More new gear!

Went around Hua Ho Manggis to look for a tripod... and I ended up buying two tripods... lol... the first one has the height of around 700mm, while the second one around 500mm... the rest i bought the shorter one is because maybe I might need something closer to the ground, and at the price of around $20, I guess it worth a try, and if i can keep it in one piece for at least a year, then I can say it's a bargain... :)

Owh... and I did saw a Manfrotto tripod at a camera shop outside Hua Ho Manggis, and it did look awesome, but for the price of $300 for stand alone, hmm... maybe some other time then... eheh...

Gorillapod Focus Tripod for Big Cameras

Joby announced a version of its popular Gorillapod tripod that is designed for DSLR and larger video cameras. The Gorillapod Focus is aimed at both pro and amateur photographers. The tripod weighs 1.1 pounds and can support cameras up to 11 pounds.

It ships with a 1/4-20 thread universal camera screw and a 3.8-inch adapter for ball heads. The flexible design allows the tripod to be wrapped around a tree limb and used in other unorthodox situations.

The Focus retails for $149.95 and it measures 11.4" x 3.6" x 3.6". The Focus is the biggest and strongest Gorillapod yet according to Joby. I wonder why they don’t make a taller Gorillapod for use like a normal tripod.
