| Olympus EPL1 with 14-42 kit lens ISO 100 f11 30 second exposure |
I purchased a new toy this week from Amazon that I thought was pretty fun. I decided to get the Fat Gecko suction cup tripod mount so I could attach my cameras to things like.....my car. I have a whole series of plans with it, but of course as soon as it arrived I had to immediately hop in the car with my Olympus EPL1 stuck to the underside of my sunroof and take it out on a dark rainy night. I must say I was surprised how well it turned out with me not really giving the setup much thought at all. I can't wait to take the time to set up what I'm really wanting to shoot with it!
The tripod appears well built and very sturdy. It did have some trouble sticking to my sunroof as it has a weird texture on the glass (I think some sort of webbed sun coating) but it worked none-the-less. Stuck on any smooth glass or surface and you can't even yank the tripod off by force. Or at least I can't, but I've been accused of having little girl arms.
If you are looking for a new toy, I paid about $80 for the Gecko, so shop around and look for a deal.
Thanks for dropping by the blog. Before I go, I'd like to link to this entry on the fototails blog. You might have already seen it as it has gone pretty viral on places like Facebook and Twitter, but if you are looking for a heartwarming story on just why portrait photography is so meaningful, give it a quick read.
