Doylestown Internet Video, Gorillapod Video Camera Tripod Review

As internet video gets more and more popular there is an increased desire to make a better quality video, especially if you are going to use it to promote your business or yourself or just want to take better looking video. One accessory that is a must-have tool in your video arsenal is a tripod. Nothing distracts the viewer more than a shaky video, causing the viewer to lack focus or interest or make your video look sub-par. So if you are going to take the time to make a video, why not make a better video with a tripod?

I just bought a Joby Gorillapod mini tripod because it was in the “suggested accessories” section when I purchased my Kodak Zi8 online. It intrigued me because of its small size and grippy, wrappable legs and I like any gadget that can do more than its traditional function. It is small and light enough to tote around and fit on almost any surface.

The Gorillapod has been an instant hit for me for various reasons. I can take video on the fly by clipping on my Kodak Zi8 to the Gorillapod and film myself without a camera person to help. Of course, any mini-tripod can do this on a flat surface, but the Gorillapod goes a step further. I am able to bend the Gorillpod’s rotatable legs around street poles, tree branches, bench backs and uneven surfaces to get shots unobtainable with traditional tripods. This 360 degree bendable functionality lets me attach my video camera to any object it can grab and elevate my video camera to any desired height, high or low.

It has a handy quick-release clip so I can slip the video camera off the tripod in a flash and not bother with unscrewing it every time I want to release it. Now stowing is easy.

I took my Kodak Zi8 and Gorillapod out on a shoot in a town garden that had bronze sculptures and was able to capture aerial and eye level video by attaching my video camera to a fence post, tree limb and stone garden wall. The final video came out perfectly steady and level and I would not have been able to obtain that caliber of video before without having a camera person to come along and help me.

The little rubberized round feet grab surfaces well and discourage slippage. I placed the Gorillapod onto many stone and brick walls that were uneven with no problem. You just have to look through your view screen of your video camera to make sure you have the shot set up the way you want before hitting the record button. Leg adjustments are easy and quick.

Of course, this original sized Gorillapod, which can take any video camera that weighs up to 11.5 ounces, can also be used for digital cameras as well. No more asking passersby to take your picture for you. Just set your camera on “auto” and snap away!

After being jazzed by my new acquisition, I went on the Joby website and found that they have tripods for SLR cameras, with ball heads, magnetic legs and tripods for video cameras with tripod heads that pan and tilt. They even have Gorillamobile for mobile devices such as iPod Touch and the iPhone and Gorillatorch hands-free flashlights. I love innovation.

All in all, it is a very affordable accessory to improve any video. It can take your final video production from average to “wow”.

Here are some stretches to help you work on your splits.

For the straddle–lay on your back with your butt against the wall. Extend your legs up the wall and then let the fall into the straddle stretch, gravity will help pull your legs down. Hold as long as you can. Repeat a few times. Also when you are doing your normal stretching in the straddle position, right before you are done stretching, lean forward into the middle and then try to pull through the stretch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MhiIL6Aojo&playnext=1&list=PL796002DA6BCB9B15 (watch around the 15 sec mark for what I’m referring to)

For the other splits–lay on your back, bring a leg into your chest, hold a few seconds, then extend it. Grab your leg and try to pull it as close to you as you can and hold it, repeat a couple of times bending the knee and extending it. On the last extend, while holding your leg, roll over into the splits. Repeat on the other leg.

These 2 will need another person to help you—stand against a wall, lift your leg, have your friend lift it as high as they can. And hold it as long as you can. Both knees should be straight. The goal is to touch the wall with your foot (I could do it 20 years ago and now I’m back to with a foot of the wall after 3 years of dance and I’m 33) Repeat with other leg.

Next lay on the ground and have your friend push your extended leg towards the ground. Same idea as the stretch above, but it works the muscles in a slightly different way since you are in a different position.

One last stretch which will help your splits (and your arabesque penchee). You will need to find a blank spot on a wall and grab a chair. Now facing away from the wall and holding onto the chair for support, take a leg and slide it up the wall like you are going into splits. Hold it for as long as possible then switch legs. Try to keep your legs straight. As you work the stretch move the chair closer to the wall until you are touching the wall in a vertical split.

One note—you can also try to do some of the two person stretches solo, by moving into a doorway and working one leg up the frame or down the frame depending on what you are trying to stretch. I just tried a few doorway stretches for the first time and I was able to put my foot against the door frame and got a completely vertical split in the needle position. This link is so you can see what position I’m talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8yJ4NeuT4k

As long as you don’t rush and push yourself too fast, you can really make progress fast. Make sure that you really work both sides as evenly as you can. I never really worked the left leg and it’s no where near as flexible as my right. I have had my right split for about 20 years, even when I wasn’t exercising I could still do it. I never had my left, at my best when I was young, they were about a foot over the ground, now at 33, I can get all the way down, I just need to get myself square and straight so a little more pushing myself and I’ll have them. Keep working and you’ll get them.
