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 good to have a tripod that you can trust once you walk away and know your camera will not fall off or be blown over. Highly recommended product.
