An SLR version of the GorillaPod tripod has been launched in response, says maker Joby, to ?consumer demand?.

Priced £39.95 the device is a bigger version of the original model launched earlier this year for use with compact cameras.

The GorrillaPod SLR features three flexible legs which are designed to ?grip, twist and bend? around supports such as rocks and trees. The ball and socket joints are built to rotate 360°.

The gadget uses a 1/4in tripod screw and can hold up to 1.1kg of gear, claims Joby.
