Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Joby GP1 Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Blue)Customer Review: The Perfect Tripod Summary: 5 Stars
This tripod is one of the most handy tripod I know of. Don't let it's short stature of only a foot tall fool you, the idea with this tripod is not to just stand it up like a normal tripod (it can do that too), it's to be able to attach it to pretty much anything. It's also highly portable and light in weight.
Those ball-legs with colored rings are actually ball joints with rubber rings. They are very bendable and stiff (DO NOT LUBE THEM! They are supposed to be stiff). If the legs can wrap around something tightly, you can hang the camera there and it will stay there. Because of that, it can sit or stand in places that a normal tripod cannot be. About the only thing that it'll have trouble with is wide open areas with nothing to sit it on since it's very short and couldn't film something, say eye-level, on it's own. But how often is there absolutely nothing around you?
The only catch with this thing is that you MUST buy the one you need for your camera/ camcorder. Why? Well, they can only support so much weight before they start to sag downwards and give under the weight. But, if you buy the one you need for the camera's weight, you can hang your camcorder with no sagging at all, even sideways where the camera has weight leverage or upside down. This one in particular was designed for pocket cameras and camcorders.
