 Best tripod on the market!! September 28, 2006
60 out of 63 found this review helpful
I still can't believe that this thing is real! And I'm blown away by the quality of the tripod.
The 'legs' are stiff enought that it doesn't fall out of shape as it holds the camera. Each little grey ring around the ball-like pieces are rubberized to help it grip onto objects. I have been able to mount my Canon SD600 and hold one 'foot' of the tripod while it remains in the shape I bent it into. The leg didn't change shape or sag at all.
I've had it on top of my LCD, hung it from a doorway, sitting on top of a lamp... I think the legs are long enough and the feet are 'grippy' enough to mount it to the side of a bowling ball!
The clip on top lets you mount and dismount the camera quite easily and without hassle. The only problem I could see is that with the mounting clip attached to the camera I can't put the camera in the fitted Canon carrying case that I have for the SD600. Well, it fits with it on, but very snug.
I can't stress how much I love this little tripod!! Get one; you won't be disappointed!
great for lightweight cameras September 27, 2006

This is an awesome product. The rubber grips hold on to just about anything, anywhere. We've attached it securely to lampposts, gates, and trees. Very convenient for nighttime or long-exposure photography, much easier than lugging around a heavy full-sized tripod. It's also very portable; we keep it clamped onto the strap of the camera bag when not in use.
My only caution would be to pay careful attention to the weight limit. I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and belatedly discovered that his heavier camera tended to collapse the Gorillapod when it was used as a normal tripod. However, when the Gorillapod is used to grip onto less standard surfaces, it holds up his camera just fine. And it has no problem with my lighter camera.

Joby GP2-01P Gorillapod (large model)
We've converted exclusively to digital, so the 1 kilo weight limitation is not an issue for my family's use. Since I'm generally the pack mule for the group, I like the size and weight. My primary uses are when we're at the family's ranch, when hunting or other "way out" areas that make carrying a "real" tripod less than optimal.
Comments from the previous reviewer indicated that he'd has some problems getting the 'pod to attach to larger diameter objects. I've used it out in the boonies to "grab" a large variety of goodies, rocks, tree stumps, ledges, even a telephone pole. My daughter has since made it her mission to attach the unit (w. camera) to everything she encounters. This has included light standards for street lights, all the variety of street sign poles (thick and thing), road markers
Great tripod. Works mostly everywhere! September 5, 2006

I've had it a month now. I've used it in places that are tough to use a tripod. It stands, wraps, coils, and conforms. It won't hold a large video camera, obviously, but it's great for a small camera. Wraps on most anything.
Highly recommended.

I have a Cannon digital elf and this is the best purchace I've made for my camera. It's barely squeezes out the 2GB memory card. I wish I had something like this two years ago when I first started taking photos of my travels. The rubber feet make it easy to balance on it's own while the bendable legs and their own rubber grips make it possible to take a night shot or timed shot on any surface. The gorillapod is small enough to stick in your pocket and the quick release mount is perfect for quick set up with or with out the stand.
