Bend me, shape me

Bend me, shape me

Lori Grunin Senior Editor / Advice
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

PMA 2006 - CNET covers the show
Gumby meets photography: that's the concept behind Joby's Gorillapod, a tabletop tripod with stiff yet flexible legs that can wrap around objects when a flat surface isn't available. Though the company is officially unveiling the Gorillapod at PMA, I've had one since CES. It's been of limited usefulness for me, since the current model can hold only compact cameras, but it seems like a well-thought-out tool, right down to the tiny quick-release platform.

And even if you don't need its flexible legginess, it makes a great desk toy.
