Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Gorillapod SLR-Zoom is a new heavy-duty grippable tripod, designed with the serious photographer in mind. It attaches to SLRs (with zoom lenses), video cameras, and your own tripod head, and can support a whopping 6.6 pounds (3kg).

The Gorillapod firmly secures your camera to just about anything - anywhere and everywhere! Unlike traditional tripods, the gorillapod doesn't require an elevated surface for you to take the perfect shot.

It wraps around posts, trees, and railings, even sides of rocks, to form a stable anchor for compact cameras - the possibilities are endless.

How does it work?

The Gorillapod has legs that can be contorted into various positions, made possible by ball and socket type joints that bend and rotate 360 degrees. The Gorillapod also doubles as a standard mini tripod with rubber grips on the feet. It is supplied with a quick release plate that can be clicked into position and the release button can be locked for added security.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorillapod - handy flexible tripod - which works!, 24 Mar 2007
By C. Hutton "retropop" (Dorset, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It really does work! I've had mine wrapped around the banisters, camera hanging over the side of the stairs, and it was tight and secure.

The Gorillapod comes with a screw adapter giving you the ability to add a tripod head of your choice, which allows for more flexibility.

I'd recommend buying the *SLR-Zoom* version if you have any kind of SLR or even bridge/hybrid camera, even if it doesn't exceed the weight limit of the *SLR* version. Once you add a tripod head, flash, maybe a bigger lens or lens extensions/filters, it adds quite a bit of weight. Better to be on the safe side!

Great gadget to stuff in your bag for when a larger tripod just isn't practical.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bulky but often very useful, 15 Oct 2007
By Mr. Rik John Wells "Rik" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Gorillapod devices are alternatives for tripods or supports, only enabling a camera's attachment to and positioning on all sorts of things such as railings and trees as well as more conventional use as a miniature tripod, if considerably more adjustable for uneven terrain. The light grey sections of the legs (including the "feet") are grippy soft synthetic rubber-like material which help to prevent slippage. This definitely helps confidence when relying on it to safely support your thousand-pounds-or-more-worth of equipment! The joints are ball-joints and are quite stiff, which also helps with stability and the "safety" aspect. I do wonder how long the stiffness will last, but they are likely to last quite a while as they "share" movement. The stiffness does provide good stability for long exposures, excepting conditions where vibration may interfere with the way it has been mounted.

As has been mentioned in other reviews, the SLR Zoom version is essential for heavy camera/lens/etc. combinations, but it is rigid enough to support my Nikon D80 with 18-200mm zoom, weighing in at 3.3kg although finely adjusting where the camera is pointing is usually awkward without an additional tripod head. The smallest version (bought for my partner for use with her Coolpix 7900 and found to be very useful indeed) has a "neck" so you can wrap the legs around whatever and then bend it so that the camera is aimed perfectly at the subject. As this version is intended for use with considerably heavier equipment, there is no neck, so either you should bear the subject matter in mind as you apply the legs or use an additional tripod "head" as well. Without the separate adjustment, it can be very difficult to frame the subject. A head which allows for easy release of the camera would help, too, as the legs do add substantially to the awkwardness of carrying a camera! They can be "moulded" into a "single" leg to help support, though.

The light grey sections are susceptible to staining, especially as they are so soft, but IMHO, that's simply a sign that the item has been used!

The unit is very light, but quite bulky. Carrying it around in a camera bag is expensive in terms of space unless you are sure you're likely to use it. However, it is so versatile that I would make sure I took it on holiday, for example. I suspect everyone would have their own opinion of when and for what they might use it, but I would err on the side of taking it, certainly if self-portraits or long exposures are planned!

5.0 out of 5 stars You need one in your camera bag !, 26 Sep 2008
By Jag K (West Mids) - See all my reviews
I purchased this for my Canon Eos 450, and it's great. Easy to set up and use, and very portable. I went on to the website for the tripod to read some more details about it before purchasing it.

The manufacturer's website shows the different variations that this comes in. I would definitely recommend the SLR Zoom version if you have a SLR. As I am new to photography but have amassed a number of lenses already including a zoom lens, and due the weight limitations of the different tripods, I would recommend the SLR Zoom to future-proof your camera to some extent.

I have used the tripod with the Canon camera attached to a 300mm zoom lens and it works well.

It is sturdy and very portable and flexible.
