After first reading about Gorillapods here a long time ago, I always wanted one, though I found it difficult to find a decent one in South Africa. Finally, when I did get it, I didn't seem to have much use for it, so it just sat around, lonely and neglected. Until today.
The bird in my wildlife entry is one of a pair living in our garden.
A few weeks ago she laid eggs in our garden, and today they hatched. I was struggling to get decent photos through my bedroom window, with the burglar bars getting in the way, and my zoom reach not really being good enough to get anything that showed the babies well. Then I thought of video. The position was such that I could never have used a conventional tripod, but thanks to Gorillapod, I was able to leave the video camera to do its work for a couple of hours unattended. Now I just have to work out how to edit the video down to just the decent bits.
