Probably, given the right circumstances. I have a few that I use to stick speedlights in small spaces, but I've stuck my D800 on one a few times. I wouldn't trust it on the edge of a cliff, but with the legs spread out it's only a few inches off the ground, so there's not a lot of risk. It's not very sturdy though, so it won't help for critical work. I just use mine occasionally to snap a family pic or two when carrying a tripod is impractical.
Every tool has its uses. Don't ask it to do anything it's not built to do and you should be fine. If you're looking to do long exposures or critical macro work or something like that, I'd pass. Otherwise, they can come in handy.
