Strong enough for a DLSR my ACE!!
Sorry, but this is a joke. Please don't label something DSLR capable when it's barely strong enough to hold a super zoom camera.
Maybe I got a poor copy, but if I didn't, don't expect much out of yours.
I LOVE the idea, I have other Gorillapods for standard size cameras and they are exceptional. I LOVE the quick release and the level that comes standard.
This thing can't hold my canon 5d mark II with a tiny 50mm lens.
Sorry, but that's disappointing!
I'm not returning it because it works well for so many other things.

Great tripod. Make sure you choose the right one for your type of camera.
I don't agree with the negative review about this tripod, because the wrong size was chosen by the buyer. There are different sizes of Gorillapods for different sizes of cameras and lenses. This one is specified for smaller cameras, and for that purpose it works great (at least for me it does). My advice: before you buy andy Gorillapod, check on Joby's website which one's right for the type of camera and lens you have, and then you can come back to buy it cheaper @ Amazon. ;)

Make sure your camera isn't too heavy!
We purchased this tripod for out Nikon D5000 fitted with a 18-200mm lens. The weight of the lens was too heavy for this particular tripod, causing the entire camera/tripod unit to keel over. Luckily, we tested it out on a table top at home rather than out in the field. We did not notice any weight/lens restriction in the packaging or amazon description which might have warned us about this.

Great travel tripod!
I love this little guy! I take it with me everywhere I take my Nikon D5000! It's a quick way to stabilize your camera in a hurry without lugging around a full size tripod.
