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 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.

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

I bought this after passing it up for the less-expensive Dynex knockoff. After that one quickly failed, I forked over the extra cash for the Gorillapod. This small tripod has strong, easily maneuverable legs.

Solid and good grip

high price; awkward bubble level position

I bought a Gorillapod without the ball head and decided to get one. Very easy to use with the quick release plate. The plate stays secure on my Canon 80D. The whole set up is very sturdy and works great. I bought the SLR Gorillapod and it hold my 80D no problem. Gorillapods rock.

The Gorillapod was a gift, but it looked like it was most useful and handy.

Folds Small; Lightweight; Unfolds Quickly

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.

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.

I love being able to carry this tripod everywhere I go. It's light and sturdy and I can attach it to almost anything. The level gives me a little concern because it would be easy to get it broken.
