I bought JOBY Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM.
I was looking around for a mini tripod to use with Canon EOS M3, and the JOBY Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM looked good, so I decided to buy it.
I bought Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM
Gorillapod is well known as a flexible tripod that can bend its legs freely.
What I purchased this time is one that is compatible with digital single-lens reflex cameras.
The appearance is solidly made.
The size is 250 x 60 x 60mm.
The ball joint is quite stiff.
The load capacity is 3kg.
You can feel safe with this.
Conversion screws are included and are compatible with both U3/8 and U1/4.
In my case, I don't need the conversion screw at the moment, so I think I'll lose it...
Set EOS M3.
It's perfectly stable.
You can also take vertical composition shots like this, but it might be easier to use a free head.
That's what I was thinking, and it looks like they are also selling a set with the free head.
I took a test shot on the pedestrian bridge.
I immediately grabbed the Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM and tried to take some test shots on a pedestrian bridge somewhere in Nagoya.
fixed to the parapet.
Of course, I was very careful not to fall.
And here is what I took. ↓
This is a photo taken with a shutter speed of 10 seconds and cropped.
Yes, I've always wanted to take a photo like this.
If you want to take photos like this with a laser beam, you'll need something to hold the camera in place.
Afterword
The product itself is really as expected, or I'm generally satisfied.
However, after actually using it, I realized that a free head is still necessary.
Without a free head, it would be very difficult to finely compose the shot after fixing the gorillapod (that's why I cropped it).
There seem to be many options for free heads other than genuine ones, but which one should I choose?
