Interesting tripod...

Saw this tripod... I thought it might be useful for those who use a benchtop setup...

Yes, gorilla-pods are great. Not only are they stands but you can wrap them around tree branches, sign posts, etc to hold the camera up for "odd location" shots.

The idea of those things fascinates me, but the one in the link will only support 9.7 ounces. I'm not sure I even have a lens that light.[:0]

This one is supposed to support 6.6 pounds. http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GP3-01EN-Gorillapod-SLR-Zoom-Flexible/dp/B000KFRSG4/ref=dp_variations_2 and this one is supposed to support 1.75 pounds http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GP2-00EN-Gorillapod-Flexible-Digital/dp/B000HAVVFG/ref=dp_variations_1
