Thanks for the link. I haven’t ordered one yet. I just ordered a GorillaPod for SLR sized cameras so should have fun with that.

Well, as nifty as the gadget is, it isn’t a tripod. It has four points that contact the surface upon whi it sits. It is a quadpod. The design could easily be changed to a trippod, but it isn’t one as shown.

Now, you might think, ‘well, a quadpod is better, because it has 1 more leg’ but you would be mistaken. It takes three points to define a plane. A three legged stool (a tripod) can’t wobble. A four legged stool can (and usually does). This is the reason that full size tripods, and not quadpods exist where portability isn’t an issue and stability is.
