Digital camera reviews of Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey and Black)
Digital camera Review: Best Tripod Innovation
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are thinking of Tripods... Think of Grillapod, It gives all the conivinence of a Tripod and adds it's own such as flexible legs, flexible head and so on... you will love this little guy for sure...
Warning: This model is only for the sleek cameras, if yours is an SLR or a Canon A series camera... go for the SLR version of Gorillapod.
Digital camera Review: Best Urban Tripod, and travel
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great Tripod, easy to use, and opens up a world of new camera placement options. You can hook it to a tree, a railing, park bench top, street signs, and many more to create the right angle for a picture. In high wind you can squat the legs low for stability. Over time the links loosen up, and aren't so strong at keeping a final position. The camera quick release clip, and locking mechanism work great - but over time I don't use the quick release. Instead I screw and unscrew the base.Digital camera Review: Best tripod I have ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
For years now we have struggled at family Christmases, Thanksgiving, birthdays, and more to get a group picture with a digital camera. We would stack chairs and books to get the camera at the right height and to make sure it was tilted just right. Then to have to press the timer switch on and try not to bump what we had set up to run into the picture before the flash. I wish I had thought of this!
This flexible tripod is amazing. We still need to use a chair here and there, but it is only to use the chair's back to wrap the Gorillapod's legs around.
It is very sturdy! It is also very easy to set the timer on the camera. You can press the buttons and the tripod doesn't move from where you placed it. Amazing!
The initial set up is simple too. Just a universal screw to the tripod spot on the bottom of my camera. Comes off easy too when you want to pack everything up. The tripod folds together and is no bigger than a traveling toothbrush holder (just shorter).
I couldn't decide which color I liked best, but in the end the grey looks best with my camera...I have a Powershot.
I would recommend this to anyone who has a digital camera.
Digital camera Review: Best tripod on the market!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I still can't believe that this thing is real! And I'm blown away by the quality of the tripod.
The 'legs' are stiff enought that it doesn't fall out of shape as it holds the camera. Each little grey ring around the ball-like pieces are rubberized to help it grip onto objects. I have been able to mount my Canon SD600 and hold one 'foot' of the tripod while it remains in the shape I bent it into. The leg didn't change shape or sag at all.
I've had it on top of my LCD, hung it from a doorway, sitting on top of a lamp... I think the legs are long enough and the feet are 'grippy' enough to mount it to the side of a bowling ball!
The clip on top lets you mount and dismount the camera quite easily and without hassle. The only problem I could see is that with the mounting clip attached to the camera I can't put the camera in the fitted Canon carrying case that I have for the SD600. Well, it fits with it on, but very snug.
I can't stress how much I love this little tripod!! Get one; you won't be disappointed!
