The Joby Gorillapod is incredible

The Gorillapod is the best thing I’ve purchased in the last six months. If you’ve taken shots with long exposures, you know how important it is to have a steady hand. Even a brain surgeon couldn’t hold a camera still enough to take crisp long exposures. So that means a tripod is needed. I have a nice one, but I don’t always feel like lugging it around. Lately I’ve just been carrying the Gorillapod with me, and it works as advertised. It will wrap and hold very still onto anything it can get a grip on.

Fork out the $60 or whatever it is. If you’re into photography at all, it’s a must-have in my humble opinion. (Note: there are two versions, one for DSLRs and one for point-and-shoots, so the weight capacities are different… make sure you pay attention when purchasing)
