BARSKA Accu Grip Handheld Tripod System

A previous reviewer noted that about 1/2" behind the threaded screw mount is another, small sharp screw tip protruding up into the deck of the handle.

This is the perfect grip for my Kodak Zi8 and works well for all my small cameras, but as soon as I step up to the DSLRs --- fogetaboutit.

I've seen a lot of complaints that there is a little, sharp screw coming out of the top as well (you can see it on Amazon's picture of the product). THIS HAS BEEN FIXED by Barska, and the one I got for Christmas has just the 1/4" screw coming out of the top. It fit perfectly fine on my Canon 7D (it is long enough and didn't strip any threading), and it is exactly what I was expecting. Great product for it's price, and I am perfectly satisfied!
