This week I’m enjoying a little holiday in Prague. Actually it’s not quite a holiday because I’m still finding time to work on this blog. I’m sure it’s really important that I let you know about this since so many people visit the blog all the time just to check out what I’m doing with Gorillapods at that time.
Anyway this is the first time I’ve taken my Gorillapod with me anywhere. On the first day though I completely forgot to take it out of the hotel room with me. It almost felt like taking photos would be a waste of time without the stability of a tripod which I could wrap around the railings on the edge of the river to zoom in on Prague Castle. Anyway the Gorillapods moment of glory will really be at night when getting a stable picture is more important so that the increased shutter time will not result in a blured image due to hand shakes while the image is being captured.
Of course all tripods do this same basic job but unless you’re using a Gorillapod, you will either have to carry a very large piece of equipment around with you or, if you use a minitripod, your photos may have to be taken from ground level if a flat surface cannot be found. It’s only with Gorillapods that you can you can attach your tripod to a railing, tree branch, sign post or support your camera on any surface, no matter how uneven.
So tomorrow I will definitely take the Gorillapod on all my journeys with me and I’ll put some pictures on here so you can see just how stable the camera was.
