Dunno. A REAL travel blogger woulda coughed up the five bucks to find out! 😉
]]>Anna: Gomen, gomen! My brain was really fried that weekend, so yeah…
Ate Gita: Hehe, thanks for that reassurance! I’m sure there’s a difference in the quality, but I would love to hear from the owners of that “flexi-tripod”
Davidd: Wow. I am speechless. That Goofy pod is a perfect clone. But hmm, where do yo think the difference lies? In the quality of the material? the flexibility?
]]>(Even 1800 pesos is a good deal; mine cost a bit more than that. Then again, I got the SLR Zoom version.)
A quick Google search for “flexi tripod” turns up a number of knock-offs, including the Monkey Pod, the Jacobs Mini Flexi Tripod, the PIK mini flexi tripod, and the (no, I’m not making this up) Goofy Flexi Tripod (http://www.lensamalaysia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4729), a cheap knock-off from Malaysia that appears to be the same as the one you picture here.
Just like Pinky Street figures, it’s hard to tell the difference between the “real thing” and a “cheap fake” from a photograph, but I’m sure the difference is significant.

I wonder who among the people I know are flying CebuPac soon…
