Equipment Analysis - Gorillapod

Gorillapod

A Gorillapod is a flexible tripod, consisting of many ball and socket joint, which allow the tripod to attatch to almost any object.

I like using this piece of equipment, due to how diverse it is, and the fact that it can attatch anywhere, allowing my filming to go one step further, and add another elemint to my filming, in terms of camera angles.

I have experimented in multiple different ways with the Gorillapod, attatching it to moving and static objects, such as the roof of my house, my car, a remote control car and a tree branch, to experiment with different camera angles and environments. The Gorillapod can also be used as a shoulder mount, with one leg fully extended, sat on the shoulder, and the other two with a slight bend, acting as the handles. This works as well as an actual shoulder mount. Obviously from below, when the camera is stable, there is no issue, however, when the camera is moving, there needs to be a smooth surface, and little camera movement, as there is a lack of quality in the video and of the footage.
