Great Minipod, but mounting could be Improved2009-04-23
Pod works great, good for propping against rocks and trees,very stiff stays in place well . However screw mount needs much improvement . A very good pod to take along on hikes and had to get to areas like rocks and uneven terrains .
Finally, a Gorillapod that will hold up my camera - usually2009-04-03
Gorillapods are great, but you need one thats one-model stiffer than what Joby says. For example, get this one if you have a D300, and dont expect it to hold it up very well with a 600mm/2.8 lens on it. But it will hold it up with medium size lenses. My previous one, one model down, was not strong enough for me to be comfortable putting a D300 on with anything heavier than the 18-200 mounted. Just be careful - its easy to dump your camera with this thing if you're not.
Tripod Missing Three Legs2009-01-27
Sadly, It's been over a month, and still no Gorillapod. Perhaps I should tie a banana to the mailbox? Picture on the website sure looks cool, though!!
Current Reviews are not for Gorillapod Focus2009-01-09
FYI, all these reviews are not this model. The Gorillapod Focus has just recently been released. This is the pro model for pro cameras with long lens and holds up to 11 lbs. I have not tried this or any other model, but only noticed these are not reviews for this model. (Please disregard my rating as Amazon would not let me post without giving one.)
Awesome tripod for SLR cameras2009-01-02
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2003A56BA7LHM The gorillapod foucs is a great tripod for slr owner's with large zoom lens. I use a Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only) and have a Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens attached to it. Even with the lens fully extended the camera doesn't shake or drop down. The tripod is also very light weight which makes it ideal for travel.
The only CON of the product is that the legs are a bit stiff and makes it a bit hard to wrap the legs around an structure. If you can live with that this is the best travel tripod for slr users
