It was an excellent companion. It worked great for night photos in .

Bought for a week long tour of Italy. It was an excellent companion. It worked great for Venice night photos. I was able to comfortably wrap the Joby around the bridge railing for long exposures. These bridges were over channels so I was a little nervous, but after checking all the screws I was happy with the Joby's durability. I paired it with a Canon 7D and a 24-104 lens, a very nice setup. I was able to get a 30 second exposure with no blur or vibration. At almost every photo shoot in Venice, I noticed other travelers with large tripods. Almost everyone has tested that the much smaller and lighter Joby gets the job done. I highly recommend this, much more durable than the original Joby. Just make sure you check all the screws before hanging the camera over the duct! I posted a picture with 30 second exposure.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • expensive
