 Does not support Nikon D5000 properly September 8, 2010
John P. Schlosser (Costa Rica)
I have a Nikon D5000, which I sometimes use with the kit lens (18-55mm) or a 55-200mm zoom lens. This tripod is adequate to support the camera on a level surface, perhaps even a soft, level surface such as grass. It does feel somewhat flimsy in doing so, however; I need to ensure it's really holding otherwise it will start to slowly bend at the legs. Also, don't expect this tripod to properly hold a D5000-sized camera if you want to wrap the legs around something: the camera is too heavy for this. One time I was wrapping the legs around a wooden post and I accidentally snapped one of the balls from its joint. I was able to snap it back together, but it was somewhat dissapointing. Needless to say, I did not risk my D5000...
Overall, I would NOT recommend this tripod for a DSRL, even the D5000 which is a smaller, lighter DSLR.
To give the manufacturer, Joby, some credit their website does state that the maximum recommended weight of the camera for this tripod is 800 Grams, and recommends the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom for the D5000, which supports up to 3 Kg (6.6 Lbs) according the website.
 Great tripod August 17, 2010

I have never used a Gorillapod, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This is very versatile. It clings to most everything. With a longer lens, I just moved the legs a little and it was very stable. This one has a bubble level, so I wasn't worried about getting crooked photos.

Haven't actually used this item yet, but when you order something online, it's a relief just to receive what you thought you were ordering!
Just what I needed! July 26, 2010

One of the easiest things you can do to improve your photo quality is to use a tripod. For non moving subjects you can set your ISO to its lowest setting, set your aperture and let the camera choose whatever shutter speed it needs to get a properly exposed shot. You'll get crisply sharp, low noise images especially if you use your camera's built in timer or a cable or remote shutter release. I get tired of carrying around a large tripod or monopod and it seems like overkill anyway if you are using a point and shoot . . . so I recently tried out the Joby GP2-D1EN Gorillapod and love it! I'm using it with a Canon G11 and this size gorillapod is perfect with this camera. In fact, I like it so much I'm purchasing a larger size for my DSLR. I'm uploading a collage of three photos showing the Canon G11 on this model Gorillapod so check out the customer uploaded product images to see how the combination looks.
One sweet little tripod July 23, 2010

Due to a medical condition, I can no longer hold a camera steady for anything but flash photography so I went on a search for a convenient tripod. After searching out a number of options I chose the GP2-Gorillapod. I chose the GP2 because I prefer an SLR-style digital as the shirt pocket digital cameras are too small for me to grip properly and the GP1 model wasn't sturdy enough for a heavier digital.
I've used the tripod for about a month now and it has become an essential piece of my photography tool kit. It is small and light enough to carry along without weighing me down like a full sized tripod does and it will give you a solid rest on just about any surface but a flat table top [Due to the many joints in the legs, getting it to sit up straight on a flat surface is quite a chore]. The quick release device is one of the best features of the tripod. The part that affixes to the camera is unobtrusive and does not interfere with hand holding the camera and yet makes switching to the tripod a lightning fast operation and it provides a solid connection to the tripod. The included level bubble is a great feature.
If you are looking for a light and easy tripod that can give you a solid base for long exposures over a variety of surfaces, you can't beat the Gorillapod and the folks at Joby build a quality product so I recommend this brand.
