Joby GP1-OGEN Gorillapod

$21.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is a great product, there is always a place you can put this tripod on to take a great picture.
from www.amazon.com
for example, the very first time we used it was to take a group skiing picture by placing the tripod on a ski slope!
from www.amazon.com
i connected this tripod to a canon powershot sd750, and proceeded to wrap it around a chair leg to take a picture.
from www.amazon.com
slight con: there is a piece that you screw your camera onto that slides off of the tripod--it is normally locked into place, and i haven't had any problems when taking pictures.
from www.amazon.com
it makes taking still pictures so much easier than holding a camera in your hand, and it is much more versatile than a normal tripod.
