Summary: Awesome Product Keep Finding uses for it
Comment: Just got this as a gift from my Girlfriend for my birthday, what a cool gadget!!! I keep coming up with uses for it (like to mount my iPhone in the car so I Can see the screen while driving). Just a well made product as well, solid construction!

Summary: Legs work great, camera hold, not so much
Comment: 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.

Summary: Limited use but does work fairly well when needed
Comment: 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.

Summary: Gorillapod
Comment: 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.

Summary: Grips anything
Comment: 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!
