The new “gorilla pods” with articulated jointed legs offer a versatile way
to hold the camera in situations where either tripod or monopod would
not achieve the desired result.
For example the “gorilla pod” can be used to support the camera on
fences, tree branches and railings etc., as well as in the conventional
tripod configuration.
There are two basic types, a light weight version and one aimed at DSLR
users.
The light weight one is really only designed for compact digital cameras
and you may experience difficulty in getting the head to stay exactly
where you want it to.
The “gorillapod”, or in this
case the “spider tripod”
from Vivitar® is a
convenient way to hold your
camera on a variety of
surfaces. The jointed arms
are able to wrap around
round and rectangular
sections such as tree
branches and fence rails.
They normally have a quick
release plate at the head of
the tripod.
