Joby - Gorillapod Outdoor Camera Tripod —

I received this as a gift and it has turned out to be much more useful than I could have ever imagined. I love this little gadget and use it whenever I am out taking pictures. I always used to fiddle around trying to find a place to set the camera so I could use the timer feature and run in the picture. This has lead to my camera falling on the ground, not being able to find the perfect spot to put the camera and some other difficulties. This tri-pod makes it easy to set the camera just about anywhere and is very secure. It is also nice and small so it is very easy to carry around without much difficulty. It also has a great locking feature so the camera does not fall off your awkwardly positioned tri-pod. I have place it on everything from tree limbs to fences to railings, you name it I've used it. Just this past Christmas though I was out ice fishing in Canada and in the cold weather it didn't fair to well, I cracked it. But now I know I will have to be more careful with the next one I buy in the cold. Another thing I'd like to add is I used it on my honeymoon and people thought the pics were great because my wife and I are in all of them and we didn't have to stop someone to take a picture every time.
