I'm a big fan of using the self timer function on my camera but ever tried to find the perfect spot to rest your camera & then race back to the group to get into the picture, only to find out all your heads are cut off because you didn't quite get your camera in the right position on the rock you had to use?! The Gorillapod by Joby is seriously the coolest invention ever. Just connect to the bottom of your camera and attach it to almost anything to get that the perfect shot. With the same concept as a tri-pod, the Gorillapod creates a stable place to rest your camera, only it can travel on any adventure your attempting. Comes in different sizes and colors to fit all your camera needs. I'm so excited about this, I just keep looking for different places to try to hook my Gorillapod on:) We have a red Gorillapod original to giveaway!

You are right ,it is so hard to find a place to set a camera up and get a good shot.
This looks so cool. I love the Tree shot,that they have on the website. I would definitely try that at my moms house so we can get a good picture of me and her and my new stepfamily.
The Red one is my favorite color. Black is cool and green is cool too:)

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen! So many places to put it...I think I would have to put it from our backyard balcony and take a good family picture from above.
heatherlw@gmail.com
This looks like such a cool product. I would use it at the park. It is hard to find a spot to set down a camerea to take a picture there. I like all the colors, but green is my favorite.

Hello, Oh I'd so love one of those, I was just telling my husband about getting a tripod the other day to get stable shots. I'd use mine on the tree branches outside in the yard as I've got so many hard branched trees that could stand it. What a great invention lagrande2tall4u@hotmail.com
This is so cool! I'd love to put it on any irregular surface anywhere and everywhere!! It's also so hard to find a good place to set up a tripod! This solves most problems! COOL! I love it in WHITE!

I would use this on my picnic table and try to take some shots of the birds as they fly to the feeders. I like the black one.
Thanks!
1bmore @ gmail . com
I would definately use my Gorillapod on my front porch so I could film my birds at the bird feeders! I would also choose the Gorillapod in the color blue. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I would put this on my patio deck outside. We have a lot of wildlife in back of the deck, so this would be perfect!
I've been dreaming of getting one of these. I'd love to try it out at one of our local attractions, Shoshone Falls. The scenery there is amazing, and the photo ops would be endless with one of these babies!
jenzanelli@gmail.com
Next time I am at the Acropolis in Athens I would use it to get another picture of my husband and me with the city in the background.
I love this! You would think that I never existed because I take all of the pictures and am never in any. I would attach it to the handle of my stroller so I could take pictures of our family when we go to the beach. I would choose the black.

I just love taking pictures of anything and everything. the gorillapod would come in handy so many times when my big tripod is too big. I love to camp and take group shots. when i do i set up my self timer, so i too can be in the pic and usually i've fogotten my tripod, so i have to use the picnic table,if i win the gorillapod, i could use it in place of the table. my favorite color is red, so i'd have to say i'd love to win a red one! thanks!
I like the green and would use it on all our Brownie outtings. I love to take group pictures of the girls everywhere we go.
I like the pink or the green colors the most (probably green since it would be for my husband!!
megankunzphoto@yahoo.com
I've been wanting one of these! Just got the awesome camera and need a flexible tripod!
I like the gun metal aluminum finish - how cool is that?
I'd use it attached to my saddle horn to capture our trail ride in the snow from my horse's view!
That is so cool! I have a camera and I try to hold it in certain places and it is so difficult! I would love the red one!
I love the red especially. I think I would mount it somewhere in the car facing the back, so I could snap pictures of my four little kiddos and have some kind of proof for my husband of how the REALLY act while we are in the car! ha ha ha.
How cool! I would use this at the park so I could get good shots of myself with the kids! I like the black one!
I think my DH would love this! I think the orange would be fun. :-D I subscribe to your blog via bloglines. jemgirlca at gmail dot com
I like the black. I would use this at family get togethers.
My three active boys and my clever hubby built a wood tree house. I could put the cool gorillapod up in the treehouse. I coould shoot the kids playing and of course the fat squirrels and winter birds.
Thanks for such a neat giveaway.
Terri
teraustin@mindspring.com
anywhere and everywhere- this would be so convenient instead of a luggy tripod blue or gunmetal
I am CONSTANTLY having the cut off heads problem by trying to guess if we're in the picture or not. This would be AWSOME! My fav color is the black/white. But the green is pretty cool too :)

