Gorillapod: "A" for Convenience
04/30/09 13:22 Filed in: Photography
I recently picked up a Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM from Joby. It is a very easy-to-use tripod that attaches to any standard SLR cameras, video cameras, or even your own tripod head. The Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM can support up to six pounds, while still maintaining its compact size. It costs about $50 dollars.
The cool thing about the Gorillapod is that you can wrap the legs around just about anything. So if you are on a photowalk, just attach it to a fence and get in that picture. Also, you can add accessories to the it such as a tripod head or a flash attachment.
I have paired this with a Manfrotto 484RC2 Mini-ball Head (Retail - $60) and now have a very portable tripod. It is also great for shots around the house. Highly recommended.
