Gorillapods are great, but you need one thats one-model stiffer than what Joby says. For example, get this one if you have a D300, and dont expect it to hold it up very well with a 600mm/2.8 lens on it. from Amazon.com This is a really handy tripod. Holds my camera in many positions and hangs on to all kinds of things. from Amazon.com Works great you can attach gorillapod to any surface or object securely. Handy when hiking can slip through camera bag strap and weighs next to nothing. from Amazon.com The Gorillapod is a great accessory for my Canon point and shoot, my Flip Mino and my iPod touch. Highly recommend it. from Amazon.com My husband was thrilled when he opened his Valentine gifts: a Joby Gorillapod, a traditional tripod and a remote release for his new digital SLR. The only reason I didn't give the Gorillapod 5 stars is we haven't yet gone into the field to use it. from Amazon.com If you've got a point and click, this thing is fantastic, however SLR's or even anything close to the weight of an SLR will cause this to shake like a leaf on a tree. I have a Canon SX10 IS (big body, but not SLR) and find myself having to use the 10 second timer to get a still shot. from Amazon.com I bought this for my daughter for her birthday to use with her digital camera and it has worked out great. It can be set to grab onto just about anything, making placement of your camera easy so that you can get in the picture. from Amazon.com the nob on the hotshoe is very stiff and difficult to fasten/unfasten and I ended up breaking it trying the unlock it. If you are thinking to have one for you SLR Camera then DON'T even the larger one is not reliable enough to risk putting your camera on awkward sort of position. from Amazon.com While this model is a little bigger than I thought it would be, I love it! I feel it will definitely hold up to the different positions I may need to put it into to wrap it around things, etc. It will hold both my Sony Cybershot digital camera as well as the Panasonic video camera. from Amazon.com I don't understand why it seems like reviews for every Gorillapod model is here. Maybe Amazon is lumping them all together? from Amazon.com
