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.

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

Sturdy, good for my j4000 cam and point and shoot camera.

I got this off of amazon for a ridiculously low price; ￡1 or something like that with free shipping - I don't know how they manage to make a profit! The tripod itself is made of plastic with rubber bands across each of the ball joints to aid grip when the tripod is tied around posts, shelves or the...

Cheap; good rubber; grips to anything

Brittle plastic; Difficult to straighten legs; can't get a level shot

Tried a variety of tripods over the years so decided on a treat for my new Olympus OMD M10. Perfect in every way with capability to keep quick release on camera, leveling a bonus but a tripod that hangs in a tree.......amazing, why buy anything else.

I love this product. I'm using for my Sony A5000.

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

I got this to take on a short hiking trip in Texas. My last trip I tried using nature to hold the camera but it was really challenging. I got this product because I was also going to propose to my girlfriend and I wanted to make sure I took a lot of good pictures.

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.

Great for backpacking. Fits in a snugpak response pack.
