Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Joby GP1 Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Blue)
Customer Review: great for hiking, foot has a little wiggle room
Summary: 4 Stars
I have done a fair amount of hiking and backpacking with my Canon sx120 and an old film SLR. In the past I have used rocks and whatever I was carrying to build a stand for my camera. I also own an Eddie Bauer portable tripod with a strap for attaching it to trees etc, but I never found it any more useful than my lumber pack for holding up a camera on uneven ground. The Gorillapod will hold the camera to a wide variety of surfaces if you practice a little. The legs need an angle that helps them gain friction, not just warped around things, but I've stuck it to a doorknob, door jam, metal hand rails (important to get friction or it will spin) and many other things. It's only limitation so far has been it's size, and I imagine the SLR version would wrap around things better, but this is enough. I'm so used to just using "stuff" to support my camera that occasionally using things to help the gorillapod isn't an issue. What does bother me is the removable foot. The foot is designed to allow the camera to quick release and is a nice design feature, but i'm tempted to glue it in place. It has the slightest little wobble and would interfere with any longer exposures. It probably doesn't wiggle as much as holding it by hand, but pressing the button makes it wiggle in it's foot. I've found a 2 sec delay solves the issue for my uses, but it's an occasional pain to watch the tripod wiggle. Although it's a pain to straighten it's stiffness keeps it supportive at odd angles and it's a great little pod. By far the best for it's size. I like the idea of the removable foot and ability to buy other feet/stick-ons, but it's wiggle is making this a 4 star product.
