There is also a very small and functional 'quick mount' that attaches to the camera and then quickly snaps into the tripod body - it is so small that the camera still fits into an already tight fitting camera bag - making it super quick to move from holding the camera by hand and snapping it back into the tripod. This is a great, lightweight, compact, versatile tripod. Overall, great value for the money - it is for the novice and quick shooting, but fits great in a large pocket or backpack (I have carried mine all over Germany and Spain - much better than an old one with metal telescoping legs). The flexible legs do work, but if you attach the tripod to something smooth without something for it to grip onto (like a handrail), the whole tripod and camera will rotate and flip around - to prevent this, you just need to ensure it is 'locked' or wrapped around something that will prevent it from rotating - for example, you can use two legs around a handrail and the third leg against the wall for a handrail, etc. It is great for lightweight cameras and camcorders, it is not a good chose for large camera. Rubber feet ensure it does not slip on any surface, and the 'bendable' legs make it a snap to adjust height, direction of shot, etc.
I have purchased one for myself in red to match my camera and am looking forward to trying it. She enjoyed it and stated that it was very user friendly. My 15-year old granddaughter was the one to whom I gifted it to match her new blue digital camera (and the Gorillapod Flexible Tripod was blue, of course, and that was a big incentive to purchase). She used it on her recent trip to Kauai, Hawaii.
The only complaint I have about this tripod is that it is not stiff enough to hold my camera sideways without falling over.It is great for wrapping around things or standing on a table-top.
I would definitely recommend this product :) Its great for taking pictures without leaving anyone out. This product is very useful and durable. You can attach it to almost anything and I love that it comes in a different colors.
The colors are fun too. tripod, clinging onto handrails, etc). Best micro-tripod I've ever used. Extremely light and will mold into whatever position need for the moment (e.g.
