 Read Before you Buy! December 2, 2008
HOW BIG IS YOUR CAMERA? This is a great product, but if you buy one that's too weak to hold your camera's weight, you're going to be disappointed. The GP1 will hold up to 9.7 oz- basically your average small point-and-click digital camera only- think Elph. The GP2 will hold up to 1.75 lbs -smaller/lighter SLR cameras with short lenses only. The GP3 will hold up to 6.6 lbs and has a slightly larger camera attach point, similar to larger tripods -good for SLRs and smaller camcorders. Unless you want to spend 10-15 minutes fighting the gorilla to hold your camera without sagging (and forget about portrait/sideways shots), make sure you buy one that can support the weight! Otherwise it's tough to beat the versatility, reliability, and small size/weight of this tripod. From what I've seen of other reviews, you'll be disappointed with cheaper imitations as well.
Terrific product December 2, 2008
A great product that is handy for family pictures and in locations where camera positioning is an issue. We have purchased these as stocking stuffers for family members.
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.br /br /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. br /br /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).br /br /Overall, this is a very cool and practical product. br /
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!
