Carrying capacity not as promised

For small digital cameras up to 250 grams of the Joby Gorillapod Magnetic is fully sufficient. Although the carrying capacity is estimated at up to 325 g, the stand makes for an unfavorable weight distribution with Digicam, filter adapter and polarizing filters already at 320 g with the stability with bent leg joints limp, though from a technical perspective usually always a 1.5 safety factor is taken into account and in practice, therefore, up to 400 g should be possible in every case.
So beware, when more than 250 g on the tripod should.
For the Canon SX220HS it was full enough.
In a magnetic fastening on a vertical rod it is very difficult because of a lack of ball head, align the digicam horizontally.
As a lightweight small holiday / travel tripod, it is to use well. The magnetic feet I find ideal as when shooting at night lampposts, signposts or other surfaces made of steel are available most anywhere.
