Larger cameras would require a different model such as the Gorillapod Focus. The camera stays connected with a slim-line quick release clip, which is in turn kept in place by a lockring mechanism to ensure it stays secure. Special iPhone attachment clips are also available, and, a magnetic version of this tripod called Gorillapod Magnetic is also sold for an extra three dollars which has Neodymium magnetic feet which further extends the mounting possibilities. Otherwise it is identical to the original.

#joby_gorillapod_original There are three sizes, i have the middle size.
Excellent for Point and shoot, i would imagine the smallest one would work well for most PnS now a days too.
If you have a DSLR i recommend the largest of the 3.
My middle sized one works ok with my DSLR, but since i have an 18-200 lens it has trouble holding it all up when zooming.
