Joby Gorillapod Tripod Return Policy

A few weeks ago, when i was using my DIY - polarizing filter and DIY - ND filter i broke my new Joby Gorillapod tripod. It was really cold and as i was shutting the tripod, the plastic leg snapped.

So i emailed Joby Gorillapod, told them what happened, included my Amazon order information and the picture above. They responded that day saying that they would send me a replacement. Three days later a brand new Gorillapod tripod showed up in the mail. It was great.
I actually didn't think they were going to send me a new one so i tried fixing the old tripod the day before the new one arrived.

Just gluing the plastic legs wouldn't work so i inserted the two ends in a piece of PVC tubing and then sealed it with some J.B. Weld epoxy. It didn't look so good but it worked.

Now i guess i have two mini tripods.

Mini Tripods

About a year ago, while checking either Slickdeals or Fatwallet i saw this mini tripod for $1. So i bought it. I didn't really use it much at first, but now that i'm doing more with the CHDK software, i use it all the time.
It turned out to be one of the best things i ever ordered for a buck. I use it a ton because it is so easy to carry around in your pocket. It's not perfect, but for time lapse photos or long exposures at night it a necessity.
Amazon has it for sale all the time for $2 with free shipping. It's definitely worth buying.
Then recently i bought the Joby Gorillapod.
It was $13 and it works a little better. It's definitely a lot more flexible for gripping.
They are perfect because of their small size.
