Joby GP1-00EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod

The gorillapod firmly secures your compact digital camera to just about anything, anywhere and everywhere. The gorillapod doesn't require an elevated flat surface for you to take the perfect shot unlike traditional tripods. Habitat - Everywhere

The Joby GP1-01P 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.

Customer Reviews:

Amazing flexible tripod.
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.

best in class
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
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.

waste of money
bought the SLR version for my nikon D70s connected it up tried to use it on a verticle pipe and it flopped all over the place not stable at all. Would not take the weight as stated.

digital camera necessity
I am a mom who takes her 2-year-old everywhere. On our last outing to the zoo, we used our Gorillapod to take a family photo. We were able to attach it to the umbrella stroller handle, without tipping it over. WE LOVE IT!!! I think we have our Christmas photo. This tripod is great for any parent trying to catch their kids in action. I actually get to be in the photo with my daughter, without having to bother strangers.
