Joby Gorillapod slr zoom
Anybody got or used one of these as they are on amazon at the moment for £28 and have real good reviews. The amount of times I could of used something like this especially being the heavier duty one...

Looks OK for lightweight gear, dont think i would trust it with my kit. Depends on what you want to photograph, may be good for macro but dont feel it would support my 40D and Sigma 150mm macro lens, i will be interested in any response, the price is certainly good.

I've used one a few times. They're very popular and that particular model should easily support your gear without any problems providing it's balanced right.
