the gorillapod is flexible enough to position the camera in any way. The ballhead is only necessary for bigger cameras to counter the body weight of the dslr (the lens to be exact) while positioning it. You cannot do proper evaluation on the ballhead using a point and shoot.it is the only way that I can imagine being able to place a camera in any position I might want.
This is the concept that I fail to understand, because if I wanted to position the camera straight down vertically, without a ballhead, that would appear to put the camera further off the center of gravity of the tripod than it would with the ballhead. I understand that would be a greater factor with a heavier camera, but with the way that I imagine that it would distort the legs, it would be tipsy even with a light camera.the gorillapod is flexible enough to position the camera in any way.
That may be so, but an improper evaluation is better than none at all.You cannot do proper evaluation on the ballhead using a point and shoot.
Ball head now on order also (BH1).Okay, the tripod is on order (JB01136-CEN). The ballhead will have to wait until I have something to bundle it with to save on the shipping.
Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.
Since the SD chip I have has 32GBs of capacity (6489 shots), is more than I'm likely to use very soon, a thought crossed my mind...what if I stored non-image files on it...would it harm anything? Could I partition a portion of it on the PC for this purpose and have the camera use the remainder?
Though I served a year in Vietnam I, and I imagine very few others on the forum read Vietnamese. I used Google Translate and now understand the gist of your post, but you really should post only in English.
EDIT: Since it appears that you believe that Amazon raised the price, I rechecked the ad for it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0095F5AFQ/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And found it still listed for $199.00. Either you looked at the price listed as savings, or you looked at a listing designed for some other country, but the latter doesn't make much sense, because it also says:
