Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey and Black)
Customer Review: The BEST purchase I have made for my camera.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Joby Gorillapod is by far, the best purchase I have ever made for my camera. It is a must have product for anyone who is serious about video and photography. The versatility of this product is nearly unmatched and the quality is leaps and bounds above competitors. The strong and stiff bendable joints coupled with the high quality rubber grips allow the user to place this tripod on nearly any surface imaginable. I know from experience and have tested the stability of this tripod on many surfaces such as uneven grass and soil, wrapped around branches, bedposts and arm rests and even on the side view mirror of my car and the tripod never failed to hold its grip. It is a must buy product and I cannot recommend it enough. You will not be disappointed.Customer Review: Easy to Use and Invaluable
Summary: 5 Stars
So many times I went out somewhere and wished I had a way to take a picture of myself in my new surroundings, have a group picture, or get the perfect shot without any movement by my part. Of course a tripod is the way to go but I hadn't heard about this. Looking for a new camera, I saw that others on Amazon had purchased this, liked the reviews, and thought I'd give it a shot.
I love it. I always take it on my important trips and it stays in my car for the rest of the time just to have it in case. The legs support the camera well once you adjust them and I've found numerous spots to wrap the legs around for just the right view. So much better than your traditional tripod if you're going out for fun and packing light.
Customer Review: A little thing which will make a big difference in your pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
Tripod shooting often seems to differentiate snapshooters from "real" photographers, but that's because a tripod can make a big difference in the quality of your photos, especially at a slow shutter speed or large f-stop. Now you can have a small, cheap, versatile tripod to carry everywhere along with your little digital camera.
The most time consuming aspect of using the tripod is attaching it, so the Gorillapod comes with a little clip which attaches to the bottom of the camera, and from which it is easily detached. Perhaps the best part is that Joby sells extra clips (at Amazon they're 2/$5.) so if you have more than one little camera, like most of us do, they can all be ready for the Gorillapod.
Customer Review: Use this tripod to take photos anywhere!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I use our gorillapod constantly to set up self-timer photos in unusual settings and where no one else is around. I.e., perched on a rock near waterfalls, wrapped around metal poles or tree branches, propped on the hood of our Jeep. This is a must-have if you like to take photos outside and stray from common tourist destinations. It works great for small and mid-size cameras. I'm not sure it would support the weight of a larger model. The legs are fully adjustable and the top swivels up and down which allows various photo angles. It's about 8 inches long and folds up slim which makes it easy to pack. I have also bought gorillapods for 2 family members already and we all love them.Customer Review: How did I ever live without my SLR Zoom Gorillapod???
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is AMAZING! One thing that no one has touched on is that this little pod will help you steady your SLR with heavy zoom lens against your body giving you less camera shake if you're taking a picture hand held. I simply turn two of the legs into my body and shoot away. Amazing! I only have one complaint...THAT I WASN'T THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS LITTLE GEM OF A TRIPOD! Oh, holds my Canon Rebel XTI with EF-S 1.4-5.6 IS 70 - 300 zoom lens and 430 EX II Speedlight securely (total weight a bit over 5.5 pounds). I've not used the Joby ball head, although I did just order one and am looking forward to using it.
Love this Creature...you've GOTTA get one, really!
