NEW YORK—The Gorillapod Gravity defying camera tripod firmly secures your compact digital camera to just about anything, anywhere and everywhere. The gorillapod doesn't require an elevated flat surface for you to take the perfect shot unlike traditional tripods. The design allows you to adjust your camera to the perfect angle, and stay there lightweight, compact, bendable, wrappable and easy to carry. It's the perfect accessory for getting great photos in any location even unimagined areas which allows you to capture unique shots.

The original Gorillapod is ideal for point-and-shoot compact digital cameras weighing up to 275 grams (9.7 oz). Or the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom* is the new heavy-duty version, designed with the serious photographer in mind. It attaches to SLRs (with zoom lenses!), video cameras, and your own tripod head, and can support a whopping 6.6 pounds (3kg)!

The Gorillapod uses its 30 adjustable joints to grip to trees, fences or posts—anything it can wrap its legs around—to provide a steady and secure platform for your digicam! No more hunting for flat surfaces at eye-level: just wrap or hang Gorillapod on any handy object and get in the picture! They say a picture is worth a thousand words so just look at some of the places Joby's gorillapod was mounted.
