I like the Gorillapod, but I have concerns over how durable it is. The first time I used it on vacation, it broke after only using it several times. I bought a second Gorillapod to replace the one that broke, and so far so good. I like being able to position it in places you would be able to use a traditional tri-pod, like around a thin tree branch, but I am still worried that it might break and I will have to find another flexible tri-pod. *Tip for parents: it wraps well around stroller handles!

A gal I knew some time back had one of these and I loved the idea of it, but it took me a couple of years before I decided to buy one. I take a lot of pictures of food with my Kodak point and shoot, so this was a perfect investment. I love the flexibility of it and even when I don't have it on a steady surface, resting the tripod's legs on my shoulder or chest helps prevent it from moving very well.

My only complaint is that each of the joint is a ball and socket type joint and they can pop out. They go right back in, but if you bend the tripod legs too far in one direction, you'll have to deal with putting them back in. Upon further inspection, if the socket gets cracked, you'll have a leg popping out more often than you'd like, so don't be too rough with it.

For the price and flexibility of this product, I'd say it's a great investment for anyone who wants a tripod for their point and shoot without making a huge investment.

I bought an imitation product that works similarly to this one, but it don't work nearly as well. The Joby works great and I would certainly recommend it.

This is so awesome! When my husband and I go on vacation, we no longer have to ask strangers to take our photo! At family gatherings, no one is left out. This little guy will set up absolutely anywhere, from the dining room table to a street sign.
highly recommended.

This product was great, shipping on time, does exactly what it says it does, flawless product received. For some reason i thought it was going to be taller. I haven't measured it, but i think it is about a foot tall.No big deal though.
