I absolutely love this tripod! It is wonderful for travel and everyday use. It is super durable- I've often wrapped it around rocks, trees, etc while in the field. Great option for those of us on the move!

Beefy and well constructed. Very compact, which makes for a great field unit. Easily holds D700 and 70-200mm f2.8 AFS-VR lens combo without hint of sagging.

Substantial construction makes this tripod an exceptional value. Couple it with a small ball head will make it an indispensable tool. Should provide years of excellent service.

Finally, A Gorilla Pod that holds something and is light weight. My D7 with a zoom does just fine on it. Great for travel. Finally I can leave the tripod home.
THANK YOU JOBY

Let's me get the camera low for better foregrounds.

Heavy duty enough to hold my T1i with a fairly heavy lens. Love how it fits in my camera bag, just twist it in to make it fit. Seems to grip around anything and hold steady.

This thing is a beast. Was a little unsure that it was strong enough for my camera, but it is great.

I bought this product to take trekking with me, I need everything to fit in my backpack and keep the weight down. The gorillapod is good for this purpose and certainly better than nothing but I wouldn't use it any other time. Not with my kit anyway I have a d700 and 24-70 & 70-200 f2.8 lenses. It does suffer the wobblies in even slight wind.

Use the tripod on hiking trips and it supports my Canon 40D with a large lens perfectly. Light, strong and compact!

I love having the stability this offers with my 40D. Very convenient! I use this it all the time.

I bought this to serve as an alternative to my regular tripod - great to set up on a tabletop.

excellent product; fun to invent new ways to use creatively; still seems pricey even with discount offered by Adorama

Excellent when an 'extra set of hands' is needed. Solid support.

This is tyyhe real thing for a Nikon D300 with a macro lens. THe legs stay put where you bend and place them. The next smaller Gorillapod (for 6.5 pounds) flat fell down - wouldn't hold the D300 in a steady position.

I wanted something to fit in a backpack (and didn't weigh me down) for long hikes that would enable me to take long exposure images (Nikon D90)once I conquered that mountain. The Joby was an excellent choice and I am very pleased. Very light and fits neatly in the top compartment of my Lowepro backpack. A great choice.

Very handy to set up when traveling for that quick shot. Doesn't 100% replace a tripod, but works very well in a pinch.

I shoot a travel show. I have to shoot fast, travel light, and carry all my gear with me everywhere. Weight, size & usefulness are big criteria for me. The Gorillapod Focus is unbeatable. It's my second pair of sticks, it never gets in the the way, and it always does an amazing job. I use it with my Canon 5d + battery grip + 70-200 lens for time lapse and I also use it with my Canon XHA1 video camera to get shots that I normally would have never dreamed possible. This little beast helps me be a more creative photographer, and that keeps getting me jobs. Well worth the investment.

Intended use for this gorillapod is important. I believe the reviewer above about how it might not hold a heavy video camera. However, when using the tripod for a heavy DSLR/lens combo the gorillapod works just fine. It is very stiff, very secure compared to the other gorillapods I have used: I have no qualms about setting this thing up anywhere/anyhow I want with my equipment on it. I use this for wandering around the city as an option for a long-exposure if I need it: it's weightless and you can attach it to any part of your bag/backpack and forget about it until you need it. If I were to go out for some dedicated long exposure shooting I would use something else. I use a manfrotto RC2 ball head for the gorillapod.

It works perfectly for what I got it for.

Really,really, bad. Do not consider any of these tripods for anything other than the cheapest P&Ss. They are delusional thinking this can hold up a video camera.
