Useful when using the gorilla pod, quick release. The release is a little stiff. Level is useful when setting the gorilla pod for shooting.

Bought this to add on to my SLR-Zoom Gorillapod. SIMPLY AMAZING!! Superb build quality! Another home run from Joby!

I use this with my Pentax K-X and I have to say it does it’s job pretty well. I like that the camera mount is so small that I can leave it on all the time and barely notice it’s there. It seems to tighten down well enough to be sturdy; I’ve set it at odd angles and never had any slippage. I wouldn’t recommend this with a heavy camera or a large lens of course.

Very solid. The only problem with it is that the level which slides into the holder must be removed to change batteries. Somewhat a pain!

I use this regularly with the Joby GP3 Zoom Gorillapod. It is an excellent combo when you are on the go: lightweight, adaptable, and practical. The top part screws onto your camera (just use a small coin) and latches on and off the camera using a quick press of a button.
Note that you don’t need to use this ballhead on an SLR camera. I use it both with my point & shoot as well as my SLR. With the point and shoot it is very useful for closeup shots and in low light. With the SLR it is useful when you don’t want to lug along a regular tripod.
BTW The fluid level on it is very helpful.
