New SLR version:The new Gorillapod SLR is made to handle lightweight SLR-type cameras and camcorders weighing up to 1.75 lbs (800g).
New SLR Version for SLR cameras and camcorders
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.
Grip anywhere
Thanks to its ultra-bendy legs and flexible rotating joints, the sturdy Gorillapod is capable of stabilizing 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, banisters and bedknobs.
Compact
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 vacation 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
Now also available in blue!
Each compact Gorillapod comes complete with a tiny adaptor that screws on to your camera. Simply leave it in place and you can fit 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.
Most pro photographers we've spoken to (yes, it just so happens we know loads) think 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.

"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."

"Still the finest compact tripod...giving you a steady shot every time."

The Amazing Gorillapod
The gorilla pod is a very easyto use, this tri-pod can be used with any camera also It can stick to most surfaces. Sorrythat i could not make this video better i made it on my own so it was very hard to use 2 cameras at once.

I got this little gadget last year while in Australia. It was nearly double the price than Firebox and I have now bought 3 more as presents for friends and family.
It's such a great gadget! It's stable, surprisingly secure and will be the only tripod you will ever need again. It has a little clip on mechanism with lock so that you can quicly and easily attach and detach it from your camera.
It easily grabs hold of railings, tree branches or any uneven surface so that you can now be in every picture!
I've had mine for 6 months now and it has stood the test of time really well. I've used it in temperature ranges from +40 to -25 and its still as grippy and stable as ever. I've also used it with heavier SLR cameras and it still does a pretty good job of holding onto things sideways. I never take my camera anywhere without it!

I am very impressed with the Gorillapod, such a simple idea but fantastic design makes this vital equipment for the budding photographer. I also realised that you can use it as a head-cam (if you have a small enough head that is) and it stays stable in any position! Well worth the dosh.

I got this for Christmas 07 and it has been a couple of day and I am loving it!
Christmas day we could get the whole family in the photo because of this gadget!I even attached it to the curtain rail so we could get some interesting photos. One of the best gadgets ever. Recommend it to anyone. I am 15 and want to get into photography and I think this is one of the best presents I have had to do with photography. :).
