Joby GorillaPod Micro 800 Tripod - Gray
The GorillaPod Micro 800 Tripod - Gray isn't technically microscopic, but you will have trouble seeing it when its legs are folded up and it's concealed underneath the base of your small EVIL or MILC or Micro Four Thirds camera – really, any camera under 1.8 lb will do, but this mini-tripod is designed for small interchangeable-lens models.
The Micro 800 is designed to be an always-on tripod, which connects to your camera via its standard 1/4"-20 screw. It's smaller than the base of your camera and weighs only 2.3 oz, so you'll never have a reason to remove it – it will fit comfortably with your camera inside almost any case.
Fan out its legs, and you suddenly have a stable base of support that will allow you to set your camera down on many objects & surfaces to capture a rock-solid shot – whether a low-light landscape photo or a time-lapse video. The aluminum positioning ball of the GorillaPod 800 tilts up to 36° in any direction, so you can level out the frame even if your shooting surface has a significant grade to it. The gray rubber grips at the ends of the zinc alloy legs lend the Micro 800 sure footing on almost any surface.

Comments about Joby GorillaPod Micro 800 Tripod - Gray:
I have no negative comments for this tripod. It is the only I have ever purchased of its sort, however. It is nice and compact and I can even store my camera in its case with it attached. It is quite inconspicuous when its folded up and isn't any bother to me when it is attached but not in use. It has an excellent tilt radius for how small it is and seems to stay put on peculiar surfaces. Once I have it in place it stays there too, even with my Nikon 1 series camera and its bulkiest lens. I would recommend it to friends, for certain!

Comments about Joby GorillaPod Micro 800 Tripod - Gray:
This is a great little tripod. It won't hold even a small DSLR, but for a larger P&S or a lightweight camcorder, it works well. It packs in virtually no space and sets up very easily. My guess is that the tension to hold a camera in place might lessen after lots of use, but I have not yet experienced this. A very smart design. Priced a little high for what is consists of, but I'm still glad I bought it.

Comments about Joby GorillaPod Micro 800 Tripod - Gray:
I hadn't seen this in a store, so I didn't realize how small it was. It truly is micro...
Overall the construction is good, it seems really well made. The orbiting head is sort of nice too. I bought a hot shoe mount to put on here to hold a speedlite. It seems to handle the weight of it, but when you orbit the head to its extents, the height of the speedlite makes it want to tip over. This is easily fixed by rotating the legs to provide added balance. However, I would not consider it "stable" and a light wind might still tip it over.
It is a cool design because if used on a point and shoot, the tripod folds up and rotates nicely to be parallel with the camera. That is to say, it is a nice compact design for a "Micro" (lightweight) tripod. It is quite small -- Probably 3.5" legs (Obviously I didn't read the specs page when ordering!).

Comments about Joby GorillaPod Micro 800 Tripod - Gray:
This little tripod fits into the tripod screw mount on the bottom of most digital cameras.
It swivels away from the base by simply unfolding the three legs. The camera can be placed on almost any surface, by positioning the legs, allowing you to have a hands free support, especially if you can use your point and shoot cameras's self-timer mode. No more ruined shots because you don't have a tripod!
