Gorillapod

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.

Gorillapod

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.

Gorillapod

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

Gorillapod

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.

press review "Never run out of juice for your laptop.."
Sunday Express - Sep '09
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 Reviews...

visitor avatar It's a fantastic little gadget, I can't fault it at all! I can't believe how strong it is either! I purchased the SLR version and it was worth the £39. 95 I paid. Now I can use the Gorillapod this weekend at one of the LANs (computer gaming events) I go to. Fantastic! Thanks Firebox!
Lee, Reading - Dec '08
Firebox says: Excellent, go 'ape' at your LAN events! (Sorry that was shocking!)

visitor avatar 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!

visitor avatar Fantastic product. Bought it on Tuesday, arrived Wednesday morning. Brilliant service and a really handy little product. I'm going to be spending the weekend dreaming up lots of new locations to be able to take photos... might even risk hanging the camera over the balcony, I'm sure the Gorilla Pod can cope! Thanks Firebox!
Jason, Birmingham, UK - Aug '08
visitor avatar 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.
Callum Abbott, Herts - May '07
visitor avatar Absolutly fantastic gadget got the SLR one for my birthday but the picture on the back was of a Nikon camera with a huge lens but with only 800g max this seems optimistic as my Nikon SLR weighs over 2KG and its got a smaller lens.
Grantie, Berkhamsted - Nov '09
visitor avatar Will this work with an action camera? How?
Bhaskar, Oxfordshire - Jul '09
Firebox says: If you wanted it to, yes, just mount the camera on like you would any other...

visitor avatar Is this sturdy enough to use on a boat?
Scott, - May '09
Firebox says: Hi Scott, we'd recommend you use the bendy legs to affix the Gorillapod to a sturdy part of the boat rather than setting it on a deck - we wouldn't want you to lose your camera if the water gets a bit choppy!

visitor avatar Thank you so much firebox when I got it in a very nice box and inside with a candy and the gorillapod thank you so much best website ever great products!
Nasir, London - Jan '09
visitor avatar 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. :).
