The tripod is good but is not what I expected it to be. May be I should have gone for the next higher quality model.

Joby GP2-D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod for Digital SLR Cameras with Bubble Level

It was too large so I returned it. I bought the smaller Joby GP1-D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey) by Joby none SLR instead.

We purchased this tripod for out Nikon D5000 fitted with a 18-200mm lens. The weight of the lens was too heavy for this particular tripod, causing the entire camera/tripod unit to keel over. Luckily, we tested it out on a table top at home rather than out in the field. We did not notice any weight/lens restriction in the packaging or amazon description which might have warned us about this.

Sorry, but this is a joke. Please don’t label something DSLR capable when it’s barely strong enough to hold a super zoom camera.

Maybe I got a poor copy, but if I didn’t, don’t expect much out of yours.

I LOVE the idea, I have other Gorillapods for standard size cameras and they are exceptional. I LOVE the quick release and the level that comes standard.

This thing can’t hold my canon 5d mark II with a tiny 50mm lens.

Sorry, but that’s disappointing!

I’m not returning it because it works well for so many other things.
