Tripod Alternative: The Gorillapod

The Gorillapod in ActionThe Photography Gadget of the day is the Gorillapod by JOBY - This has to be one of the best things to just buy and keep in your photo bag. How many times have you wished you could be in the photo and didn't have your tripod with you. Well, This Gorillapod allows you to attach your camera and then set it up like a tripod or wrap it's legs around a pole, tree, bench leg, the places are endless where you can use it. The Gorllapod is compact, bendable, portable, grippable and kinda cool. 

The GorillaPod comes in three varieties: Compact, SLR, SLR+Zoom - The biggest differences are the ammound of weight that each can handle.

Compact or Original can hold a compact camera up to 9.75 ozs - Perfect of all the wonderful portable Digital cameras out there.

Gorillapod with tripod headThe SLR Version can handle a little larger load: up to 1.75 lbs - This will be for most of the regular slr camera and larger digital cameras

and The SLR Pro can handle the largest of the loads: up to 6.6 lbs - This will handle even different tripod heads as well and will handle the SLR with zoom lens.

I found that Amazon has some good choices of this product
