Pros: It's really well built and strong. I bought it for my prosumer camera and it can easily hold it. It has a 1/4 and 3/8 screw so it can support any type of camera.
Cons: Not too light (but it's maybe normal because it's quite strong). It's not too easy to put it exacty in the original straight tripod shape again, there is always one small part that is twirly. But I guess that's typical on these types of pods.
Other Thoughts: It would be nice if it has some kind of platform on top like some ohters so you don't have to screw it on your camera all the time
Bottomline: It's a nice tripod, well made and you can make nice pictures with it which you wouldn't be able to make otherwise. Buy it, you'll not be disappointed.
Pros: Better build quality than expected, the finishing and silicon looks pretty close to the gen. It also seems sturdy and holds its own it multple arrangment.Used it with a compact DSLR, and not worries.
Cons: May be I haven't used it enough yet, but it is pretty stuff, not as flexible as the Joby for sure.
Other Thoughts: This the same size to the ZOOM-DSLR from the other guy and if you down grade and use it for a compact, you would have no problems. I wouldn't use it for a full size DSLR with a long lens, even on the real one anyway.
Bottomline: It doesn't come with a life time warranty but it also doesn't cost 2~3 times as much, so you decide.
Pros: - Great build quality- Sturdy and holds itself on all kinds of surfaces- Fits on both my digital and analog camera's!
Cons: - It needs a little working, it's not (YET) as flexible as the gorillapod- Not much really
Other Thoughts: It's bigger than I thought it would be and it's also sturdier. The silicon plastic makes sure the tripod won't slip and holds itself on all kinds of surfaces. My cameras are quite heavy and it won't budge.
Bottomline: Great buy! Really cheap, good quality and it doesn't take alot of space in your cambag.
Pros: -very cheap copy of the "gorilla-pod"-easy to use-very flexible
Cons: May bee the build quality may get some improvement. the legs are not as strong anymore then when i received the item. And I'm not even using it every day.
Other Thoughts: I doubt it can hold 3 kg. Even if it does when you just bought it, i think the ballast u can put to it is getting less every day.
Bottomline: Funny tripod when u love the gorilla-pod but you do not want to spend that much for the original 1. It got a high fun-factor for me, but not that much useful
