Gorillapod used as a boom mount – waterproof?
Looking at recent video’s about gorillapod’s on youtube we came across this ingenious use of a gorillapod tripod – to record video while wind surfing, using the gorillapod as a boom mount, gripping it around the handle of the wind surfer.
Its certainly an excellent use of the gorillapod and it proves in yet another scenario the gorillapod will go where no other tripod will. Before the gorrillapod to film yourself windsurfing you would have needed to buy either a specialist expensive camera mount or literally taped the camera to the frame, the latter not being ideal and the first being 10x the cost of a gorillapod for essentially the same camera grip capacity.
