Take the perfect picture with this brilliant gadget. The original gorrillapod tripod is lightweight, compact, portable, bendable, wrappable and grippable. It is ideal for point-and-shoot compact digital cameras weighing up to 9.7oz (275g). Unlike traditional tripods, the gorillapod doesn’t require an flat surface for you to take the perfect shot. It firmly secures your compact digital camera to just about anything - anywhere and everywhere! The Gorillapod has legs that can be contorted into various positions, made possible by ball and socket type joints that bend and rotate 360 degrees. So you can wrap it around posts, trees, and railings, even sides of rocks, to form a stable anchor for compact cameras. The Gorillapod also doubles as a standard mini tripod with rubber grips on the feet. It is supplied with a quick release plate that can be clicked into position and the release button can be locked for added security.
