A good use for a gorilla-pod

[FsNovice]

Just has my 17th - got this really cool new bit of camera gear that i thought i'd show off here. Its called a gorillapod and in essence it's a very very flexible tripod that can attach itself to most places. I thought i'd try it as a platform to take photos whilst riding my bike.

It may look slapdash but it was surprisingly stable and still moveable whilst riding

Two of the images i managed to take with this contraption

Comments welcome

PS: forewarning i will be uploading some photos from a recent trip to Rwanda(i'll limit myself to two threads i promise )

Now run in video mode and see how it makes you feel, on a day when the weather keeps you indoors and you can re-live a ride........

Been looking at getting one of these cunning contraptions. Haven't managed yet to prise the money out of my wallet, but they're very clever!

Nice bike BTW, I used to race a GT Avalanche myself, albeit an older one than that.

I have one and used it on my digital rebel.  It works great as long as you have a lightweight lens.

One word of advice:  Be gentle, they break easily
