Joby GP3 Gorillapod a great fit for digital cameras |
|
I bought this for my husband after my brother-in-law recommended it. He has one and it worked great at Christmas for taking timed pictures that included all of us. It is sturdy and can withstand the weight of a digital SLR camera with interchangeable lenses. He has not actually used it yet but based on using the one my brother-in-law had, I know it will be just the thing for him to take time lapse pictures and anytime he needs the camera to be very still. |

Now I know what to use it for |

I remember seeing these tripods a few years ago and wondering why something like this would ever be useful. Then, the other day, I realized I needed some way to attach a video camera to the forward hand-guard and barrel of my rifle (for some action shooting footage). Probably not many people have this need, but this Gorilla pod works great for this purpose. One minor complaint is the head. As others have mentioned, it's kind of inconvenient to have to whip out a screwdriver or coin to really tighten the mounting screw, but it's needed to get the camera on tight. |

Self limited construcion |
|
By the time this thing is mounted with a Manfroto ball joint head and a DSRL with a mid-sized lens, the resistance of the joints cannot hold the wight and they buckle. However, if they were to construct the joints with such stiff resistance, as to hold all that weight, they would be so difficult to bend and maneuver into the desired shape, that its use would become impractical as well. The design is a nice idea, but self-limited and really only useful for light-weight pocket sized cameras. |

The tripod was a gift so my son would have to really review the product. The thing that I didn't like was the price that I had to pay for shipping and handling. I was supposed to have shipping and handling free. Instead it cost me $20.00 which was later lower to #$10.00 I was not happy about this as I thought the cost was zero. I checked the cost of sending the tripod at a faster rate so it would get to my son before Christmas. When I found that it cost $20.00 I decided to take my chances and not pay the extra money. I wanted free handling and shipping. When I went back to the original page I thought that I was getting Handling and Shipping free. I would have not purchased the product if I had to pay any shipping and handling. I won't be getting anything from Prophotosales from now on. |
