Joby GP1-EBEN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Blue): Customer Reviews & Product Details

This tripod WILL break. They last about two years, maybe a little more and then break. Specifically, a break will occur between the top two nodes and the point where the three legs come together near to the top. Not wanting to be on a gorilla pod "subscription" i'm seeking out something different. I get so tired of how stuff is made these days.

This tripod is excellent for amature and professional photographers alike. Makes an excellent companion on international trips and video blogging. I have used this product to get some really wonderful shots.

smart design for a very useful product.
portable, functional, well made, worth the $.

I love this thing. I've been able to take pictures in situations that would never have worked before.

I rated this a 4 instead of 5 only because the tripod was broke when I received it. The ring used to lock the quick release was broke in two pieces. I know I could have returned it to be replaced, but then I wouldn't of had it for my vacation. As for the actual product I think you would be hard pressed to find a better tripod. There is nothing that this thing can't grip to, and it has no problems holding my PowerShot. I would hate to go without it now.
