Joby Gorillapod

If your into your photography, be it an amatuer or even professional the Joby gorillapod will amaze you with its bendyness! First of all you can see this is a tripod to hold your camera still whilst taking pictures. This version is for normal point and shoot cameras, there is a bigger version for SLR's. But this one does fine for my camera its bigger than most point and shoots. (Panasonic FZ28) Upon getting the package you will notice it looks a bit of a joke, does it really work, war of the worlds looking. But upon getting the pod out for use you will notice that its no gimmick. Far from it. As all of the joints are rubberised you ...  Read the complete review

Like many other people there are 2 situations that really annoy me when I'm taking photos. The first is when you want a photo of yourself or you and a friend / partner, and there's no one else there to take the photo. How do we usually get round this? Either hold the camera at arms length, usually ending up with half a face and no scenery or balance the camera somewhere on timer and hope for the best!! The second is that of night time (scenery) photos. I like to think that I have quite a steady hand, but if my night time photography is anything to go by, I shake like I've gone cold turkey!!! Forever am I left with bleary streaks of light and there ...  Read the complete review

I am an obsessive fisherman. A sad as it may sound it is true and it leads to spending a great deal of time alone. In pursuit of specemin fish I have a number of fantastic memories. As you may or may not know fisherman spend an inordinate amount of time taking photographs of their catch and putting them into albums. This is relatyively easy if you fish with a companion. Photgraphing yourself with a large wriggling fish is no mean feat but while trying to hold an expensive camera far enough away from you to get a decent shot it is about impossible. My gfriend (the thoughtful soul that she is) bought me one of these last christmas. Since then ...  Read the complete review

This thing is a must for any amateur photographer, it just comes in so handy! For those who have not yet seen one, basically this is a flexible tripod which attaches through the usual screw on attachment to the bottom of your camera. It then has 3 flexible jointed legs which can be manouvered in any direction to allow you to get the perfect angle for your shot. Better than ever these legs can be twisted around things to secure your camera to a tree, lamp post - just about anything. At first I thought this was rather gimmicky, but now I carry mine everywhere and use it particularly for timer controlled self shots! One more major advantage of this pod is that you can ...  Read the complete review

No matter what your ability in photography this is an excellent gadget and an absolute must have. The Gorillapod can be attached to fences, poles, walls, trees, ledges and numerous other platforms. it is also ideal for taking pictures from an uneven surface like a rock. While the legs of the gorillapod are bendy to make it easy to position they are also firm enough to support heavy cameras in the most awkward of positions. The Gorillapod also has a useful detachment that screws into your cameras tripod slot to make it easy and quick to set up when you need it. It is also small enough to be easy enough to carry around and will slip easily into a small bag. Its ...  Read the complete review
