Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey and Black)
Customer Review: Great Product !
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. I am always the one behind the camera, and I never have pictures of myself. If I do get a picture of myself, my arm is in the picture and you can tell I am holding the camera. With this new tripod, I can just sit it on the table, or latch it to a chair and tree, and I am in the photo and it looks like someone is taking the picture! Its a great tool for anyone who loves to me in their own pictures. Its fun, and easy to use. The only problem I had with it, was that my first one broke, and I had to buy a new one. What happened was the neck broke. Each little ball is like a joint. If you put too much pressure on it, like when your bending it into a position, it could snap. Mine, I guess snapped. I was so upset, that I went out to buy a new one. Its a great product, but be careful with it if you purchase it. I highly recomend it, but I advise you to take good care of it. And if your friends or family are looking at it, make sure to tell them it can break easily.Customer Review: Great product - and wonderful gift idea for anyone with a camera

I purchased the smaller Gorillapod (for a personal digital camera) as a gift for my fiance and it was a hit. I have seen others use them at weddings, and other events, and thought it would come in handy. It folds to be very slim and can fit in a camera bag or elsewhere very easily. There's almost nothing it can't grab onto, so you can make a straight shot from a tree branch, lighting fixture, you name it. Or, just balance on a table like a regular tripod. unfortunately, it still means you have to use your camera's self timer, but it makes it much easier to take great photos without one person missing. It's a help when recording videos. Highly recommend. It's also perfect for traveling, as its easy to pack in almost anywhere. Several friends and family members who have seen us use it have since made purchases, it's just that type of gadget! The gorillapod is very functional, and is a worthwhile purchase for either yourself or as a gift for those hard to buy for types.Customer Review: The Best Investment Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The Gorilla is one of the best investment I have ever done. I bought it to use it in my honeymoon.
I just returned from my honeymoon and I really enjoyed taking pictures using the Gorilla. It allowed great versatile positions to put the camera. It was not only great for the pictures taking at a significant distance, but also for the pictures I take myself, with my hand, to myself or my husband and I together. It helped me to give the picture a nice perspective and distance from our faces and the background.
We carried it everywhere in a small or medium size bag. We used it everywhere: rocks, floor, tables, sticks, rails, and more.
Also, my father-in-law was so amazed with the Gorilla that he bought it as a gift for a friend. I think it could be a great and cheap gift for anyone who takes digital picture for fun.
I hope this review is helpful to convince you to buy this great camera holder :)

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.Customer Review: Don't waste another moment - buy a Gorillapod right now!
Summary: 5 Stars
This flexible little tripod is a wonder. The legs stand up or wrap firmly around objects. There are three different models, each for a different weight camera: make sure you get the appropriate weight. The largest requires that you add your own ball head.
These gadgets are absolutely terrific. You will truly wonder how you ever got along without one. Whether you use it to take pictures of yourself with a self-timer, as a way to get long exposures or whatever, you'll marvel at the cleverness of the design. They sell accessory shoes so you can use them handily with more than one camera. There's also an accessory shoe available to hold electronic flash units.
Finally the Gorillapod is also fun to play with it. But be careful: show it to a little kid and you may wind up without it or having to buy another.
