     At £90 this is the biggest and strongest Gorillapod on the market, able to support camers up to an amazing 11 pounds. (5kg)  It only weights 1.1 pounds itself, so it can tuck, curl or fold away into your bag with ease. 

  • Sturdy machined aluminum sockets
  • Anodized gunmetal finish
  • Flexibility over 360° of rotation
  • Gorillapods are all the rage at the moment, opening new doors for creative, dynamics shots for both DSLR and Video Cameras.  The best bit about the gorillapods is that you’re forever finding new places to wrap the legs around giving you a whole new scope for shots and adding variety into your films and photos.
