Does anyone have any experience with this? I saw them in person at a LL Bean store. The concept seems really cool.

never seen it used for a camera, but I of people who use them for mounting flashes. My good friend is a pretty well known skateboarding photographer and he uses them all the time for his flashes.

Ive got the Focus model. I took it with me to New Zealand and it worked pretty well for what I needed. Sometimes it doesn't always grip perfectly but that all depends on how you wrap it around things. I also had one of the legs pop off but it was an easy fix since its just a ball and socket type connection.

The smaller version for point and shoots worked good. I wrapped it on horizontal poles upside down, tree branches and even gripped it in small grooves on the side of a tree. I'm not sure about the bigger ones for DSLR's.

Well it is soon going to be a christmas gift so I will have to post reviews after christmas. I got the largest ones for the SLRs and bigger lenses.

make sure you get a ball head to pair with it...it is much more useful with that
