Amazon.com Product Description
The Joby Gorillapod makes taking digital photos more fun than ever. Designed with self-timer photography in mind, the Gorillapod lets you mount your camera just about anywhere you want so that you can include everyone in your automatic shots. All you need to do is use the universal 1/4-20 screw to attach your camera to the standard tripod mount, then wrap the three flexible segmented legs securely to a nearby tree branch, fence, park bench, or anything else that's convenient. Say goodbye to holding your camera at arm's length to take a photo of yourself and your friends--now you can be free to pose however you like!
Durable and innovative, the Gorillapod weighs just 1.6 ounces, or 45 grams, and can support cameras weighing up to 12.5 ounces, or 335 grams. Measuring just under six inches in length, the Gorillapod fits easily into any purse, backpack, or even jacket pocket.
Product Description
When your digital-camera camera needs support for unique photo shoots, an ordinary tripod might not be able to tackle the job. That's when a gorilla comes in handy. Actually, you need a Gorillapod. The Original Gorillapod is the lightest and most versatile camera tripod available today. Featuring over two dozen flexible leg joints that bend and rotate, the Gorillapod will firmly secure your compact digital camera to virtually any surface ? anywhere and everywhere! Gorillapod is the ideal camera accessory for photographers on the go. Throw it in your pocket or backpack and you'll be ready for your next adventure! While the Gorillapod serves all the functions of a traditional camera tripod - steadying your camera under low-light conditions, taking timed group shots, etc. - it is the only tripod malleable enough to provide you with the perfect shot while wrapped around a tree branch, hanging from a pole, or perched on a jagged rock. The possibilities are endless! Maximum weight load - 275g (9.7oz) Adapter - Universal -in tripod screw Size - 15 x 3 x 3cm (5.9 x 1.2 x 1.2) Weight - 45.3g (1.6oz)

 Will NOT hold up an SLR May 1, 2008
This model claims to be able to hold up an SLR, and I would debate what SLR they are discussing. I own a Konica Minolta 5d, and the G-Pod will not hold it up on a flat table. I have a little more luck on railings and branches, but the grip is not confience building.
On the other hand, this thing is awesome when holding my Olympus C-5050 rangefinder camera and other slightly lighter cameras. Finally, I have been able to use it to help stabilize my SLR when I have other items to help make it safe, but it is just not robust.
 Great Product! April 30, 2008
What a great idea! Wish I had thought of it. We take this thing everywhere- hiking, walking, zoos, museums, etc. We can set it up or hook it up on anything and instantly get good pictures that the whole family can finally be in. Definitely worth buying.
Good but not as durable as I'd hoped April 30, 2008
I've owned two of these now, and find that they're good at what they do but the plastic joining the legs to the tripod head is somewhat fragile. If it gets pinned under, say, a MacBook Pro, or drops from more than a few feet above the ground, the plastic shatters, and while superglue can do some repair, it can never hold the same load without re-fracturing.
 Great Product April 29, 2008
Performs as advertised and is a very versatile camera support. I would recommend it to anyone.
Good enough April 29, 2008
I frequently carry my dSLR with me to work or when hiking but don't always want the bulk of a traditional tripod. The Gorillapod is small enough to fit into my camera bag or backpack without adding much bulk.
I regularly use it for low/no light photography with my Rebel XT and 10-22mm lens. I have made exposures of up to 30 seconds with no problems whatsoever. The bendy legs allow me to mold it to say fit on a chain link fence or tree branch and then use a remote trigger to trip the shutter.
This product will never replace a traditional tripod but once you understand what it excels at and learn how best to use it you'll be incredibly happy you bought it.
For a handy little tripod that's slightly smaller and much more versatile that a traditional tabletop tripod the Gorillapod can't be beat.
