[fameasser84]

Hi,

I'm looking for a gorilla pod but i dont know which size is more suitable for my eos 450d w kit lens.. i understand that there are 3 sizes.. gp1 gp2 gp3... can anyone advise? and where can i get it cheap?

thanks!

They have the G0-G0, ORIGINAL, SLR, SLR-ZOOM and FOCUS.

ORIGINAL is for P&S, SLR should fit your 450D with kit lens. However, if you ever going to buy a bigger zoom, perhaps the SLR-ZOOM is a better deal.

Hi, I bought a mini pod to stick to my TZ7 to hold the camera while shooting video/still pictures as a stabilizer.
A gorilla pod is good for sticking in the car, bench with railings to hold the pod, etc. CP gorillas are easier to bend
than those selling elsewhere.

I'm using the SLR zoom. Got it at $90 from CP.

Would say its very firm. Stable and grip on railings, chairs are solid. Even twisted my D90 to an acute angle.

Each twist and turn is on its own.

Would recommend for food shots or table shots. I'm impressed.

i believe that Cathay photo is the sole agent for this product, so i guess you have to go there or get it online..

....got my gorilla focus from someone who brought it in fr US at 190.....it can be a struggle to twist it if fingers are not that strong....

that's what makes them hardy and tough i guess, you can get the cheapo and copy of gorilla pods too..lol. i am sure you can twist it anyway you want till it starts breaking off..

If slr get SLR zoom. Got budget then get the SLR focus.

Get the SLR Zoom would be better. There's the Gorilla Ball head with the bubble level for the SLR Zoom. Comes with a quick release plate too.
