A big thanks to those who have already followed and entered. Get your friends to follow and blog about it and we can reach the 100 quicker so hopefully the winner can have the stand before Christmas! Yay for extra presents!
And for those of you who have absolutely no idea what I am on about, here is the competition:
Camera Stand - 100 Follower Giveaway!
First of all I am going to review/show you my gorilla pod camera stand, and then one of you lucky folk can win one!
So... Those of you who know anything about cameras will hopefully have seen these Gorillapod stands as they have become pretty popular these days. I bought mine on that little known site called eBay! I got it pretty cheap compared to what they can go for so I was happy with that! They have different weight limits for different types of cameras, but I went for the heavy duty DSLR version just to make sure my camera was never dropped! I must admit that using it at first was a little bit scary. Putting your faith into something that has your camera holding onto a tree was pretty scary, but it really does hold on well!
Now
I take it everywhere with me when I go out shooting as it's light and
can really be used anywhere. Plus if I'm doing some macro shots of
things on the ground I just whack my camera onto self timer on the stand
and there is zero wobble in the photo, brilliant! Also if out and about
with nowhere to put the camera, I can still take photos of me and my
girlfriend. I actually did this on holiday with the camera resting on a
steep hill in the middle of a bush, it actually worked!
One
issue with the stand is that it isn't very tall so obviously if you
want to have an eye level stand this isn't the one for you unless you
find something high up to hang it on, but if you want to go exploring in
the woods or on some walks then it is ideal as it is reasonably small
and light, and can be used anywhere!
It comes with a 1/4" adaptor so for most modern cameras it fits, and can fit compacts aswell as DSLRs. If you have a camera with a 3/8" mount an adaptor has been supplied with it so yours can fit on too! yay!
Here are some photos showing you what it can do. Now, I apologise for the quality, these have just been taken on my iPhone in my dark bedroom, so they are grainy and rubbish, but they do show what the stand is capable of!
