this thing is the sh** for the HV10...tripod, monopod, and flowpod all in one. it's stable enough to use as a tripod (in a no- or light- wind situation...) with this weight of this camera. the ball lever system in the legs means super-smooth pans and tilts. at 1.5 lbs., you can easily carry it off the ground and it will add the weight necessary to smooth out your shaky footage. it's ultra-portable for travel.

i bought one of these by chance at a tiny little camera store two blocks from my house. i stopped in to pick up some extra tape for a trip and bought this on an impulse. i used it all last week, and it is an outstanding fit for the HV10. you can add a lot of smooth movement to your footage, a lot of stability, and it doesn't take much practice.
get it. you won't regret it.
