Nice accersory for a DSLR

Rating:****
I was surprised at how lightweight the gorillapod was once I got it out of the package. That's a good thing because it makes it super easy to travel with.
Unlike the regular gorillapod the zoom doesn't come with a moveable head. So you are kind of stuck with horizontal format unless you get a tripod head. But I was able to tweak it to get some vert pics. I knew the shortcoming before I bought so I wasn't disappointed. If I hadn't known that I would have been very disappointed. I don't think they explain that need well enough in the description.

Fun product

Nice product. Can take fun pictures with this!! Works pretty good. Have only had a few issues where it moved a little once I positioned it. It didn't move much. Overall, I'm really happy with this. Now I don't have to stop people on the sidewalk to take pictures of us. : )
