| Dec 20, 2013 at 3:44 | comment | added | Kartick Vaddadi | Regarding the suggestions about buying a remote controller, yes, that's on my shopping list. Thanks. But I'd prefer to keep the discussions separate. Let's assume for the purpose of this question that I don't have a remote controller. | |
| Dec 20, 2013 at 3:43 | comment | added | Kartick Vaddadi | @Pouya, I don't know what professional-level work is. Maybe that means I'm not doing professional-level work :) I recently upgraded from a point-and-shoot, in fact. But that's the reason I asked this question in the first place -- I want to know what I am missing. Could you expand on what you meant when you said professional-level work? Thanks. | |

One missing feature of Gorillapod is lack of tilt. You need to mount a head and it brings extra weight and eventually cause instability. Generally speaking, for professional level work you need a professional tripod. Side note: On a DSLR one important factor that helps with long exposures is mirror lock-up, but since you have a mirror-less, you don't need to be worried about.
