I love my GorillaPod! It has 95% of the time replaced the use of my tripod. Check out the full review with some quality pics:

Nice review (great website too!). Can you expand on this comment:

"-I found that the Arca-Swiss base plate can loosen easily from the camera"

I bought one after a peninsula run I did with Exploring Elements where he used it. That was almost a year ago and I was using it last night filming my grandson. A must have photo tool!

I find that sometimes, even after tightening pretty snuggly, the baseplate loosens from the camera, allowing the camera to swivel on the baseplate. This is a big issue when the camera is off axis at all, as it pivots with the weight of the lens pointing down. Not an issue all the time, but something I've noticed and haven't figured out a reason or cure for just yet.
