Thanks to
a triggerhappy post a few months ago I had been tempted for a wee while.
Today Mr. FedEx Man delivered me the biggest gorillapod (
SLR Zoom). It is still titchy though and can fit in the pocket of my fleece as well as no problems inside camera bag. Also- it is as light as a feather! I read the specs for dimensions but glossed over the wieght cos I just know tripods are big and heavy and awkward. But it is lovely.
Also different to other mini-tripods I've tried in that it actually seems more stable with more weight on it.
Hopefully the sun will go away later so I have an excuse to wrap it around some tree or lampost rather than the back of my chair...
Also the perfect accesory for going on photo shoots with non-snappers as they can stave off boredom & have hours of fun with "is that your joby?".
