I was super stoked when the box came. I opened it up. First sign of trouble — box says 2 adhesive adapter clips. Amazon says 2. Not good sign. Then I realized the universal camera adapter was also AWOL — unless I am miss understanding. There was something we were supposed to unscrew with a coin — but nothing like that was in my case. Lastly, I tried it on my Canon Rebel to see if it would work. Very weak. Barely supports it on a flat surface and could not support it on chair backs, cross bars, or bar-type handles. Only for very light phones / cameras.

Gave this item to my grandson for his iphone. He said it was the best gift he could have received. Loved it.

The iPhone case in the kit has an integrated clip for quick attachment/detachment with the Gorillapod. The case itself is a fairly thin shell with a rubberized finish, and can serve well as a permanent iPhone case.
The additional clips (one to screw into a camera’s tripod socket, and two with adhesive for universal use) are an added bonus. The Gorrillapod itself is small and light, so observe the manufacturer’s weight limits and verify that the setup is balanced and stable before leaving it to stand on its own.
I bought it primarily for holding my iPhone 3GS in a proper orientation for shooting time-lapse videos with an app called “ReelMoments”, and it fits the bill.

this thing is without a doubt the best tripod for the iphone. the case that comes with it is perfect. it’s not something you would use as a permanent replacement for your current case, though you could. it sort of clips on to the iphones edges. holds it very securely in place, i wouldn’t worry about the iphone coming loose and falling out. (as long as you’re not throwing baseballs at it.)
the other reviewer talks about missing pieces, however when mine came it had all the pieces that it mentioned, so there was no concern there. it’s very flexible, which allows you to put it almost anywhere. i just propped it up on top of a door to make a time lapse movie of me installing my new ‘bragada’ mattress, which also just came today.
all in all i’d say i’m pretty pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tripod for their iphone. the additional adapters will come in handy as well (nintendo ds/sony psp/any small camera or camcorder/flashlight, etc…)
