    Hey guys,

    Got a canon g11 from my girlfriend. Have a sturdy Monfrotto from dSlrs but was wondering if anyone could recommend a good durable, compact and light tripod that's handy for traveling.

    Cheers gezzajax,

    Read this on dpchallenge. Should be fine for a g11 though.

    The trouble is it doesn't offer the rigidity needed for the SLR it claims to support. We tried it on a Nikon D70 (not the heaviest SLR around) and there was a lot of residule bounce and vibration from the Gorillapod's structure. You can just about get around this by waiting for it to settle down using a 10secs self timer, but this is far from ideal. Also when wrapped around an object the weight of the camera tended to pull it downwards, making it annoying to use..."
