For the M/C photog

[sweptwingnut]

Most of us like to take pictures of our riding journeys. Camera gear and all the goodies that go with often take a lot of space. Here is a Linky (http://www.joby.com/products/gorillapod/) to a handy little gadget that will help you get those difficult shots and not take up a lot of space in your panniers.

That is insane. I think I need to move to a border town and start receiving Canadian goods. Then once a week I could fill my panniers and do a delivery run. Think the folks at the border would catch on? :whistling:

[Lucky_Devil]

I have my REI dividend check to spend. hmmm

I got mine as well... it's burnin' a hole in my pocket as we speak :D:

[KCDakar]

I got mine as well... it's burnin' a hole in my pocket as we speak :D

I just wish there was one closer to me so I didn't have to pay for shipping....:o:

[jfike]

so here's mine! got it today

[Lucky_Devil]

I got one today too :ecstasy:

Mine is green though.

[sweptwingnut]

That is a way cool idea to mount up your camera jfike! Maybe Hayduke can upgrade from his ductape model to one of these. Pink of course,,,,to match his horn.:lol:

[ridingAK]

I want one too! Oh well, I will be patient.

[Luna Tique]

Please post a report on them once you have had a chance to play with it a bit. I am interested but am thinking about holding out for a Helmet Cam. Once they are perfected

[jfike]

my hubby was giving me grief about it being pink. at least i know he won't steal it from me!

Unless his name is Hayduke...:hiding:

[ridingAK]

I got mine with my REI dividend! Now I need to go riding!

[KCDakar]

I got mine with my REI dividend! Now I need to go riding!

And take pics with it too!:lol:

[Luna Tique]

Pictures Always need those :D: and please give us a review. Let us know what you think after you've had a chance to use it a few times.

[ridingAK]

I can hardly wait! It works well in the house on the kitchen counter, but that isn't really putting it t a relevant test. As SOON as I can get out I will let you know.

[Lucky_Devil]

So far, I'm kind of disappointed with mine... it doesn't want to hold my camera up. It keeps bending under the weight, even though my camera is below the recommended weight for it :(: If I can't get it to work properly, it may be returned to REI.

But it looked so cool!:chin:

What size did you get? Mine is the second largest, because I was afraid of what you are saying. I'm also concerned that with use it will loosen up too much to work. Only time will tell. :shrug:

[Lucky_Devil]

I got the smallest one, because my camera's weight fell within the range that one is supposed to work for. But now I'm wondering if my cameras "official" weight is sans battery... which may bump it's overall weight up over the recommended weight for the gorillapod.

I thought I told you it wouldn't work with that 6 volt lantern battery?:lol:

I looked at that one, but it did look pretty light. I figured I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks (I had the 20% off coupon that came with my dividend) and get a heavier duty model.

I came across this while shopping for a completely unrelated item, but thought it was very clever and would come in handy for moto-photogs:

Very compact and easy to take along on rides... :popcorn1:

[jfike]

my gorillapod doesn't look like it will work on the bandit:gaah:

and i sold the klr:mghissyfit:

[ridingAK]

For a smaller camera that looks like a great alternative. :thumbup: You can't beat the portability, and pretty much everyone carries water along.

[KCDakar]

So LD are you going to get one and test it for us?
