The humble tripod is dead. We dare say it again: dead.

Trust us: unless lugging around 5-10 pounds of bulky photo gear is your idea of a good time, this is a decidedly good thing.

The Original Gorillapod has been a fave since it was first released -- the fun and pocketable tripod supports a Point & Shoot camera just like a mini version of a traditional tripod. But bend its tentacle-like arms it'll stand on uneven surfaces, wrap around poles, tree branches, or railings, and grab onto nearly any object in sight. Try that with your tripod!

Suddenly, impossible angles, vacation photos with everyone in them, sharp-as-a-tack long exposures... all become possible.

Now SLR owners can share in the elegant, imminently practical beauty of the Original Gorillapod with its recently released big brother, the Gorillapod SLR Zoom!

With strength befitting the largest of the primates, the Gorillapod SLR Zoom can support a camera with a zoom lens and flash, up to a whopping 6.6 pounds. And it weighs only half a pound itself! Super-strong moldable arms keep your SLR securely positioned, even when hanging from tree branches or on park benches.

Your SLR is big enough as it is. Ditch your creaky old tripod and travel light (and flexible) with a Gorillapod SLR.
