The
Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom with Compact Ballhead is an ultra-versatile mini-tripod or grip that can be used with large SLR cameras with zoom lens attached or with camcorders (max. load capacity of 6.6 lb/3 kg). Its three multi-segmented flexible legs can be formed to grip almost any protrusion, be it a branch, doorknob, rock, or uneven surface.
Each of the joints can bend and rotate 360°, to wrap around objects. The bottom rubber segment on the legs is larger to allow it to be used in the traditional way.
The included Slik Compact Ballhead is a ballhead for use with most 35mm, digital & light medium format cameras. It features a compact round camera stage, and an easy-to-grip locking wheel.
