 Original Gorillapod May 29, 2008
I love this tripod. It fits perfectly inside my purse because it's fairly small. Despite it's small size, it's sturdy enough to hold my digital camera (non-SLR). I first used it at the Grand Canyon which helped me take pictures from rocks and even tree branches!!! I've also used this tripod on chairs and poles and treadmills. It comes in sooooooo handy when you want a group picture but no one is around to take the picture! My friends want one now!
If you go to the Joby website, you'll see a gallery of photos which exemplifies what you can wrap this tripod around.
Don't be a skeptic, try it and see for yourself! May 15, 2008
Before I bought this, I questioned myself how in the world it would hold up my SLR... But after I gave it a try, it supported my Canon XTi + battery grip + Canon 24-105mm f/4L without a problem. I purchased this primarily for my trip to San Francisco for those situations where it'd be difficult to lug a tripod around. It was a great idea, I wrapped this around poles, put it on top of garbage cans, on ledges, on railings, on everything! It turned out to be a great vacation since most of the time my girl friend and I don't get many photos together, but with the Gorillapod, all that is the past!
There is only a few things I don't like:
1) Hard to adjust without a ball head. Unfortunately, by adding one, the weight would likely increase to a point where it's not worthwhile carrying the Gorillapod around, or worse yet, the Gorillapod being unable to support the weight. I found that after I had wrapped the Gorillapod around something, it took a lot of fidgeting to get it in the vicinity of where I want it. Needless to say, fine adjustments are just not possible with the Gorillapod.
2) It's not possible to get it back to the original orientation that the tripod was when it shipped. Once you've moved the legs around, it's next to impossible to re-orientate the legs to be straight. There'll always be a kink in the legs.
Though... those two reasons shouldn't be enough to stop you!
 Neat idea. More than just a toy. May 11, 2008
This product arrived a few days back. I attached this to my Canon Rebel xti mounted with a tamron 17-50 lens and played around with it.
Here's what I think:
Pros:
- Very versatile. I entangled this thing around chair legs, large stones etc and took pictures.
- Small and handy, which means I'll be actually take it along, and using it.
Cons:
- Minor adjustments to the camera position,angle etc. are absolutely impossible without a ball head. This is probably pretty obvious, but could have been stated clearly in the product description.
good joby May 10, 2008
Does what it says. Looks cool. Lock can get stuck. Perfect for digicams and travel. Not for SLR's or video cameras. I'd buy it again.
Love it! May 9, 2008
Bought this by the beginning of April, and i absolutely love it! Brilliant design.. Get one if you don't already have one! Wraps around, hooks and fits to almost anything you'd need to fixate your camera to.
Shipped fast and I definately recommend it!
