Flexible tripod at Buy.com
This Q:Electronics Flexible Tripod may not be on sale at Buy.com this week, but the price they have it at screams a buy me price!

It's normally $19.99, but they have it for just $8.99 with free shipping, and it's totally flexible which I love!
I imagine all of the pictures that I have taken over the years that have come out all blurry and obviously shaky because my hands were shaking while I was taking them.
Good pictures, or they would have been good pictures, of the kids at special moments in their lives that I can never get back.
All I have is the memories of those times and some really blurry pictures.
You can set this flexible tripod on a flat surface like a table, or you can wrap the flexible legs around the arm of a chair or a tree or tree branch like is pictured above, and still get a steady picture.
My hands shake something fierce sometimes, so getting a picture that isn't full of motion blurs can be kind of difficult for me to do sometimes.
Having a flexible tripod that folds up small and flat to carry in a handbag or camera bag with my camera, and can then be placed onto any kind of surface to get a totally motion blur free picture, would be awesome for me.
I could even hang it upside down from a shelf, table, or branch, set the timer, and get a perfect picture every single time!
There are times that I have to make videos, and because my hands shake, I get totally blurry videos, it's awful.
I watch my videos after I film them thinking that I did OK, and when I watch it back, it's all shaky and some parts are blurry.
I will remake a video two to three times hoping to not get any motion blur, and no matter how many times that I do it, my hands still shake, and I still get some motion blur.
I hate it, I could really use a tripod, and a flexible one like this would be perfect for me so that the shakes and blurs would never be in another picture or video.
It has a standard universal 1/4-20 screw for attaching any kind of camera, three reinforced nylon ball-and-socket segmented legs, rubber feet for a good grip on any kind of surface, and a quick-release for taking your camera off of it quickly.
If it stays at this price, when I get some extra "me" spending money, I am definitely going to pick one of these up so that I can take perfect motion blur free pictures and videos from now on.
EDIT**
Christine commented that she has one of these flexible tripods, she actually bought it at Buy.com, and she said that it is one of those things that once you have it, you wonder how you lived without it before you got it.
The more that I think about it, the more that I want one.
I know that the quality of my pictures would be so so much better if my hands were not all shaky all of the time, but they do shake something fierce, so a tripod is definitely the way to go for me.
If Buy.com keeps this tripod at this low price for a few more weeks, I may have to get one, I definitely want one, so I just hope that they do keep it at this awesomely low low price for a little while longer.
My pictures and videos will be all that much better if I can get this tripod.

I have one of those, in fact, I got it from Buy.com. It's one of those things where you wonder how you ever got by without it.
