The Joby Gorillapod makes taking digital photos more fun than ever. Designed with self-timer photography in mind, the Gorillapod lets you mount your camera just about anywhere you want so that you can include everyone in your automatic shots. All you need to do is use the universal 1/4-20 screw to attach your camera to the standard tripod mount, then wrap the three flexible segmented legs securely to a nearby tree branch, fence, park bench, or anything else that's convenient.
 |
Durable and innovative, the Gorillapod weighs just 1.6 ounces, or 45 grams, and can support cameras weighing up to 11.5 ounces, or 326 grams. Measuring just under six inches in length, the Gorillapod fits easily into any purse, backpack, or even jacket pocket.

HOW BIG IS YOUR CAMERA? This is a great product, but if you buy one that's too weak to hold your camera's weight, you're going to be disappointed. The GP1 will hold up to 9.7 oz- basically your average small point-and-click digital camera only- think Elph. The GP2 will hold up to 1.75 lbs -smaller/lighter SLR cameras with short lenses only. The GP3 will hold up to 6.6 lbs and has a slightly larger camera attach point, similar to larger tripods -good for SLRs and smaller camcorders. Unless you want to spend 10-15 minutes fighting the gorilla to hold your camera without sagging (and forget about portrait/sideways shots), make sure you buy one that can support the weight! Otherwise it's tough to beat the versatility, reliability, and small size/weight of this tripod. From what I've seen of other reviews, you'll be disappointed with cheaper imitations as well.

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.

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!

Falls apart
Owned less than 5 months. Top popped off and then a leg. Only took it on a few trips. Not much wear and tear.

Weak, unstable for Canon PowerShot SX260 HS
I used this for my Canon PowerShot SX260 HS and it was too weak. It was hard to tell when it was level and if I finally did get it level it would fall over or tilt, etc. Read more

Light duty tripod that does what it is supposed to do, well.
For a very light camera, or in conjunction with a phone mount, this tripos works very well. It may seem ridiculous to carry a tripod that is larger than your phone, but if you... Read more

It does the work
I liked it, It's good for my iPhone, but from the pictures above I thought it is bigger than that.

Smart design!
I love the flexibility of my Gorillapod - it holds my point-and-shoot camera at an infinite number of strange angles and on a wide range of uneven surfaces. Read more

Nice idea with poor execution
This camera is described as able to hold a 9.7oz camera, but cannot hold its angle with my 7oz PowerShot s100. It does hold my friend's Elf just fine. Read more

Gorillapod
This is a great product, it attaches to many surfaces and it makes taking videos a lot easier. It is extremely compact so it is perfect to just throw in my backpack and head out.
