I'm Surprised

9 years 5 months ago #411706 by Ruben H
3 months ago, my wife came home with this strange looking tripod called GorillaPod.  Because of it's size and frankly just how it looked, it was tough for me to take seriously.  I thanked her for it, but until this weekend, I never used.  I'm amazed this thing will hold my 5D with 24-70mm lens on it!  Talk about a super handy tripod! 

Good example of how not to judge a book by it's cover.

Got one of the older models and it's stays in my car.  It makes a great emergency tripod.

Although I don't use mine that often, I will agree that these are made very well and surprisingly will hold much more than you think

My only problem is that I would like to see these taller,  at least 2' tall would be great

I'm surprised too. I'm surprised you'd never heard of a GorillaPod before your wife got you one. :P

Yeah me too. Especially if you go to many forums, I think for a while I saw posts on that tripod a couple of times a month. Much like the three legged thing, and some of the other short supports.
