Here is a picture of a Gorillapod in action - well, they are used to dampen action

Last time visiting zoo, didn't see one.
Looks effective.
Any one knows can confirm much it weights, what is the supporting weight and how reliable it is?

UK television morning show GMTV did a feature on them not that long ago....we sold out within the week!...only just getting them back in again.

Great items, but I can't help thinking that different colour schemes would make the pod more attractive to look at (if I were being over critical)

I tried one at the Focus on Imaging Birmingham NEC, it was incapable of holding my 10D + battery pack and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.

Probably ok for such as the 400D or Olympus E-400
