When it comes to the latest gadgets, I’m not exactly what you would call savvy. So that’s why I really flipped when I came across this while surfing the web a few days ago. It is a Gorillapod flexible tripod by Joby. Maybe you’ve seen one before? I had not. But now that I have, I know I must get one. The big tripod I have is too heavy to lug around, and the small one I bought a few months ago tips over from the weight of my camera. The Gorillapod is flexible and rotates 360 degrees in any direction ~ it can be wrapped around just about anything, from a tree to a chair to a fence post ~ you name it. They even make one for DSLR cameras. (I don’t have one of those . . . yet.) This means no more silly arms length self portraits of the hubby and I when we go on vacation. I’m marking this one down, because when the holidays get here I will probably forget to put it on my wish list. Mom, Dad . . . I hope you’re reading.

I Need One of These!

I saw these back in May at Best Buy, when I was doing some camera shopping and they are pretty neat. At first I didn't know what they were and my husband just happened to come over and explain to me what they were and what they do. If only I had thought of this little invention first!
Hope you get one!
What a cool gadget! I have never seen one like it, and don't own any others... Hmmm, not a bad idea to add this to my wish list. :)
We got one. They are really cool.
Now, they won't keep a camera attached to a moving stroller (the bumpiness makes the camera gradually fall...doh...but the video was to bumpy to use anyways)...but it will keep it on about everything else I've tried.
