[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 433163, member: 8330"] They make several versions. None of them will replace a traditional tripod. But then again, it's not really supposed to. The size and flexibility is all about fitting into tight or awkward spots and just plain getting creative with the legs. It fits in any bag and conforms to just about any surface. The Focus version is the one I use and it's built well. Most people fail because they push the weight limits or they try to defy gravity. If you learn to position the legs correctly you can use it for some heavy stuff. I stuck a D7100 with grip and a Sigma 150-500mm lens on this Gorillapod just to demonstrate. If you need it sturdier then don't use a ballhead and just attach it to the legs to lower your center of gravity and lower the weight. [ATTACH=CONFIG]147470._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
