The Joby works fine. I ordered a package the joby plus a few freebies and did not get the freebies. I contacted Adorama and said that they would fix it. Except when I came from vacation they said I had to send it back, in order to get the freebies.

As a powersports photographer, I've been looking for a portable light stand to bring along on rides that provides me with the durability I need in extreme conditions as well as functionality and portability.

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...

I'm pretty happy with the Gorillapod. Just to note, it's a bit smaller then I was expecting, not that that's really an issue for my use.

An easily transportable and affordable tripod

I bought my husband the Gorillapod for Christmas. We go hiking a lot and like to take pictures when we're out. It will certainly come in handy for that when summer comes. But when we tried to use it to take some family Christmas photos in our home, it didn't work so well.

These days, everyone is an amateur Francis Ford Coppola-or maybe that's an amateur Kevin Smith. Anyway, if you go to any sporting event, birthday party, soccer game, or random Tuesday happy hour, someone's bound to break out a portable video camera to capture the moment.

Light and portable; Smooth panning and tilting

Not enough bulk to stay put

No more arm length self portraits.... I can actually hook my camera to almost anything back up and have a great spontaneous shot anywhere...

Good Stability; Lightweight; Unfolds Quickly
