Tried it out on my Nex 5n and found it on the heavy side.

I may keep the video one for the kids, and keep watching for either the SLR, SLR Zoom or the Hybrid model to go on sale. Reply With Quote

Nov 18th, 2012 11:48 PM #19As in the camera was too heavy for the Joby? That's bad news if so, since my Nex-7 is even heavier and I like to use old Pentax prime lenses via adapter, and they are solid metal and glass... Originally Posted by samm

Nov 19th, 2012 01:09 AM #20Yeah. The camera (5N & 18-55) feels too heavy for the Gorrilapod, especially the headend. Tried attaching it to an arm chair and you can see it slowly see it tilting. It's definitely front heavy, so you gotta have 2 legs infront and 1 in the rear. Originally Posted by Captain Snazzypants

It's good to get the magnetic version if you can. The magnets in the feet are really strong - I've found that it can cling to even a single screw on a vertical wall while holding a pocket camera.
I'm not sure I'd want to take a chance on a cheap knock-off. Everything depends on the strength of the cable through the middle of the leg and the wear resistance of the joints. A failure while holding your SLR could be catastrophic! Reply With Quote
