Has anyone here used a Gorilla-pod? http://www.joby.com/ Are they as compact as they seem? Do they travel well? Do they really keep the camera still enough to obtain desired shots?
seems interesting... i suspect most of us here would need the gorilliapod slr zoom due to the weights of our cameras. i would love to see a review of this product.
i immediately thought about all those convenient lamp posts in mk, but i think in crowded night conditions the advantage would only go to the really tall, 6+ person to get it up high enough? looks really interesting but i too want to hear from someone who has actually used in the field gary
Speaking as a six foot plus person.. you have intruiged me. Just six foot three, but still that might be enough. I'll be on the look out for one of these. I have a nice compact tripod already, but I can see that the Gorilla pod might have some advantages.
It occured to me Imight find some reviews on Amazon.com, and I did! http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GP1-01P-Gori ... lectronics Page down and find 30 some odd reviews, I would still like to hear from any of you when and if you get one.
cute product for point and shoot but I'm seriously paranoid installing my 30D with 17-55 f/2.8 lens (relatively heavy) on the Gorilla Pod.
