All tripods pretty much work for any camera. The threaded holes on the bottom of cameras (and video cameras too) are all the same size, and the screws on all tripods are the same size. So there is no specific tripod that is "good for this camera." The main variation between tripods is stability; since this camera weighs almost nothing, any tripod will work. If you had a heavy DSL with a big lens, or a professional video camera, you would want something heavy duty. You generally get what you pay for: a cheap tripod will be flimsy, an expensive one will be heavy and sturdy. But again, for this camera you don't need heavy and sturdy, so any inexpensive tripod should be fine.

i have the joby gorilla (small size) and i looooooooooove it !!! i use it for everything and it wraps around tree branches and stuff.

For portability I like the flexible Gorillapod which can wrap around poles or tree branches. For on-the-floor tripods look for one the best height for you. They come in a variety of lengths and if you are very tall the 61" will be uncomfortable and/or annoying for long shooting sessions.

This camera will work with pretty much any ordinary tripod. In other words, you're more likely to find a tripod for this camera that fits than one that doesn't. The tripod screw size is almost standard.

I think it will work with any camera that can accept a tripod. I had a PanasonicZ35 and it worked perfectly on it and it's basically a point and shoot like yourSX260. Check the bottom of your camera and it you see a hole with grooves for a tripod then this will work. You can't turn or tilt the camera without a ball head and that's more money. I would get a good lightweight tripod for the same money you'll spend. I only got the Dolica because it's light and simple to use in the woods and you use the height adjustments on the legs to change your viewing height. I brace it with my feet or plant it a little in the soil or sand to steady it. I think it will work with any camera that can accept a tripod.

This tripod will fit, the thread is universal so you will be able to use your camera on any tripod, even the mini ones. However, this tripod is made of awful quality, the plastic started like, "dusting" and within 2 weeks, it became totally unusable, and I only used it 4 times at home... When I bought the tripod I did not believe what others said, but believe me... it is true. just add a few more dollars to the purchase and get a ravelli.

I would recommend attaching to the tripod screw on the bottom of the camera.......... good hunting..........

Any standard-mount tripod will do. Cheap ones are available at Wal-Mart etc.

This camera has a standard tripod mount. Any tripod should work with it, though it'll look funny on some of the larger ones. :)

There should be an opening on the bottom of your camera. There should be a screw on top of the tripod. Screw the camera on to the screw. :-)

Hi, thanks for your email, I do not sell tripod but make sure that you buy something heavy duty as you do not want to place an expensive heavy Camcorder on a chip tripod.Take care, Norman.

It should be fine...i honestly feel this tripod is a little cheaply made...when it arrived some pieces were broken and panning left to right is a little "tight". Ive tried loosing it all the way and that didn't really help. My advice? Buy the one from best buy for $70 that one is an actual heavy duty tripod

I just spoke to Creative and the tripod socket (YES it has one) is next to it in a way that the USB is not a problem. He assures me that the tripod will fit just fine . As for standing any of these cameras up by themselves, given how thin they all are I would never stand any of them up because they could so easily tip over.

It depends on the weight of the Camera. If you plan to use a tripod buy a good one.

Not an issue for me. Are you sure you have the standard U.S. tripod mount threads? If not, you may need an adapter available from most camera supply stores.

Umm... I would prolly not get this tripod. I only use this for a JVC camcorder. It is pretty small and for the most part "solid", but prolly would be rather shaky and there's a pretty good chance it would keep falling over.

I never attached any tripod yet. I think a regular tripod will work just grate, if you put a tripod base it may be not look well depending the tripod base. Other than that, grip is perfect and is always on my camera.

Sure will. I bought an hour ago the Polaroid 72 inch tripod for 39 bucks. Bought two. Take a look at those also. Good luck D

I personally would not trust a tripod this flimsy with a DSLR. The monopod does not have a head either. I returned the kit immediately after opening. I would also recommend seeing how much weight a monopod/tripod head is rated for. I purchased a head that would hold up to 11 pounds, in case I'm using a long lens. I'd rather the equipment be a little on the stout side, holding my camera. Best of luck in your shopping. Amazon has been great.

I wouldn't recommend this product. I am not sure what I left as feedback, but after having the tripod for a few months, it broke. I got it because I was on a very tight budget, and unfortunately I got what I paid for. I can tell you that it seemed to have a universal attachment, so I would imagine it will fit any camera. Good luck and happy 'shooting'.
