It's surprising how much a light aluminium tripod will bend in gusts of wind. Which will wobble a camera on top. Gorilla pods are designed to sit on ground like regular tripods or wrap around a structure like a pole. They aren't particularly rigid, as they are designed to bend. But they can sometimes be better than nothing. | |
