Wandering through a local camera store the other day I found a gadget that I just couldn't pass up. The "Gorillapod" by Joby is designed to allow you to set up a camera (or other external device such as a flash) in creative places where you couldn't normally or easily place a tripod. Click here to go to the Joby Gorillapod web-site for more information. The Gorillapod comes in several different sizes -- including the original for lightweight SLR / point and shoot camera as well as the SLR zoom model that will hold up to 6.6 pounds! How cool is that?

I can't wait to try mine this weekend!
