Digital camera reviews of Joby GP3 Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod for Digital SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars

It's compact, flexible but firm, does just what it says. My only complaint is that it is barely not strong enough for my heaviest setup - a 900g camera with a long, 800g 100mm macro lens. It will sag if I try to use that (admittedly very heavy) combo at the full stand height (i.e. sitting it up on a table). If I bend the legs to get a shorter platform, it works fine though.
