Heh These Look pretty whacky.

http://www.joby.com/gp​2.html I was just browsing around the web and saw this, What a crazy little tripod. Anyone ever tried one? looks like something I would buy and use once tho

Well, there overpriced for one
And i doubt they could hold a DSLR with anything other than the kit lens

Yeah, they're cool for different angles with point and shoots, but I wouldn't trust them with my slrs.

There is some usefull information about the SLR zoom but there is a lot of bashing like anything new. One person does have it and posted some pictures using it.

Well they have one called the SLR Zoom that can hold 6.6 pounds

That is a XT with 70

I think they're just too goofy..

They do look funny, but I read a review in one of my photography magazines (don't remember which one) that really praised these things. I guess they are coming out with a Pro version that will hold more weight. I can't think of a situation where I would use one.

hey brad thanks for the link never knew it was already discussed here should of really searched it!.

I think they could be handy if you just want to snap with out having a massive tripod but then i think i will just end up chucking it somewhere and never seeing it again just like my lensbabie.

I don't think I could trust it with my dSLR. Maybe my P&S though; but why bother with all that setup if you're using a P&S?

Looks like something that would sneak up on you at night and strangle you in your comatose sleep, boyo.
