"With image stabilization becoming standard equipment on even the tiniest point and shoot cameras, you would think that things like tripods would no longer be necessary. Although image stabilization does amazing things, it still can’t give you the razer sharp images that a steady surface can give you. That’s why professional photographers still choose to lug around those big tripods; they simply give you the best possible pictures. Manfrotto has taken their tripod design and manufacturing expertise and have created the ModoPocket, a pocket sized mini tripod that fits easily on the body of your point and shoot while still allowing you to pocket your camera easily."
