I bought this Gorillapod ball head to fit on my Induro 75cm high hat tripod. I wanted a lightweight head that would not cause problems on foreign trips.
I had considered other options but for the price this offered all the flexibility I needed.

Easy To Use; Improves Tripod Function

Spend real money get a real tripod. You will see it is made cheap, I kept it because I am sure it will cost me to return and restock it.. Hate the small print.

As this is pretty much the only tri-pod which doesn't give a level shot, 2 stars

Cheap; good rubber; grips to anything

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

I love taking night or long exposure photos; however, keeping your camera still is always the issue. There are tips and tricks to hand-hold and steady your camera, but often with long exposures, they're still not good enough.

-Small; light; and portable; -Integrated ballhead; -Wraps and grips around a whole range of objects; -Easily creates a stable; level platform both horizontally and vertically

-Pan without tilt a little bit awkward; -Unknown how the joints and rubber will perform long term

Here at Gear Patrol, we really like taking pictures. That's why you see so much original photography here on the site (Yes, it's ironic to see a stock photo with this post, but how we gonna take a picture of our camera without our camera?).

Matty Graham reviews this handy camera support £40 The Gorillapod is lightweight, has a quick release plate and can hold up to 800g (the larger SLR Zoom can support 3kg). What makes this support special is the flexible legs that can be splayed like a tripod or wrapped around trees or posts.

Over the last few weeks, I've been using the Gorillapod Original to take macro pictures used on my food blog. Since my compact digital camera doesn't have image stabilization, the Gorillapod has been fantastic at steadying the picture. It's also great for taking group shots during a hike.

The Joby Gorillapod SLR is the newest addition to the Gorillapod lineup. Basically, it is a flexible tripod for versatility and portability.
