What the Octopus Tripod Is
The HamiltonBuhl Octopus Tripod is a flexible mini camera stand built from ABS and rubber. Its bendable legs wrap around poles, grip uneven surfaces or stand flat on a desk. A universal 1/4-20 screw mounts compact cameras, webcams or the supplied smartphone clamp. The head rotates 360 degrees for quick framing changes.
Upgrading From Improvised Supports
This tripod replaces stacks of books, tape or makeshift clamps that slip during recording. The jump is worth it when you need repeatable angles for stop-motion, time-lapse or video calls. Maximum load is 1 lbs, so heavier mirrorless rigs or full-size DSLRs with large lenses are outside its design envelope.
Build Integration
The clamp slides onto most smartphones with or without a thin case, then locks onto the 1/4-20 thread. Legs fold to a compact bundle that fits in a small bag pocket. No batteries, cables or app pairing are required — just bend, mount and shoot.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/4-20 screw on the HamiltonBuhl Octopus Tripod fit my camera?
Yes, the universal 1/4-20 screw is the standard mount used by most compact cameras, webcams and video cameras.
How do I attach my phone to the tripod, and what mistake should I avoid?
Slide the phone into the included adapter clamp; the maker advises removing your phone case first so the jaws grip the handset securely.

The flexible rubber coating is bonded to the ABS core and designed to hold its shape through repeated bending; no scheduled replacement is required.
