Because many enthusiastic reviews I had decided on my Konpaktkamera for a light Gorillapods, and was initially thrilled by the idea. The pod basically works exactly as expected, but you must be the fact that the light version for compact cameras also easily gets into wobbling, especially by wind in the clear. In addition, it is also not as robust as for example, the Gorillapod SLR to feel when clasping the camera on a fence what I got after a few days, as some segments of an arm broken.
My recommendation therefore: Gorillapod yes, but also for compact cameras equal to one of the larger variants take that are more stable.
