Pros:
-Small and easy to take in backpack or daypack.
-Can be bent to work in a variety of situations.
-Can be wrapped around tree limbs, guard rails, poles, etc.
-Can also make a great monopod for selfies or to stabilize the camera/smartphone for shots.
-Great for time lapses or Casey Neistat type vlog shots.
Cons;
-Not able to hold up anything too heavy (I wouldn't recommend anything larger then a point and shoot or smartphone)
-Does not come with a phone mount (you can buy one of these for cheap tho) (I have a pink one as seen in the photos. I got it for $2.50 at walmart!)
Overall a very reliable and versatile tripod. It is always in my backpack for any time I want to get some cool vlog style shots or time lapses of my day to day actvities! It is not too expensive either! Very reasonable for what you get out of it!

I did end up using this tripod to attach the projector on top of an Apple TV box. It's plenty big for that.
The secret behind this tripod is that it is composed of lots of plastic ball and socket joints. They are very tight fitting, or else this wouldn't be much use. Unfortunately, the sockets can crack under all the pressure. One of mine on the first one did crack, so I bought a replacement. I could still use the two-legged one for holding a flash or something, I suppose. I might have given this a 4 star rating instead of 5, but at $20, I can deal with occasional replacements.
Cons: The legs are super "sticky" precision teeny tiny adjustments are near impossible, its still very usable and is a peeve I would notice though I doubt it will affect anyone else, it is very slight and I imagine is necessary for its other parts to function. Im not sure its should hold much more then a hobby camera, a large or particularly heavy DSLR might need a more substantial stand (though I tried a normal canon DSLR, a friends, and it worked fine).
Firstly, it is not very stiff so any recording I do drifts away and nothing is still.
Secondly, the individual pieces of the legs are quite weak and when I attempt to form them to grip a surface, the joints will pop off without effort.
Finally, the tripod has a 'locking' mechanism at the top, which is supposed to keep the piece that holds the camera or phone stable in whatever position you choose to lock it in. My tripod does not lock at all, regardless of what the setting is on. Again, I don't know if my tripod came to me busted or if they are all like this.
All in all, I am disappointed in this product and regret not returning it when I had the chance.

Reviewed in Mexico on August 26, 2020
La sua struttura è formata da una serie di snodi a sfera, che permettono di appendere questo gorrillapod ovunque. Gli anelli di rivestimento attorno alle sfere, così come i piedini, sono rivestiti in un materiale gommoso che crea un attrito molto forte, perfetto per non far scivolare il cavalletto quando lo si appende in posizioni proibitive.
Personalmente l'ho usato per sostenere la mia mirrorless, il cui peso sfiora i 500 grammi, e sembra non dare problemi, nonostante il limite di carico sia fissato a 400 grammi. Per stare sul sicuro comunque, la stessa ditta offre diversi tipi di soluzioni, adatte ai vari pesi delle fotocamere.
La testa del cavalletto, presenta due intelligenti sistemi di blocco: il primo tramite pulsante, e il secondo tramite ghiera: la piccola slitta provvista di vite, potrà dunque essere fissata al cavalletto, ed esso potrà essere bloccato per evitare cadute accidentali.
Consiglio l'acquisto di questo prodotto a coloro che desiderano fare foto con la loro piccola macchina (fino a 400 grammi ripeto) in situazioni difficili, magari appendendo il gorillapod al ramo di un albero oppure a una ringhiera.
Per macchine più grosse, date un'occhiata su Amazon; la stessa ditta propone soluzioni per macchine fino ai 3 chili di peso.

Nachdem es schon bei der Übergabe auf große Begeisterung gestoßen ist, hat es meine Eltern auch schon auf einige Touren begleitet und konnte ihnen das Bilder Aufnehmen sehr erleichtern. Passt problemlos an die Digitalkamera meiner Eltern, vermutlich aber auch an jedes andere normale Modell.
Fazit: Zwei glückliche Eltern und eine glückliche Schenkerin. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
My most used alternative to a Go-Pro Mount.
Can fix it anywhere using the holder of a selfiestick to hold the phone mounted onto the gorilla pod.
