One reviewer said it was really hard to move the tripod legs to wrap it around things. I have fine motor skill issues and i have had little trouble in manipulating the legs it does take a little effort sometimes but i had no problems with it.
Great for anyone with a smaller camera i use it mostly for video but i suppose with the 30 second timer you can easily use it for self pictures as well :-).
a simply must have!
It does have a small detachable piece which can attach to the bottom of the camera for quickmount, but I find if I leave that on, unless I'm using the tripod frequently, it causes me more problems slipping the camera into it's case which I wear on my belt. But for brief videos or group shots, it's invaluable. The flexibility of the legs allow you to position it at almost any angle, or even wrap it around something.
For the price, I'd highly recommend it. Caution should be noted for heavy cameras - this isn't for you.
The Gorillapod is a small, compact, plastic tripod that doesn't look like much when you first take it out of the box, but has actually proven to be quite sturdy. It easily supports my little Nikon Coolpix camera with no problem at all. The tripod legs are bendable, and you can wind them around just about anything to capture that perfect shot, whether it's a chair, a tree branch, a flag pole...ANYTHING! The Gorillapod screws securely into your camera, so you don't have to worry about any instability issues. It also comes in multiple colors (mine is PINK!) and is small enough to tuck in your purse or jacket pocket. I cannot wait to take this with me on upcoming vacations. We will easily be able to take couple shots in front of famous landmarks without having to stop and ask strangers to take our picture all the time.
Bottom line? RUN, do not walk, over to your wallet, take out your credit card, and order the Gorillapod on Amazon today!!!
I ordered an extra shoe so we can transfer the gorillapod from her camera to mine. If you're in the market for a new camera, try and get one with the tripod mounting shoe somewhat centrally located on the bottom of the camera. My fiance's camera has the tripod mount on one side so the camera wants to lean to the other side. Fortunately, the gorillapod is strong enough to resist this.
