Great tripod for small cameras and smartphones. I bought this as a tripod for my phone, and it works great for taking videos. I initially became aware of Joby Gorillapod tripods because Youtuber Casey Neistat uses one of the larger models. Thought I would try out this smaller, cheaper model; and I was very pleased!
Pros:
-Small and easy to take in backpack or daypack.
-Can be bent to work in a variety of situations.
-Can be wrapped around tree limbs, guard rails, poles, etc.
-Can also make a great monopod for selfies or to stabilize the camera/smartphone for shots.
-Great for time lapses or Casey Neistat type vlog shots.
Cons;
-Not able to hold up anything too heavy (I wouldn't recommend anything larger then a point and shoot or smartphone)
-Does not come with a phone mount (you can buy one of these for cheap tho) (I have a pink one as seen in the photos. I got it for $2.50 at walmart!)
Overall a very reliable and versatile tripod. It is always in my backpack for any time I want to get some cool vlog style shots or time lapses of my day to day actvities! It is not too expensive either! Very reasonable for what you get out of it!

I'm not sure how big of a difference there is between this flexible tripod and ones cheaper from China, but I made the decision to buy this one just to be safe.
Pro's
-It's flexible making it possible to wrap onto things and not worry about it falling
-Holds cell phones and light cameras without a problem.
-Has a quick release system that works well and I haven't had any problems with it so far.
Con's
-Doesn't hold much weight since it is so small, but I knew this when purchasing so it isn't much of a con and is just the only thing I could think of.
