Works well….
I bought this for my Canon Xsi with 55-255 Zoom lens. It is definitely strong enough to hold it.
It got plenty of attention when I wrapped it around the railing to…

Definitely sturdy!
While this model is a little bigger than I thought it would be, I love it! I feel it will definitely hold up to the different positions I may need to put it into to wrap it around…

Comes in quite handy
I bought this so that I can have some tripod I can take anywhere. I use it with my Nikon D40, with the kit lens another zoom lens – nothing too heavy.

Works as discription claims.
Works great you can attach gorillapod to any surface or object securely. Handy when hiking can slip through camera bag strap and weighs next to nothing.

Caution: you get full use only with a light dSLR
This version of the Gorillapod is supposed to hold up to a 6.3lb combination of lens and camera but… it doesn’t.

Portability is its best feature
I purchased this unit to use with my Pentax K20D & associated zoom lenses. I find however that due to weight of the DA* series lenses mounted on the K20D + Battery Grip, it may…

portable and cool
Good for portability, fits in my camera bag with no problems. Also holds my canon 40d nicely. Is not a replacement for a regular tripod though, and in general situations you will…

Works as described, temporarily.
I have quite enjoyed this gorillapod slr, but I must say that there are some issues with its use.
Others have mentioned the constant struggle to get it at just the right…

When traveling, less is more. This is especially true for the serious photo enthusiast. When I travel, I want to carry as little as possible. However, I also want to have at hand everything I need to deal with the variety of situations I might encounter. In other words, my equipment choices need to be relatively compact, lightweight and flexible. I don't want to carry multiple single-purpose items. Instead, I look for single multi-purpose items.

That said, the Gorillapod is ideal. It's clever design and lightweight materials make it easy to carry and useful for a variety of photo situations. The SLR-Zoom Gorillapod is sturdy enough to support my Nikon D200 with 18mm-200mm Nikor zoom lens, and at the same time compact and light enough to attach to my camera bag with a hook and loop strap. All 'n all, a clever, useful and travel-friendly photo accessory.
