Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey and Black)
Customer Review: Fun little Tripod and very well made!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product and a lot of fun to use and very cute to carry around. This little guy is very well made and works well and as described. This be easily installed on most any small digital camera for steady shot, self portraits and so forth. The Gorillapod is easy to bend and wrap around things and attach to posts, fences etc for unique and interesting shots. You can also leave the attachment plate on the camera and side the legs on and off with ease for complete versatility and fun. I haven't tried the competing products but I would definitely buy this cute little tripod again and I do recommend it.Customer Review: very useful

Review for the GP1 (the small one)
It's a lot smaller and lighter than I expected. It holds my Canon SD800 and S90 securely. I've only had it a couple weeks, but I wonder if these joints will loosen over time? The piece that attaches to the camera is small and can be left on the camera without increasing the camera's size much. This tripod vibrates a lot when you press the shutter so you almost always have to use the 10 second timer on the camera. I would recommend playing around with it at home to figure out the best way to attach it to things before going out somewhere with it.
Customer Review: Terrific tripod
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this for a while, and love it. It's small and light enough so I can carry it in my bag, and even stick it in a jacket or pants pocket. Still, in low light it provides enough stability to get great pictures with my little camera (a Canon PowerShot SD630 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom).
Update 2010: I've bought two of these now, and don't travel without one. The first one lasted for a couple years' travel on five continents; the newer model works just as well.
Customer Review: Better than expected!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love, love, love it! Purchased to use it with my FlipMinoHD. It's perfect. Tried wrapping around several things when I first opened the package and it works like a charm on anything. I hooked it on to the back of our bar stool, onto a street post, and then stood it up it different positions. Very easy to use, and really helpful when you need your hands free to video tape the kids. I could see using it with your digi cam as well during travels and group shots but haven't yet. Either way, this is the way to go if you are looking for a tripod. Glad I stumbled upon it on Amazon. Seriously neat!Customer Review: best in class
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered both this and the Vanguard VS41 from amazon, and while the vanguard flexible mini tripod is a great product for its pricepoint, it's the gorillapod that's more functional, and is actually able to be bent alot, and grip onto things properly. It's made out of plastic, the only rubber on it are the gray parts. It's of decent build quality, but doesnt come with directions, make sure you push the joby icon in to release the pod mount(also switch the base to the unlocked position). There's not need to get a second mounting clip, they're just a small piece of plastic with a screw.
