Editorial Reviews:

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.

Conclusion: Very cool thingy!

Review: I'm a photographer and I always have at least a small digital camera with me. However, from time to time I want to be in the pictures which requires me to set the camera somewhere and use the timer. This cool little tripod is the perfect solution to this problem. With the flexible legs you can grab the random tree branch or whatever and get the perfect composition. I've played with these tripods before but this version has some slick advantages over earlier ones I've used.

First off it comes with several different mounting brackets in addition to the traditional camera mount. You get two self adhesive ones and a nifty suction cup that works surprisingly well. The other cool advancement is that the head locks the brackets on to keep an accident from dropping your device.

Conclusion: Just OK

Review: This is a lot floppier than I expected it to be. I've tried using it with my little digital camera, and unless it's positioned perfectly upright it will not stay in place. It would never work for me to try the position in the picture, where the legs are wrapped around a pole and the camera is off to the side. My camera is not too heavy, either. Who knows, maybe I got a defective one.

Conclusion: Works like a charm

Review: Works great. Small size means it fits in the camera bag with the rest of the gear!

Evaluation:

Conclusion: Quite Useful

Review: This device does what it is acclaimed to do. It is quite sturdy and will safely hold my Nikon D200 with battery pack/grip and the 18-200mm lens. It will even hold my camera/grip WITH my Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 lens that weighs a sold 8 lbs (all together), however the unit is only rated at holding 6.5 lbs, but will hold my 8 lb camera/lens when no other options exist. Remember that added care must be exercised with it's placement, as there is much greater risk that it could collapse and injure the equipment when it's weight rating is exceeded.

It is very light and easy to carry, however it really needs a carrying case. I am going to make one myself, but the manufacturer really needs to offer this as an option. Also keep in mind that the unit really needs a tripod head. I have a small Manfrotto ball head that works very well. If no head is used, you will experience a great deal of unnecessary frustration, but conversely, doesn't every tripod need a head? Don't get this Gorillapod without a head, otherwise you'll have a unit with very limited functionality.

Conclusion: great for hiking trips

Review: This tripod is great for a couple who wants to get some good pictures of a hiking, beach or any other trip without having to ask random people if they will take a picture. The clip makes it easy to take the camera on and off the tripod and because the legs are flexible, you don't need to much space to store it. Great purchase and a lot of great pictures!
