$40 on Amazon. Not 25. Apparently discontinued according to manufacturer's website. Does anyone really need a tabletop tripod??

I wonder if you can take this crossbow through airport security. But Sir, it's really a Camera Stabilization System.

Camera tripod, anchor, crossbow,and grappling hook all in one. Pretty James Bondish...

I wasn't sure if I was looking at a bow, at an anchor, or what, until I read the title.
The worst form of cheesy advertising. A $2 table-top tripod (held by strings, in this case) becomes a $25 item when it gets a fancy name.

You can do the same thing with a mini-tripod and a small bungee cord and way cheaper.

Why get this tiny camera mount when you can get a full tripod at Geeks.com for the same price?

Because things that Geeks sold fall apart in no time. Those guys are nice, their stuffs are crappy.

As described and pictured on the Amazon site, it seems to be a pretty good product if you often have to secure your SLR to a fence, but I haven't found a need for that yet and it's $48 delivered. Ben, I believe Amazon is yanking your chain.
