Small and compact, take it anywhere

Just when you thought the world of photography couldn't throw up any more incredible innovations, along comes a tripod that makes conventional three-legged supports seem as practical as telescopic turnips.

The Gorillapod might sound like some kind of simian seedling, and it looks like one of those thingies from War of the Worlds, but it is actually an amazingly flexible little tripod that will support your camera virtually anywhere.

Thanks to its ultra-bendy legs and flexible rotating joints, the sturdy Gorillapod is capable of stabilising a camera on all kinds of uneven surfaces - sand, rock, whatever. It will also cling to nigh on anything you'd care to think of - from branches and chair legs to railings, bannisters and bedknobs.

available in blue too!

Pop a Gorillapod in your pocket and positioning your camera takes seconds not minutes. This go-anywhere companion is so versatile it can even be wangled into tight, awkward spaces. Take a Gorillapod on holiday and you'll wonder how you ever managed without one - impossible angles suddenly become possible and 'how did he do that?' shots are a doddle.

Each compact Gorillapod comes complete with a tiny adaptor that screws on to your camera. Simply leave it in place and you can slot your camera onto the Gorillipod in a flash. Convenient? It's like having a pocket-sized photographic assistant/contortionist at your beck and call 24/7.

wrap it to anywhere

Wrap it around anywhere

Most pro photographers we've spoken to (yes, it just so happens we know loads) reckon the Gorillapod is a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to get the most out of their camera. And unless you're some kind of weirdo technophobe, that means you. So stop monkeying around and strike a pose, any pose, with a Gorillapod.

Press Reviews...

press review "Camera tripods are so 19th century. They're fine if you want a straight-on shot and you're shooting on level ground but, you have to admit, the tripod is somewhat limiting. Now, along comes the multi-jointed simian tripod, otherwise known as the Gorillapod, to take over where the tripod left off more than 100 years ago. With simian agility the Gorilla pod can wrap its three legs around anything to steady your camera, wherever you are. It can take on small tree branch, a chair leg (for pet photography), a stair bannister...it can even stand your camera straight on an uneven surface. The Gorillapod will be your photos' best friend, enabling the steadiest shots you could not match with your own shaky hands. You can roll up your Gorillapod and pop him in your pocket, or snuggle him into your camera case. (Don't forget your remote!)"
Inventor Spot - May '09
press review "Standing your camera on an uneven surface isn't always possible. However, the Gorillapod is a great solution"
TimeOut - May '09
press review "Bend it, twist it and fix it to any awkward surface. So much more flexible than a tripod and just as stable, the Gorillapod works with all cameras."
Saga - Feb '08
press review "Still the finest compact tripod...giving you a steady shot every time."

visitor avatar Hi guys, This is seriously clever piece of kit. If you are an amateur, pro or just really like snapping away, this is a godsend!
Matthew Field, Milton Keynes - 4th January 2012
visitor avatar Can you make it longer or smaller ? because im getting a camera soon and I want to bye this.
Phoebe, London - 27th December 2011
Firebox says: Hi, the tallest this will do from a platform or object is 15 cm, you can reduc it by bending the legs or putting it onto something taller or shorter!
visitor avatar Hi I have the olympus pen epl1, would the gorillapod be suitable for this, or would I need to track down the slr version? Thanks.
Beth, England - 22nd December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Beth, depending how big the lens is that you're using, the standard Gorillapod should be fine. If it's a large/heavy lens it's probably best you opt for the SLR version. Happy shooting.
visitor avatar I have just purchased a Lomography Sprocket Rocket camera and am now looking for a decent tripod. Just wondering if you know if the Gorillapod would fit this? Thanks!
Rory O' Donnell, Derry - 30th November 2011
Firebox says: Having just spoken to my friends at "Have You Seen Bob?", probably the coolest community based photography and lomography project ever to grace the planet ( http://www.facebook.com/haveyouseenbob ), I can indeed confirm that the Gorillapod is indeed capable of handling a Lomo Sprocket Rocket!
visitor avatar Hi, saw this gadget on discovery channel. Have a canon rebel and was wondering if the Gorillapod SLR will actually be suitable. Also do you by any chance ship to Cyprus??
Marianna, Cyprus (Europe) - 9th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi Marianna, we can assure you that the Gorillapod SLR is the perfect accessory for a DSLR and it will work well with any camera in the Rebel range. We do indeed ship to Cyprus, you can find our shipping rates by placing the order and selecting 'Cyprus' from the 'Country' drop down list.
visitor avatar Love this little product, will be an excellent birthday present for someone for whom I never know what to buy. Thanks for sending it so fast too...slightly disappointed I didn't get any sweets this time sadly this is something I look forward to when making a firebox purchase :-(.
Kate, Lincolnshire - 25th September 2011
Firebox says: Sorry about that Kate, a minor oversight, promise!
visitor avatar Would they work with a flip mino hd?
Ethan, Hartlepool - 18th August 2011
Firebox says: It has a tripod mount, so yes it will!
visitor avatar Hi, I was wondering if I could buy a SLR Gorillapod and use it with both my compact and my SLR cameras. Will both types of camera fit in the SLR version or do I need to buy one for each? Thank-you!
Clara, Barcelona - 27th July 2011
Firebox says: You should be able to use it with both Clara, the connection is the same.
visitor avatar I know this is a VERY stupid question but could this be used as an action figure.
Connor, Wales - 6th May 2011
Firebox says: We see no reason why not.
visitor avatar Hi, I've got an Fujifilm Finepix HS10. It weighs 740g with batteries, but it has a long zoom lens. Will the Gorillapod SLR be suitable, do you think?
Matt, Milton Keynes - 29th April 2011
Firebox says: Its definitely the right model for your camera Matt, however the long zoom may require some clever setup, just to avoid overbalancing.
