This is a short first thought on my latest toy. Its specs report it to be able to hold 11 pounds. I am not sure how valid and important a metric that is. Most importantly it is the largest of the Joby products. It lists for almost 110$ US on Amazon, but I got it for 53$ US due to future shipment date and sale prices. I bought this for use with a D300 and a 55mm f2.8 MF and a 18-200mm VR. I got it for hiking and snowshoeing so I could be in the picture without having to lug a monopod or tripod. I wanted to attach this thing to an adjoining tree and get into the picture... I also wanted to use this as a basic small travel tripod, again to allow me to get into the picture. Once I got this, I found it quite nice for a very low tripod to take macro photos of small flowers like crocuses and such.
I would recommend always using a head; In my case, I use the same smaller head I use on my monopod, a Manfrotto 486RC2 head. This smaller head fits perfectly on the top of the Gorillapod. It also allows you to align everything so that gravity goes straight down the tripod and then focus the camera where you want.
I would not recommend trying to photograph in portrait position without a L bracket. With the right head, you obviously can do it but the center of weight is all wrong and the vibrations are magnified. And even pressing the picture release button with this Gorillapod aligned correctly with gravity will move the camera; doing so with the camera in non centered portrait position, even more so.
Perhaps it is best not to think of this as a tripod; instead think of it as a hybrid mini tripod attachment device. The gorillapod focus does not dampen vibrations; I bet it increases them. But as an attachment device with the goal of attachment and hands free tripod operation, it has no real product opposition in the marketplace for the price.
In short this product will force me to improve my technique: Shutter up; Remote actuation; correct weight alignment on Gorillapod; etc. But for me and its intended use, I think I am going to like it a lot. In the short time I have had it has already proved worth its value.
PS, while I got a reduced price due to agreeing to a future shipment date, I got mine delivered earlier than estimated. Yahooo!
The Gorillapod i flexible and mounts where you can't get others. The legs are kind of stiff but i you need the weight you need the strength.
Surprisingly useful and way easier to set up as well as less expensive that the alternates. Nikon 200-400mm f/4G AF-S SWM SIC ED IF VR II Nikkor Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras at 7.4 lbs would still be light enough to work with many DSLRs but not with the supplied mounting plate. A lng plate would be needed to allow the center of mass to be moved well in front of the camera to account for the lens.
I got mine for table top and micro work with my Casio Exilim EX-F1 6MP 12x Zoom 2.8-Inch LCD Pro Digital Camera with CMOS Shift Image Stabilization (Black) and old D70 primarily training and forensics. I use a Induro PHQ 1-Way Panhead head on it. See the reviews. (BTW Amazon screwed up the heads are 5 way! AFAIK there is no such thing as a one way head!)
The Joby BH2-01EN Ballhead X for Joby Focus Flexible Tripod is OK but lacks the precision needed. Neither is really useful for video unless the camera is locked and the object moves.
Overall great for the ecological niche that it occupies.
First off, the Battery-Packed 5D is (sadly) a bit too heavy for the GP8 in that the legs start to sag due to the tremendous amount of weight from the 5D. Not a big deal. I've learned how to take advantage of the Gorillapod's flexibility. If you shape the legs like it was a walking monster octopus (minus 4 legs)(bend (from top to bottom) at ball #5 and ball #7 on all 3 legs) the Gorillapod seems to be able to handle and maintain the weight very nicely.
Absolutely no problem with my 30D mounted onto the GP8.
I'm also using Joby's BH1 Ball Head which is an excellent addition to my set-up. It allows easy and convenient mounting and off-mounting of my cameras from the Gorillapod. - Buy a second Quick Release Replacement Clip if you're using more than one camera.
At first, the Gorillapod's legs are stiff and a bit hard to position/maneuver but after it loosened up with use, it seems to flex and shape very easily. It's light, compact and easy to carry around vs having to carry around my manfrotto tripod.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend the Gorillapod Focus GP8 to anyone looking for an inexpensive, portable, durable, flexible and compact tripod.
Get one when you can.

Il permet de faire facilement et rapidement l'horizon avec son niveau à bulle. Les pieds sont un peu durs à plier, mais c'est cohérent avec la solidité et la stabilité du produit. Il permet d'installer et d'accrocher l'appareil photo dans des situations qui ne seraient pas possibles avec un pied classique.
Facilement transportable à l'intérieur d'un sac photo.
Un peu cher par rapport à la concurence, mais y a t'il vraiment de concurence pour ce produit ?
Pas vu de produits d'autres marques équivallents.
Si la qualité se confirme à l'usage, je recommande à 100% ce produit, il vaut l'investissement.
