Great product!
This thing is not only cool but very handy. It fits into your pocket. It is strong enough to take abuse as well as hold my camera at any angle. Very cool.

Fantastic product. We bought this while looking for one of those mini tripods that you can velcro to another object and found this to be much better. The grip is strong and most situations can be accommodated. It’s a little pricey, but well made so very much worth the cost. Older, heavier cameras may tend to overwhelm it in some positions, but for the most part, it works great. If nothing else, it replicates a “traditional” tripod well, and the added bending and gripping feature really makes the difference. I no longer have to balance the camera on the hood of the car with sticks and rocks to get a good photo of us during our travels. Everywhere we go, somebody stops us to ask where to get one… it’s quite a spectacle.
I ordered an extra shoe so we can transfer the gorillapod from her camera to mine. If you’re in the market for a new camera, try and get one with the tripod mounting shoe somewhat centrally located on the bottom of the camera. My fiance’s camera has the tripod mount on one side so the camera wants to lean to the other side. Fortunately, the gorillapod is strong enough to resist this.

Great versatile tripod for lightweight camera/flip video recorders
This is a great, lightweight, compact, versatile tripod. It is great for lightweight cameras and camcorders, it is not a good chose for large camera.

Small, fun, versatile and it works!
My 15-year old granddaughter was the one to whom I gifted it to match her new blue digital camera (and the Gorillapod Flexible Tripod was blue, of course, and that was a big…

I still can’t believe that this thing is real! And I’m blown away by the quality of the tripod.
The ‘legs’ are stiff enought that it doesn’t fall out of shape as it holds the camera. Each little grey ring around the ball-like pieces are rubberized to help it grip onto objects. I have been able to mount my Canon SD600 and hold one ‘foot’ of the tripod while it remains in the shape I bent it into. The leg didn’t change shape or sag at all.
I’ve had it on top of my LCD, hung it from a doorway, sitting on top of a lamp… I think the legs are long enough and the feet are ‘grippy’ enough to mount it to the side of a bowling ball!
The clip on top lets you mount and dismount the camera quite easily and without hassle. The only problem I could see is that with the mounting clip attached to the camera I can’t put the camera in the fitted Canon carrying case that I have for the SD600. Well, it fits with it on, but very snug.
I can’t stress how much I love this little tripod!! Get one; you won’t be disappointed!

It’s not perfect, but it’s a very good tripod!
The only complaint I have about this tripod is that it is not stiff enough to hold my camera sideways without falling over.

As long as you don’t expect the world of the Gorillapod, it won’t disappoint. I’ve had a slew of small tripods for years (to match my succession of digital cameras; I’m tough to please). The Ultrapods are good, sturdy and stable, but not as versatile as this. For me, the biggest feature has to be the quick-release shoe. My full-size tripods have always had this feature, but I’ve never been able to find it on the minis. It’s extremely useful. No more struggling with screwing the tripod in when you need to take that quick picture, desperately trying to keep from cross-threading the plastic mounting threads common on today’s cameras. The Gorillapod snaps onto the camera in about three seconds. This won’t hold my camera as still as my 4-pound tripods, but it’s a heck of a lot lighter and easier to carry with me all the time. While Joby lists the maximum weight capacity as 12 ounces, my camera still works fine despite being a couple of ounces over that. If there’s one thing I don’t really like, it’s that it does take a bit of fiddling to straighten out the legs after use. But if you’re not obsessively neat, you probably won’t mind some slightly crooked legs. If you really want a bit more stability, see the Gorillapod SLR. A quarter pound heavier and twice the price, but when you need it, sometimes you need to bite the bullet.

Great product!
This product is very useful and durable. You can attach it to almost anything and I love that it comes in a different colors.

Great Little Tripod. Very Light and Flexible.
Best micro-tripod I’ve ever used. Extremely light and will mold into whatever position need for the moment (e.g. tripod, clinging onto handrails, etc). The colors are fun too.

Would recommend.
Easy to use. Works well with my camera. Convenient when you don’t have a decent place to set a camera down.

VERY HAPPY
This is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone. It frees you to take picture without having to get a kind stranger to take your picture.
