Gorillapods – The Traveler’s Tripod

If you’re constantly traveling alone, you know how hard and downright frustrating it can be to actually get a decent picture of your surroundings with you in it. Now, with a new generation of tripods you no longer have to worry about that.

Gorillapods are the future and best of all, they are amazing for travel: small, durable and flexible, they can go anywhere you go and only take up minimal space in a suitcase or backpack. A much welcomed change from the large and bulky tripods of yesteryear.

In addition, their bendable frame allows you to hook them onto almost any object (think railings, branches, and even rocks), and still have the camera remain upright for the photo. Simply twist and turn to transform it into the perfect position and then snap away.

A variety of different sizes are available to fit each and every camera, ranging from small and compact digitals to those large and heavy SLR’s. There is even one that is equipped to handle a large video camera, holding up to eleven pounds! Best of all, with prices starting at around $27 you won’t be breaking the bank.
