Question: I am buying a Canon 70D, and the weight seems very close to maximum weight this GorillaPod can carry. Will it hold up?
Document: I got this to use with a Canon 60 and a 18-200 lens. The weight of the camera and lens is close to the limit of the this GorillaPod. The price seems a little much for what it is, but there are not any other competitors. I wasn't willing to spend for the next larger GorillaPod, that holds more, I don't have the need for that.The ball head is pretty much a necessity with this unless you want to spend a lot more time setting up.
I mostly use this to hold my underwater phov/video setup and it does a very good job at that. I have also used it on land with my Canon 60D with mixed results. Sometimes the weight with a 18-200mm lens seems to be a bit much an is hard to setup but eventually I get it done. For undewater use 5 stars, for topside use 4 stars.
It does the job pretty good but after just a little use it seems to have loosend up in some of the most used joints so it won't hold up as strongly as when I used it the first times. Other than that It's a great peace of mini tripod that you should carry with you always. I have used it in many occasions and it being small I often use it in macro photography to take long exposures.
I bought this looking for a flexible (pun intended), portable tripod to use when I'm out and about. It is very sturdy and has no problem holding up my Canon 7d with 55-250 lens. It can supposedly hold about 6lbs and it feels true. The little piece that attaches to your camera is small but seems sturdy enough though the level seems kinda pointless honestly.My one gripe is with the ball head.
This is my 2nd of three Gorillpods that I've owned. It's an excellent product and well worth the money. I used it while traveling for a week in Costa Rica and it was excellent when taking pictures in a horizontal / landscape orientation. However, it was practically unusable when I rotated the camera (Canon 7D with 28-135mm kit lens) 90 to take a vertical / portrait orientation shot. The legs just aren't quite strong enough to hold the weight of the camera off balance in this position.
I took a couple pictures with my iPhone of my Canon XSi with my 55-250mm lens and hood on the Gorillapod. I seem to have deleted the pictures, but will look for them and hopefully I can post after the fact. It was very solid, legs had no problems supporting the weight and I wasn't nervous in the least. The rubber feet do an excellent job of keeping it in one place.
I have tried a few copies but nothing seems to come close to the quality and durability of the original Joby versions. Lightweight, supports a variety of cameras and lenses, and the bullhead makes it even more flexible. Recommended.
In case you're wondering about the weight: it's sturdy enough to hold a Sony A77 with a battery grip, small light and microphone, and it's also good for a Canon EOS 60D with a battery grip. Also, the level makes it easy to check horizons when mounting in a place that hides the viewfiender (e.g. oddly-shaped tree, under a porch, etc.)
Buy this product! It is of very high quality and really does the job. I use it mainly with a light box for close-ups of small objects, and it bends and twists easily to what I need for the shots. Once I have it set for a shot, it is grippy and very steady. The ball head is good too as it holds my Canon Rebel T2i tightly, but it is easy to maneuver as well.
Is it overpriced? Not really, in my opinion. Will it replace your tripod? Not even close. Is it essential? No. Helpful? Yes.Frankly, I imagine I'll ultimately use it more often to position a Speedlite than to hold my camera. For THAT, it's terrific. Will hold a shoe mount multiclamp, Speedlite and umbrella -- as long as there's something to wrap the Gorillapod's legs around. You can quickly set your light in some interesting positions, depending on the environment.
Answer: Yes. Unless there is another model with a higher weight support, the GP3 is a very sturdy tripod.
