OK, so it's not a proper Manfrotto tripod and you probably need something to rest it on that's higher than the ground - such as a wall, fence or post - but that's the point of this little gadget, isn't it?

Anybody who rates this low because it is not as sturdy as a proper tripod has missed the point. It isn't intended as a replacement or only means of supporting a camera (although it probably does that job for a point & shoot camera).

For an SLR user this is a handy addition for use in the field when a tripod would have been just too much extra weight or bulk to carry around - imagine backpacking with a bloody great bundle of metal sticks on your back? I thought not.

This will fit into most people's camera bag or day rucksack and adds less than a kilo to their kit.

I just recieved one as a Chrsitmas present and haven't had a chance to properly test it out, but the legs are far stiffer than I imagined they could be and I have changed my mind about it being far too expensive.

The original Gorillapod that I had played with in shops felt like they couldn't take a digital SLR, but this version certainly is sturdy and steady - especially if you use a remote release (or are gentle with the button).

I'll update this review once I've got a couple of dozen photos under it's belt.

Awesome! :) just got it today for my Nikon D40 and it's better that I thought it would be! Very good for the price people shouldn't be put off by it and it's also really good for other SLR cameras! ^_^

A Real Bargain, 2008-09-11
I was looking for a tripod to take on holiday (alpine walking in Switzerland), so wanted something small & light whilst still being sturdy enough to hold a DSLR rock-steady. Also wanted to avoid those piddley travel tripods that stand a maximum of 15cm tall, and mean that you're either constantly looking for a conveniently situated wall to put the thing on, or you're crawling on your hands and knees just to look through the viewfinder.
The VCT-R100 fulfilled every one of my requirements; It is basic as tripods go, but strikes the perfect balance between size/weight and portability/practicality. And I can still barely believe it was less than £20. Bargain.

Excellent for D-SLR Photography, 2008-08-22
I bought this for my Sony A300 D-SLR, and must say yet agian I'm impressed by Sony's products. The height this tripod reaches is great! I'm 6'4" and only have to bend slightly to use the view finder. One great feature is the detachable lock that you attach your camera too. This has a quick release mechanism that allows you to quickly detach your camera if you see something that you simply must snap!

One slight quibble was that when the tripod was fully extended it didn't seem as stable, there was a slight shake with a strong wind, but for the price I can put up with that!

Very sturdy tripod. I'm an amateur just getting into photography and this will last me a very long time.

Has a nice finish to it.

Excellent tripod great price, 2008-11-09
As an enthusiastic amateur on a photographic course I wanted to give this tripod a good tryout before leaving feedback. Well I have just returned from a trip to an extremely wet and windy Kew Gardens and can say that the tripod was far more solid, adaptable and easier to use than others I have owned. Two people on the trip have asked me to forward details to them. Excellent tripod great price.

Looks good feels good. Quality , 2008-11-29
If you can imagine Action Man in the 1920s and he's just about to film Charley Chaplin with his hand cranked camera, and if this tripod were made of wood it would be the exactly the right size, if you see what I mean.

This compact tripod is made of metal, feels good, looks good and is a quality piece of kit.
With free delivery it took about 4 days to arrive, brilliant.
