It did not work as a thought. I have Canon DSLR with EF 24-70 L lense, it is too heavy for this tripod. maybe it will be good for lighter Cameras

This holds my D70 with 18-200VR lens just fine when set up like a regular tripod. I have not used it with the legs wrapped around an object.

Several joints were cracked so the unit would not hold a Canon Rebel XTi with a standard lens. This was a brand new item, so I suspect the reliability is questionable at best after some usage. Mine went back to the store.

The gorillapod has everything going for it except one glaring problem: A tripod is supposed to stabilize the camera, and the Gorillapod fails in this respect because even the smallest and lightest cameras vibrate and shake so badly after you take your hands off of the camera, that pictures turn out blurred. The problem is that the Gorillapod is made out of plastic and it is not stiff enough to prevent camera vibration, instead, it amplifies it and makes it worse. The only way to use the Gorillapod is with a 10 second timer to allow the vibrations to settle out…Nice try, but I’ll stick with my miniature collapsible metal tripod….

I have a smaller Gorillapod that I love—but for some reason, they cut corners and didn’t put a quick release mount on this one. Not having a quick release for a small tripod really limits the utility. I’m very disappointed in what would otherwise be a great product.
