Tiny, featherweight, infinitely adaptable, this little gorillapod will allow you to use any imaginable object or surface as a mount for your point-and-shoot. I have used it on car roofs, fence rails, tree limbs, handlebars and rafters.

-- inexpensive; -- light; -- adaptable; -- has a tiny; quick-release mounting plate that can be locked to tripod; -- can be used as a toy in situations of emergency boredom

-- wouldn't put anything other than a little point-and-shoot camera on it

A tripod is an essential accessory for anyone who cares about their photography. It's the only thing that can totally eliminate camera shake, even on very long exposures, and as I've noted before the action of setting up a camera and tripod has the effect of forcing you to think about your shot...

Here I am looking at three different tripod type devices to allow you to let go of your camera. First the Hybrid that works with DSLR or pocket cameras. The other two are smaller the Micro250 for the pocket offering and the Micro800 for the larger pocket offering or the smaller DSLR.

"After roughly 6 months of light use, one leg has broken off."

I have a Sony a6000 mirrorless camera and I wasn't sure if I should go with the Hybrid or the DSLR GorillaPod. Glad I chose the Hybrid. It's a good size (I've read some people complain that it's smaller than they expected but it's fine if you think of it as a flexible tabletop tripod).

it weighs nothing and takes up no space, and means that you can take group shots without leaving someone out or having an obnoxious forearm in the picture. Usually takes a bit to get it to stand and balance but there is really nothing that it can't be afixed to, weather it be in the mountains or in...

Rugged; Simple; Reliable

Expensive

was actually quite surprised how much movement there is with the spirit level in my Gorillapod ballhead, am a little concerned this may have an effect on my images,....

Easy to use

Build quality

The Joby GorillaPod Focus is a great way to get your camera, or audio recorder in those tight, or hard to reach places. Supporting 5KG, you can get your full size DSLR and lens down low to the ground, or places just not accessible with a conventional tripod.

The Job Gorilla Pod 3K Kit is NOT the item shown in the image above, that is the 1K Kit (this image is very misleading, DONT be miss sold. The 3K Kit comes with a Quick Release Ball Head which is the biggest issue with this product.

This is a new permanent addition to my vacation packing list. I've been a photographer for more than 35 years and have a wide range from the original Joby for point-and-shoot cameras up to full sized video and photo tripods.
