Legs work great, camera hold, not so much November 9, 2008 The legs work great and stay in place, however the camera mount constantly flops over, making the tri-pod rather useless without keeping a hand on the camera. From other good reviews, I'm thinking maybe I just got a fluke.
Limited use but does work fairly well when needed November 2, 2008 Easily adjustable, sturdy, amazing grip onto anything. Compact, light, good to carry for those strange times you want to make a tripod out of a tree, counter, chair...
Only problem is the screw lock loosens with the weight of my D700 and small lens. It needs to be not be able to rotate and the grip section against the camera needs to be tackier. Makes you plan tot set up better to avoid camera taking a slow downward turn while the 'pod hangs on just fine.
Gorillapod October 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great little gadget! Just make sure you unscrew the extra screw so it will fit straight onto your camera if the screw is too big. It has this extra screw that takes up extra space and you may have to remove it. I felt like an idiot when the camera store guy showed me this.
Grips anything October 24, 2008 I added posts (available in camera stores) to these gorilla pods and used them to hook pro strobes to temporary walls at a trade show. They worked great under considerable stress (walls being bumped often). Highly recommend them!
A Must For All Camera Buffs October 21, 2008 Easy to use, easy to carry around, light weight and the best part is that it puts you the camera person back into the picture no matter where you are! It is great.
