I should’ve spent more and get a bigger one. This one works with small cameras or your phone. One of the legs snapped out when I tried to wrap them around a pipe for a shot, there is a small crack not sure if I caused that I have really not used it that much. I can still use it.

My second gorilla pod tripod, other one for my Nikon digital SLR camera. These are simple to use, durable and really versatile when you need to take outdoor portrait shots and action videos or pics. Size is great for backpacks, small carry cases. I used a $5 reward certificate and this one was an open box discounted item so a great price too.

Excellent grip, sturdy, easy to setup, very light weight. I would have like the legs to curve more. I really like it.

Great gift idea for anyone who likes taking pictures. It is totally flexible and portable for anywhere on the go. The tri pod is actually really small and would also be great to travel with. Value I would say is pretty decent. Great buy! take those selfies ladies, this is your friend

Nice little tripod for my hero 8. The flexible legs let you put it on uneven surfaces and be able to wrap it around a pipe to position my camera. Happy so far, hoping for long term durability.

I only really bought this thing because I felt it was one of those things you just bought when you get a GoPro, but I didn't really have any uses in mind. I ended up using it extensively, from a simple tabletop tripod, selfie grip, uneven surfaces, and hanging it off trees and such. I also used the legs to hang it onto my backpack when not in use, and I had a mount for that specifically, which I didn't even use because of the simplicity of this device. Complements your GoPro very well for a relatively affordable price.

Perfect size for travel. Grips on to pretty much everything. I used this to attach the GoPro to the chain link fence at baseball games. Holds tight and doesn’t move. I would add a swivel head to it and it would be perfect. A level bubble would be nice too.

Works great for filming using it as a bi-pod/handle as well as mounted on my car with a tether.
I’ve even dropped it on several occasions and still holding up great!!

Very flexible -- would have been better if it had come with the attachment that you can screw a camera into. Had one so was able to use it. If didn't would have been a problem.
