this unit (joby gp1-m1en gorillapod gogo flexible tripod with suction cup & 2 adhesive clips) is not going to hold your slr camera; it really won't even hold any but the smallest digital cameras.
i agree with other reviewers that it certainly does not provide the stability of a traditional tripod (with my digital slr,) but it allowed me to take a steady pic at a shutter speed of 5 this
i've had the joby gorillapod slr-zoom flexible tripod for about 3 weeks now an i must say: it is the most versatile tripod i've ever used!
excellent product for heavy slr cameras/lenses.
this model, the slr-zoom gorillapod, is designed without a quick release mount so you can use your own tripod head.
this tripod is the oddest,weird piece of camera equipment i have.i dont know how i got along without it!i will be buying the model for my slr.whoever came up with this....thank you.
i have had my gorillapod slr for only a couple of days and have used it just once.
my husband used it with his slr on a recent trip to paris and got some fabulous night shots.
the slr version of the gorillapod is tight enough to hold the camera steady, and i'm rapidly finding more ways and methods of using it.
i had an slr film camera with an old all-metal-and-glass 300mm lens without a support collar mounted on the monopod, and it worked pretty well, although i think that is kind of the limit for the ball
i normally keep my canon xti digital slr mounted on the monopod, to steady the camera for spur of the moment shots.
i have had some velbon tripods in my past 35mm slr life and found them to be relative well built.
dont buy this tripod if you are planning to use it w some heavy slr camera.
even though the manufacturer suggests not using this tripod for slrs, i have no problems using it with my cannon digital rebel slr, even with the 70-300mm telephoto.
but more importantly, i often don't want to advertise that i am carrying a slr by strapping a tripod to my bag or carrying it in my hand.
although it's only rated for compact digicams, it can hold my canon xti slr and 17-50 f/2.8 lens in place without much trouble.
this tripod is great for small digital cameras or even fair sized slr digitals like the canon rebel.
i use it with my canon digital slr.
use it for my rz, 4x5, seitz roundshot, xpan, and digital slr.
it is the first tripod i have owned that allows me to stand up straight and look through the viewfinder of my digital slr.
to support it, the slik pro 700dx amt-titanium alloy tripod is one you should definitely consider.i use mine with a 400mm f/2.8 lens mounted on a digital slr body which weighs a total of 14.5lbs.
i simply can't think of another tripod at twice the price that is built as tough, offers as many features, or anywhere near as much value as the 700dx for an slr shooter.
i have been using this monopod for about 8 months now with my digital slr, and i absolutely love it!
the canon monopod canon monopod 100 for slr cameras & lenseshas the right length, versatility (it has its own head), construction quality, and ease of use.
wasn't exactly what i needed but will be able to use it..canon monopod 100 for slr cameras & lenses
in retrospect, i wish i would have bought it as soon as i got my first slr.
canon monopod 100 for slr cameras & lenses
this tripod is lightweisght (compared to bogen) yet stable enough agains high wind and a 70-300 zoom lens with a medium size slr body.
overall this is an excellent tripod, great stability for small and medium slr's.
or buy a slik and get out there an tear up the landscape with your slr and your digital camera and take great pix.
his thing was the leica r4, if i remember correctly, while mine was the olympus om4 slr.
back in 1978 i bought a minolta xg9 slr, lenses, a ton of accessories, a cokin filter system, and a couple years later, the original slik u-212, the one with the green dial on side, not the later one
are you tiered of balancing your slr on a bag, sticks, or just the table for a long exposure?
when you have the extension on, and extended all the way out, the bogen-manfrotto is less sturdy with a slr with a heavy or long lense.
it is very sturdy and stable, easily handling an slr camera and lens.
i needed a nice, light tripod that would hold my digital slr, and this dolica one seems to do the job.
pros: it seems well-made and sturdy enough for a small slr with smaller lenses.
it is fairly light weight, easy to use, quick to setup, and it straps very nicely to my canon 100dg bag for canon slr cameras.
the manfrotto provides a rock solid base for my digital slr, giving me some of the best distance photos i've ever taken; without sacrificing comfort for utility.
i have not used it yet with an slr but imagine it would be equally suited for that.
all in all, highly recommended accessory for all compact slr and digicam users.
works great with my digital slr.
if you have an slr, why would you put a $1,000 camera on a $5 tripod?
and use them with minidv camcorder, my nikon d40 slr, and nikon s1 pocket camera.
i use it with digital slr and telephoto lens, external flash.
i always hated having my slr being screwed onto a tripod that could tip over at any time from my being clumsy.
i can use either my digital camera or my 35mm slr.
if you need a lighter, smaller tripod for travel or hiking, check out the velbon luxi which is 12" folded and weighs 1.6 lbs, or the gorillapod slr.
i am an enthusiastic amateur photographer who recently upgraded from a cheapie tripod to a professional setup with a nikon d90, nikon d90 12.3mp digital slr camera (body only) and several lenses,
it provides a great base for my digitial slr or my hdv.
also i use it for my old seagull df300 35mm slr professional camera (much heavy), it was stable under 50 inches height.
versatility for handling both digital and slr cameras weaknesses: 1.
it worked on my slr, point and shoot, and camcorder.
