Review: Joby GorillaPod 

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

  • White (as shown on video)
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Green
  • Pink
  • Blue 
  • Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!

In this video I unbox my brand new Canon Rebel T2i, which I picked up on Cyber Monday for about $550. As it is my first DSLR, I am very excited to use this camera from here on forward for all of my photography and video needs. Look forward to more HD videos on my YouTube channel.

Canon Rebel T3i Test Images/Videos - 3 Weeks Later

After using the Canon Rebel T3i (600D) for about three weeks, here are my thoughts on photo and video quality. Overall, I love this camera and can't wait to experience expandability as I build a lens collection. Included are some test images and 1080p HD test footage.



Thanks for watching as always! If you have any specific questions regarding this camera or its quality, feel free to create some discussion in the comments and I will get back to you!

Unboxing: Canon EOS Rebel T3i (600D/Kiss X5)

Nearly three years after unboxing my Canon EOS Rebel XSi, I now bring to you the unboxing of my brand spanking new Canon EOS Rebel T3i. With the T3i comes the 18-55mm EF-S kit lens. I plan to purchase a EF 50mm in the near future.



Thanks so much for watching and keep your eyes peeled for much more T3i related content in the coming weeks! If there are any tutorials you would like to see, feel free to ask! This camera will be used mainly for filmmaking but I want to begin doing wedding photography again as well.
