I had purchased a Gorillapod knock-off a few years back. The real Joby Gorillapod is much lighter, bends into tighter curves, and is much better made than the impostors. This is so light and small I leave it in my work bag all the time. I use at least weekly with my digital point-and-shoot. Now, if I only had a super lightweight iPhone camera mount!

I bought this as a gift to my wife. I was worried when I fist bought it that it wouldn't hold our camera up, because we have quite a big, heavy camera. But it held it up just fine. the tripod is good because to can put it on prety much anything because the legs hug the object. You could even hang it upside down. it's a tripod for travel because it's light and if fits right in your pocket. Highly recomend it. The only thing with our camera is that you have to make sure it will stay loked in one place and not swing foward or backwards on the top part of the tripod.

This little tripod is great! It's small so it won't fit around most tree trunks, but it easily fits around tree limbs and most other railings and polls. This tripod was essential to some of my favorite pictures from my honeymoon. I set this up all over the Missouri and the Bowfin while I was at Pearl Harbor and with the camera on self timer, took some really cool shots. The clip-on/clip-out camera mount also made things really easy to set up. I leave the mount on my camera all the time because it's so small and unobtrusive and then clip it into the tripod when I need to. And the mount locks into the tripod too to add that extra little bit of security.

Overall I can't recommend this, and I'm sure all other Gorillapods, enough!

YOU CANT PUT THIS TRIPOD EVERYWHERE! Don't trash your camera on the rocks, trees or placing it in some dangerous place. You can cary this tripod in your pocket, it's strong, very flexible and helpful!

No this is not a dog, it's a cool little tripod. Emphasis on the little, as the picture is slightly deceiving. Still the perfect item for backpackers and hikers as a lightweight addition to their photography satchel. Works as designed.

I've used this baby for both my point & shoot still camera, and my SD card video camera. It works great for both!

The tri-pod is small enough to fit in your pocket (if you have big pockets...like in a coat) or in your purse.

I've used it many times, and the legs still bend easily and hold their position firmly. You can even use it to hang the camera upside down (from a tree limb or something like that) if you can't find anything else to attach it too!

All in all, a very handle little device for the average amateur photographer.

Good product. Very light, fits in pants pocket so you can take it everywhere. Not great if you don't have anything to wrap it around like a tree limb or post since it's too short to place on the ground. I have a telescoping tripod that I bought years ago for that purpose. That one shortens to 8 inches but heavy as heck.
