If items were rated simply on a coolness factor, the Gorilla Tripod would be at the top of the list. But there's more to a tripod then just how cool it is. Fortunately this tripod comes out a winner here as well.

What makes the Gorilla Tripod different than your standard tripod is that is comes with three flexible legs, You can bend and shape them any way you want. This allows you to set up your camera where a traditional tripod would not. Wrap the legs around things, move them to fit into tight spaces or odd angles, with this tripod you can do it all. When you're finished, wrap the legs together for easy storage.

You can fit this nifty little device just about anywhere. When was the last time you were able to walk around with a camera tripod in your purse? It's there when you need it, And in spite of it's flexibility, you find this tripod to be more stable than you might expect. Any concerns you may have about the camera falling off and getting damaged should be quickly laid to rest.

Just like most standard tripods, you camera attaches to the Gorilla Tripod with a universal 1/4-20 screw. So yes, this will work as a standard tripod as well. But if you are a little more creative and like to take pictures that are a bit out of the norm, you'll have the freedom to do so.

Let's look at just one way you can take really unique pictures. Remember this tripod will attach to just about any surface. Put it on an incline, wrap it around a pole or just set it on the floor. So the next time you take pictures of your kid grinding a rail at the local skate park, why not put the camera under the rail and snap away. How cool would that look? Whatever angle you can conceive, you can probably achieve with this nifty tripod.

It's cool, safe and functions well. And it also looks great. When you use it you are bound to have a lot of people asking you about it. Especially if you are using it creatively. They'll want to know what it is and where you got it so they can get one too.

Are there any drawbacks? Yes, but they are minor. The legs can be a little hard to move sometimes, and it may be a bit difficult to get into the exact position you want. But the more you practice using it, the easier it becomes. And once you get the hang of it, there is very little that you can't do.
