The mini tripod costs ~$9 but ships from a different vendor and therefore does not qualify for super-saver shipping. So you pay ~$6 for that item. The issue with the deal is that shipping is extra.

Obviously at 640x480 nobody's going to use one to shoot the next <i>El Mariachi</i>, but for what they're for, they're pretty nifty. I didn't have any technical problems along the lines of what Rich described, but then I wasn't using a Mac. I'm pretty sure the camera's owner does, though. Also, it amuses me that the Mino series is available from CafePress with whateverthehell you want printed on the case. If I were going to get one of my own, I'd probably get one with the Verbum Industries logo just for laughs.

The USB connection would only work on a few of my PCs, and not on the Mac even though it was advertised to do so... I returned it because it was pointless to shoot video if I couldn't offload it.
