The whole GoPro is and remains a toy for me. The quality of the recordings is rather inadequate. This tripod must also be seen in this context. A Gitzo tripod quickly costs CHF 1000. A comparison with such a tripod is unfair. You can also use a toy tripod for a toy camera.

I am very satisfied with the GorillaPod. The size is ideal for placing it somewhere on the ground or attaching it to an object (e.g. a tree, shelf, etc.).
The legs can be "shaped" well.
It is ideal that this GorillaPod has a direct mount for the GoPro (incl. screw), so no further accessories are necessary.
Pro
Statif good to use, the "legs" are very flexible and easy to grip.
Unfortunately, the screw supplied does not fit into the thread, and on closer inspection it is clear that it is very poorly made, the first threads are compressed. With the original GoPro screw, however, it fits perfectly.

I will use it for my GoPro. Cool thing, I would buy again.
Excellent to use as a tripod or stick, can be placed on trees or rocks.
a leg has fallen off after not even 2 hours of filming.
has done his job until then but excellent.
