 Works great unless you try to hold the camera vertically November 28, 2008
For the most part, this is a great tripod. I particularly like that I can bend it to fit in an inconveniently-shaped spot in my camera bag. The removable mount is also nice -- I generally keep it on my camera all the time, so I can just snap it onto the tripod when I need it.
It gets only 3 stars, though, for being unable to hold my camera sideways (ie. portrait orientation). The joint between the mount and the central ball needs to be much, much stronger. This isn't a heavy camera -- one of the lighter dSLRs with a prime lens -- which makes me wonder what the "SLR" designation is supposed to indicate. Maybe I should have gotten the Zoom version, but I'm not willing to spend $50 to find out.
So So November 27, 2008
This little gadget is neat but it functionality is moderate. I have used it to hold my phone and MP3 player while in the car. It holds my phone okay but my MP3 player seems to cause it to be top-heavy, causing it to topple over.
The idea of this gadget is nice but, frankly, I find it more trouble than it is worth. I quit using it because my electronics would either topple over or I could not access them when needed (to answer the phone, change the music, etc...).
While I had high hopes for this, it was not all I had hoped.
 Tripod for eery situation November 23, 2008
The Joby Gorillapod is light and easy to use. Great for those difficult situations when bushwalking or in confined places. Small enough to pack in a backpack.
Can hold it's weight...and yours! November 23, 2008
For as long as I can remember I've never used any tripods for our cameras but Bogen and I've had some really heavy duty nice professional tripods.
I"ll admit that I was a bit apprehensive despite this products rave reviews BUT...I'm happy to report that it's a little dynamo!
I've had it on everything from the family "throw in your purse" camera to my professional SLR's! I even used it on the Digital Video Camera in a really tight spot yesterday without fear it would fall! It's amazing how sturdy it is for a little tripod AND Flexibility should be it's middle name ;)

Amazing little tripod November 23, 2008
This little tripod is just perfect size to take along while biking, hiking, etc. I have used it to stabilize my digital camera on a bike seat, rock, you name it! I would highly recommend it!
