I was looking for a bridge camera tripod, which is light and small to easily carry on a hike. The Gorillapod GP2 is an ideal compromise in terms of lightness, compactness and maneuverability. It clings to many substrates (trees, poles ...) safe for the camera and is stable on most courses. Rapid fixation is really convenient and integrated level allows to always check horizontality pictures. Negative: no integrated rotating system which makes it difficult panorama taking.
