Aaargh, broke my Gorilla Pod! - 130220081817

Broke my GorillaPod last week bicycling up Clark Park, aaargh. What should I do ? Buy the SLR sized GorillaPod (and use it with my N95 and N93, I wouldn't tempt fate and use with my Canon 20D) or buy a proper bicycle mount? Or hack my own mounting system (e.g. from MAKE and Mark Boyd)

Don't have much spare $ and not much mechanical aptitude so leaning towards the former!

Could somebody tell me how durable the SLR GorillaPod is?

I have used the bigger GorillaPod and it worked fine, but I wonder, since the smaller one broke, is the bigger one any better?

Hi Roland,

 

Great blog!

 

I use the Gorillapod with my Flip Video Camera for my Video Blog and it works great. I love it for shooting around town to get good backgrounds. 

 

Mine's getting a bit loose, but I know what it will do, so I'm good.

 

Thanks!

 

Mike
