Review on 📸 Joby GP1-A1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey): The Perfect Camera Companion for Ultimate Versatility by Brian Gopalan

I love photography and thought it would be nice to have one that I could use with both my new iPhone and my digital camera. I usually use a full sized tripod, but for random or unexpected events it's much easier to keep it close by and handy. But I suddenly found another great use for it with the iPhone. I love reading ezines and the news over breakfast and with the tripod it holds my phone at any angle I need for optimal viewing and can be made stable at any angle. I actually haven't had a chance to use it as a camera tripod, but I still use it every day. A very useful product. I've had this tripod for about 10 months now. I use it daily as I mentioned above and I found the ball joints were loose. Upon examining the tripod, I found that the insides of the hinges were cracked, causing them to come loose. In fact, I had to remove a few segments in order for the tripod to be used. I emailed the company and never got a response from them. It's such a useful tripod, but it shouldn't go bad. I initially gave it 5 stars but I only downgraded it to 2 because it doesn't hold up well. Now I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
