 A whole new way to take pictures. November 30, 2008
If you are like me you've found yourself many times in a new location with a great picture opportunity and you wished you had a good tripod to use for the increased picture clarity. However, lugging one of those full-body tripod is never really a practical option, and the small-scale ones are usually hard to position well on elevated surfaces that you come across. Joby Gorilla flexible tripod is an ideal solution for those sorts of situations. It is convenient and light, and the flexible legs make it easy to install and affix to almost any sort of raised surface. For the most part it works well with the bulkier SLR cameras (I use it with my Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black))but if you are using one of those you may not be able to mount it horizontally - the camera is just too heavy.
A great feature of this tripod is its portability. It can easily be attached to your camera bag and you can carry it everywhere with you.
If you are really interested in having a steady and crisp picture, I would recommend that in addition to this tripod you get a remote for your camera. A good introductory inexpensive one is Opteka RC-4 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, & XSi (Canon RC-1 Replacement).
Overall, this is a very cool and practical product.
Great November 29, 2008
Took this to england on a trip. easy to use. fun to see what you can get it to hang on to. nice to be able to get group pictures out in the middle of the wilderness.
Great addition to a traveling camera bag November 29, 2008
In cases when you can't/don't want to carry around a tripod, Gorillapod to the rescue. I am able to just slide it on a loop on my camera bag and take it anywhere I go. The uses are up to your imagination. It is a wonderful tool!
 Works great unless you try to hold the camera vertically November 28, 2008
For the most part, this is a great tripod. I particularly like that I can bend it to fit in an inconveniently-shaped spot in my camera bag. The removable mount is also nice -- I generally keep it on my camera all the time, so I can just snap it onto the tripod when I need it.
It gets only 3 stars, though, for being unable to hold my camera sideways (ie. portrait orientation). The joint between the mount and the central ball needs to be much, much stronger. This isn't a heavy camera -- one of the lighter dSLRs with a prime lens -- which makes me wonder what the "SLR" designation is supposed to indicate. Maybe I should have gotten the Zoom version, but I'm not willing to spend $50 to find out.
So So November 27, 2008
This little gadget is neat but it functionality is moderate. I have used it to hold my phone and MP3 player while in the car. It holds my phone okay but my MP3 player seems to cause it to be top-heavy, causing it to topple over.
The idea of this gadget is nice but, frankly, I find it more trouble than it is worth. I quit using it because my electronics would either topple over or I could not access them when needed (to answer the phone, change the music, etc...).
While I had high hopes for this, it was not all I had hoped.
