a strong candidate to come along for every vacation or evening out with friends.
Flip Cage can also do light duty as a macro shooting stand, thanks to its slot for the camera screw which allows some fore-and-aft distance adjustment with the camera facing the table and the 'roll bars' oriented as if the camera was shooting a normal vertical composition.

- "Bumpers" protect camera's housing
- Allows horizontal or vertical compositions, each with tilt adjustment

Comments about Gary Fong Flip Cage Tabletop Tripod for Compact Cameras (Sunshine Yellow):
Clever design for protecting newer, thinner pocket digital cameras. Long strap provided to sling tripod with camera folded inside the roll-cage over my shoulder. Compact design for a tabletop tripod.
I tried it with a 7-year old bulky pocket digital camera. The camera was too thick for the roll-cage frame; the side panels of the cage judded out at an angle. In a pinch I would use it with the bulky camera. The tripod worked fine.

Comments about Gary Fong Flip Cage Tabletop Tripod for Compact Cameras (Sunshine Yellow):
Use it with my Panasonic Lumix FX-700. It works well but keep in mind that the FX-700 is one of the thinnest small digitals in the market. The cage seems quite sturdy. Would have preferred that Gary left his name off the strap or at least not put on there multiple times --- no offense.
The cage is very steady on all level surfaces.
