Joby GorillaPod Micro 250
By Brian Jones
Joby came up with a very unique design to address a very specific problem. Point and shoot users are less likely to carry any sort of tripod, even if it is a relatively small tripod. What should a point and shoot user do to fix this problem? Attach the GorillaPod Micro and you’ll never be without a tripod again. This lightweight and very small tripod is design to be with you at all times and provide stability on most surfaces and terrains. It isn’t going to replace the usefulness of a full blown tripod, but it will provide the point and shoot photographer peace of mind. The GorillaPod Micro 250 can be found for $14.95 to $19.95.

Strengths
Very small and lightweight Inexpensive The rubber feet are a nice touch to keep the tripod from sliding Much better than setting the camera on a flat surface because you can point the camera in the direction you need Weaknesses Only useful in a handful of situations The bolt that connects the tripod to the camera feels weak |
