Title: Thought I'd use it a lot, but barely do
Review: I really wanted a mini tripod for my SLR, but I don't really like this gorillapod mostly for its (lack of) ease of use. It's more of an inconvenience to set up and get ready to use than I thought. Screwing it on is easy enough, but then the three flexible legs are hard to set up to make the camera sitting atop take a straight shot. Most likely your pic will be at least a little crooked. I haven't tried wrapping the tripod legs around a pole or something because I'm afraid it won't hold the weight of the SLR and slide down (but I'm sure it's designed to hold the weight of an SLR so it can do it -- just me not wanting to try). Basically, it seems like a pain and time consuming to set up and so I rarely, rarely want to use it.
Is the review positive or negative?
