Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Joby GP1-EYEN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Yellow)Customer Review: Super cool and very handy Summary: 5 Stars
I initially bought one of these as a gift for my mom, but immediately purchased one for myself after playing with it for a few minutes.
This is a great product. It's handy for use as a standard tripod, but invaluable for taking taking timer shots of yourself or your group. It does exactly what the manufacturer says it does, and does it well.
It does not fold down as small as a telescoping mini tripod, but it makes up for a little extra bulk by being much more flexible (haha) than other tripods. Many of the best shots from our last vacation were possible by wrapping this thing around a tree or fencepost. Try that with an aluminum tripod.
The manufacture of this product seems to be of high quality. It feels solid and well-constructed. The joints on the bendy legs of the tripod are firm, but not stiff, making the tripod easy to manipulate, but staying firmly in place once set up. Once you wrap it around a tree limb, you don't feel like it's going to drop your expensive camera to the ground while you step away to pose for your shot.
The only downside I have found so far occurs if your camera's tripod mount is well off-center of your camera, although this is likely a problem for *any* mini tripod, creating a balance problem. The tripod is still functional, but it takes a bit more care to ensure that the tripod is well balanced.
As an aside, this thing is just plain fun to play with. It reminds me of those little bendy toy figures we used to play with as kids.

# Gorilla Fun! 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. Say goodbye to holding your camera at arm's length to take a photo of yourself and your friends--now you can be free to pose however you like! Durable and innovative, the Gorillapod weighs just 1.6 ounces, or 45 grams, and can support cameras weighing up to 12.5 ounces, or 335 grams. Measuring just under six inches in length, the Gorillapod fits easily into any purse, backpack, or even jacket pocket.
