 Amazing flexible tripod. December 16, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The quality of this tripod is evident as soon as you try to position the legs. My camera is rather hefty, and has the tripod mount on the far side of the camera (not centered). The tripod handled the extra offset with no problems.
The design allows you to infinitely adjust your camera to the perfect angle, and know that it will stay there. The ability to position your camera in areas previously considered "precarious" allows you to capture unique shots.
Highly recommended!
Slight Con: There is a piece that you screw your camera onto that slides off of the tripod--it is normally locked into place, and I haven't had any problems when taking pictures. The issue is if you lose it, it could be difficult to procure a new one.

I got this last week. I have had a blast hanging my camera all over the place and taking pictures at weird angles that were not previously possible. The feet and arms are sticky and the pod is compact enough to easily take anywhere.
Please be aware Amazon has a bad description. Per the manufacturer's web site this model only supports 1.75 pounds. This is a major difference to SLR Camera folks because a good body and high end lens can easily go over 1.75 pounds. If I would have known this I would have ordered the SLR+Zoom model.
 Not great for long exposures. December 12, 2006

For long exposures you really need a traditional tripod and not this. The flex in the legs means that you'll have movement for a heavy SLR ( I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi). With that said, it's very well made and the tripod is useful for other duty and also is a great handhold. I recommend their lighter model (or even this one) for lighter point and shoots on long exposures but heavy cameras do not stay stable for long enough on this. Still a useful part of your kit however.

I ordered both this and the Vanguard VS41 from amazon, and while the vanguard flexible mini tripod is a great product for its pricepoint, it's the gorillapod that's more functional, and is actually able to be bent alot, and grip onto things properly. It's made out of plastic, the only rubber on it are the gray parts. It's of decent build quality, but doesnt come with directions, make sure you push the joby icon in to release the pod mount(also switch the base to the unlocked position). There's not need to get a second mounting clip, they're just a small piece of plastic with a screw.
Most useful tripod I've ever owned December 3, 2006

As a semi-pro shooter, I'd like to report that, while it won't replace a professional studio-quality tripod, this is the ONLY tripod I carry with my kit at all times. It has yet to let me down.