I love the fact you can wrap it around a tree, I would love to try that. I would also wrap it around our playhouse outside, that would make great pictures! I would love to win this, good luck to all. I love the red color the most, nice and bright and would go with some of the stitching in my camera bag.
Thanks for the great giveaway.
ann dot guns at mac dot com
Oh wow. I would use this everywhere. On the back of the car, on a tree, on a fence, the mailbox, the clothesline. I really need one of these. Love the Red.

I think I just like the black and white one. And as far as where I would use it...there are so many places and times. My husband and I were out looking at Christmas lights last week and it would have really come in handy as I wish we could have taken a little family picture.

What an excellent product! Seriously, I wish I'd thought of it. The first thing I'd do when I got it would be to wrap it around a few high surfaces--a tree branche, the blades of a ceiling fan--and get some interesting bird's eye and aerial shots. If I had to choose, I think I'd like it in pink.

I like the green Gorillapod. It'd be awesome to use in places where there is nothing flat for your camera to be stable on. This would be great to use on places where there are only handrails or fences (ie: zoos).
I am a subscriber!
Would be great to take with me when I go hiking ~ tripods are too big and bulky to hike with. I love the green one!
These are perfect! I love the pink one!! I would try it on new things everytime the camera came out which is almost everyday!! summrob1@aol.com
I am a subscriber! summrob1@aol.com
Pink for me. Love it. lvwyattfamily@cox.net
These are defintitely too cool! I was just thinking I needed a tripod for my camera. I like the red one! beccagwin@cox.net
I've never seen anything like this...it's awesome! I've been meaning to take some rock climbing and ski pictures of my family (we're in Colorado) and this would be the most wonderful addition to our outings! It's so compact that you can take it anywhere...and I would take it EVERYWHERE. I'd get some great upside-down rock climbing shots that I think would look wicked!
No one specific place to use this, but on any trip I've always run into the problem of setting down the camera and of course its too low or too high - this would be great! And I like the red one.
This is a real neat idea to be used everywhere! Red is my favorite
elyaklang@hotmail.com
I'd love to use it for my upcoming trip to the Bay Area. I feel so bad asking passerby to take a picture that all of our family photos are incomplete. This would be such a great way to solve our problem! (Oh, and I love red).

I would use the Gorillapod on the boat, the deck of the pool or even in the Christmas tree! I would hang it from the ceiling fan if there was no other place to mount for a picture I needed to take. What a fabulous invention! I love it! As far as a color? It's so hard to choose. Being a lady of fashion-I'd want all of them :-). But my favorite is the green.
I would wrap it around the nearest sign I could find at whatever tourist attraction I happen to be. I like the blue one best. Thanks for the giveaway!

Wow, this would be so great! I'm never in our family vacation pics, cause I'm always the one taking the pics. This would make things easier! I could put it on the stroller and get a good beach shot!
The green is my favorite!!
What a cool produdct. I take photos every single day of my garden, house, kids, things around me. I can think of a million places to use this handy invention! I want it!
donnac36@comcast.net
I have actually been looking at these they are neat I would use it taking still potraits
hanging from a tree branch to photograph the back yard

