Title: This item stinks, literally
Review: OK it might be functional but the plastic odor coming from this item reeked and was so strong that I did not want to put it in my camera bag. The odor has lasted for months. Are you folks aware that chemicals that outgass from electronics and plastics such as the "new car smell" are hazardous to your health? One item will not do you in, but most of us have gadget collections and the total collection of volatile chemicals can over time impact your health in subtle ways you may not recognize as due to these chemicals (fatigue, rashes, "brain fog", mood swings, etc.). I do my best to stay away from smelly gadgets for that reason, I would have returned it but the cost was less than postage. Manufacturers should not make products that pollute the user's environment. Which do you value more, a cheap but functional mini tripod or your health?
