Compact Camera Tripods

DigiDudes are Keychain Tripods With Bodacious Attitude

— November 4, 2009 — Tech
The bodacious looks of the Quirky DigiDude camera tripod are enough to make folks think it’s just a cutesy toy, but the tripod is a fully functional, highly portable device to steady your camera.

Once the dude’s head is screwed off, his retractable legs pull out and he becomes a camera mount. DigiDudes can be used as keychain fob or attached to a camera bag. DigiDudes mount to most point and shoot cameras, flipcams, and pocket-sized cameras.

Five dudes are in production and available on the Quirky site: Pinky Scorsese, Snot Buster, 1iChomp, BoltBot, and G-bling-Money-Son.