coldtothecore@hotmail.com
in the huge field behind my house to get shots of wildlife like the red
I'd love to try this on my car's mirror as I sometimes take pictures while driving around in the car! Would love the red and black one! thanks for the giveaway! sierramuse8@aol.com.
i'd use the gorillapod at the park to get some snazzy nature forest like pics of me and the hubby.
and the color i'd like is green. the color of hope. thanks
Very cool product, I would use it at the river so we could all be in pictures together. I like the pink!
I could use the gorilla pod ( in black) next time we go to Yosemite.
i'm digging the red and pink ones. i'd put this on the trees on my teams rugby pitch and take pics of us playing
Christina - xristya@rock.com - I like the Red Gorillapod (what a great idea! Although I'd call it the Octopod!) and I would use it outdoors - I'm always trying to take self-portraits or photos of myself outdoors and can rarely get the camera in the right spot, still - but Gorillapod will do the trick!
I am an e-mail subscriber.
i would love the black one!!
black for me... merry xmas. I love cameras. yay!
I cool place I would use a Gorillapod would be my bicycle handlebars. And I like the color yellow best.
This would be fantastic to hook to the fence a safe distance from the pool to protect the camera from water and get great action shots of the kids.ashlyn@chuparkoff.com -Love the green one.
We hike a lot, so definitely on trees so we can get some group shots. I like the Green.
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
iwould use it when we travel it would steady many a great photo black would be good
I like the green and I would use it on our trail system here in Austin. Thanks!
I would set it up near my front door so we could catch our friends and loved ones coming and going. I like the Pine Green, thanks for a great giveaway!
Yesterday morning I woke up to find my kitten lying in the Christmas Tree I would like to catch the action of what actually happens at night, I have a feeling it is a CAT party (we have 3), I would put the gorillapod in the tree, or on the curtain rod to catch all of the action. I would like PINK.
rmc1ra at aol dot com
I would suspend it from my balcony, and take a shot from above, with the ocean in the background.
I like the black and white one.
I like the blue one. This looks like a fantastic idea. We were on vacation in Tennessee this year and wanted to get some pictures of the 2 of us. We tried to find tree branches or something somewhere to set the camera on. The gorillapod would have been fantastic to have. This is on my Christmas wish list!
I would probably use it at the park. I really love the design and would actually use it alot. I love the green one.
i like the blue one. this would come in so handy when our dog yoshi, walks around the house with a piece of jerky in his mouth like a cigar.
Now that is a handy device! I would use it all the time taking pictures of the kids so I could be in the picture to. I would wrap it onto the fence in the back yard, or around the equipment at the park, the possibilities are endless. The black is nice but the Limited Edition! Pine Green
is very cool
I love the black one for photos my jewelry
These are fab! I'd use it outside to get a decent family pic - still haven't taken our family pic for Christmas. lol
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh and I like the green.
Robin
cokelush at gmail
wow! that gizmo would make it 100% easier to take pics of oneself doing various things. what a good idea!
Great idea, we could find a lot of ways to use this.
I think the red one is cool. THis would be great for setting up pictures outside or indoors where there isnt a flat surface to attach a camera to.
crutnacker@gmail.com
I would love to use this for our boy scout outings. This would be fabulous. I like the pine green. Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net

I would put this on the deck to take pictures of the deer roaming in the back year. I like the green one
I like the green one the best! I think I would try it out at the park playground :)

I like the pine green tri-pod the best. I would use it to hold my camera steady while taking family photos of our kids annual talent show. Love the product. I have never seen it before.
I like the green color-this would be nice for outdoor shots, I would put it on a tree branch
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com

My fave is the gray Gorillapod, this would be so useful when we're in the park or garden to take family photos.
This is the answer to some many of my picture taking problems. This would be used EVERYWHERE, especially places i could wrap the legs of it around stuff. So cool.
I'm emailing all my friends about this!
i need help taking pictures, looks like live action everytime
I would use it on the fence in the back yard to get steady shots of small animals.
I like the Blue color! It's so hard to find someone willing to stop and take a shot this way everyone gets in the picture at once, I love it!
I love the blue one and I would use it for my camera too
I like the basic black. I'd enjoy using it outdoors hanging from a tree.
The "cool" place I'd take it to is Niagara Falls in the winter. The black-gray matches our camera. Love that they offer eco-packaging.
i like the blue one and would love to use it off my apatment window to get a nice aeriel shot. thanks! yyeres at gmail dot com
I would set the gorillapod in my back yard so I could take pictures of my dogs while they are playing alone. I like the black one.
Now this is really cool! I'm thinking of all the places that I could put it. It could go on the mast of the sailboat, on a tree limb, on the deck, the flag pole and probably hundreds of other places. We would have fun using this!
I like the green and black one the most.
I keep it in my van and use it on my side window to help keep steady any shots that may look interesting. The black is my favorite color.
I would keep it in my purse since my camera never leaves it to take pictures anywhere I am. I like all the colors honestly so Im not to picky on what color but if I had to choose red is my fave color!
amzonwmn_us@yahoo.com

Not entering but we have one of these and IT'S AWESOME. whoever wins will LOVE IT!
My hubby just got one of these. But I'd love to win for my sister who is becoming quite the photographer.
I think it would be fun to use during her husband's concerts. She can get some great shots.
These little guys are great ... stabilizing and prehistoric looking.
I would gift my son with this, he is an avid skateboarder and since I am not *allowed* at the park to watch him, I have no photos of his boarding exploits.
I like the green one.
6thatsme@live.com
I would use it anywhere I could to include myself in group photos! I like the grey.
heyhazelhazel[at]gmail.com
I like the black. I'd definitely use it when hiking.
I like black best.
I could see using it around the apartment building and also on vacation. We travel down the coast and there are lots of photo ops.
Oh this would be perfect for my mom who is always taking pictures so she's never in them, lol. I'm sure she'd find all kinds of creative places to use it like on trees, banisters, etc. Pink would match her camera. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
Would use it at the beach, black would be great

Thanks for the giveaway!
pumpkinlady430@yahoo.com
These things are so cool. A lot of times when we are traveling, there's no good place to put the camera for a remote shot. The legs being flexible would also allow it to take up a little less space in the suitcase.
Off hand, I could see taking pictures from the front of the boat with it's legs wrapped around the bow cleats.
I think the red one is my favorite color.
I would take this everywhere, expectually on hikes, and to this cool rock garden that I like, it has really big rocks you can climb on and there is a river and waterfall. Thanks for entering me. I like the pink or red.
I would use it at the zoo. My favorite color is yellow.
black one we live on a farm so the fence would be great
Wow could I use this! My hubby doesn't like to take pictures, so if you look at our family photo album, you would think I don't exist..lol!
Whenever my boyfriend and I travel, we are always trying to set up the camera because we don't want to ask strangers to take a picture of us. This would be awesome to help with that! Red is my favorite.
catss99@yahoo.com, amanda
I would use it on our spring vacation. I like the gunmetal color.
I'm subscribed to your RSS feed!
This would be great for outdoor family pics. I want the red one!
amynhtown@yahoo.com
I would use this to take pictures and videos almost everywhere ,inside and outside. I love the red gorillapod. Thank you
I am a huge fan of pink, so that's the color I would choose. I just recently moved to Arizona and would love to get some great shots of Sedona. The red rock is beautiful. I'd also love to take some shots in Vegas.
rasberryswrlgirl@hotmail.com
I'd use it with my grand kids
use with the grand kids
I like the red Gorillapod, but any of the colors would make me happy. I'd use the Gorillapod to take a picture of our family at the next hockey game we go to.

I like the pink Gorillapod and I think it'd be great to use on a trail to take a picture of us sitting on a nice flat rock.
i like the red one, it would be great to take of my kids in the bakc yard!

I love the red one.

We live in hawaii so I would love to use this to take a picture of us after we hike up to the top of Diamondhead. This thing is so cool!
I would pick green!

I always wanted one of these tripods. What a great idea. Whenever I try to take a family picture, I can never find a good place to put the camera so the entire family can be in the shot! This beats asking a stranger to take the picture. Its great to use anywhere!
Neat Idea! I think Yellow Gorillapod would be great!
COOL! I would use it on tree branches, railings, and anywhere I can think of. I'd love to win the White one. Thanks!

How cool, I'd have fun finding new places to use it, anywhere with an overlooking view would be great. I like the white color, purple would be even better but red is nice.

I take a few pictures at a cemetary once a year. I'd use itm there. I like the red one best.

My husband would love to have this to take some creative photos. I think he would like Pine Green the most.
I would use the gorilla pod to get cool angles of my college campus - up on a fence or out of windows looking down on the quad. I love the red, to match my camera, of course!
I would put it on the front of our boat for some fun action shots. I like the green.
WOuld use this on our upcoming trip to Disneyland!! I like the red one.
