Gorillapod video tripod: Can this be used for Optoma Pico Projectors?

Does your pico projector have a screw base to mount on the tripod? If yes, then, yes it will work.

I have absolutely no problem. I use all Manfrotto tripods, monopods, heads, and QD plates, and they all work fine. You did not say if the thread was too small, too large, or not cut correctly. The standard is 3/8 and you may have a tripod with 1/4-20, if so you can buy a thread adapter at any camera store, or at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-088LBP-Adapter-4-Inch--8-Inch/dp/B001CZUSUE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1376920249&sr;=8-5&keywords;=tripod+3%2F8+to+1%2F4-20+adapter

If you plan to use a gobo projector independent of this yes. You can't, however, use a gobo on this.

Yes, the camalapse can be mounted on a tripod. I've used it on both a portable/pocket-sized and full sized tripod.

I don't think so. I have this bino and can't see a place to mount the tripod. Ask REI as well.

The gorillapod has a screw on the top to mount camera, if your camera has a screw hole it will work fine

Well, yes and no. When you think of a camera on a tripod standing up on three legs, yes it is too heavy. It will sink down. However, if your purpose is to stabilize the camera or wrap the tripod legs onto a bar or other object you couldn't just sit the camera on, then the gorillapod would work great. I have used my gorillapod for a small Kodak Zi8 (similar to a flip camera) and it supports that just fine, but larger cameras do cause the tripod to sag a bit. This hasn't stopped me from using it much, though! I use it all the time. It stabilizes the camera wonderfully with the flexibility of its legs. And the magnetic feet have helped me stabilize it on railings and other odd places.

I agree with Thomas J. and D. Guio.You need to keep the camera extra steady when you use the zoom because any movement is exaggerated.This will be a problem with most cameras at this price range. If you don't have space for a tripod in your bag, a GorillaPod (http://www.amazon.com/Joby-JB01235-CAM-GorillaPod-Original-Charcoal/dp/B0087FFTT2/) works well because it's small and you can stand it on a table (or really any surface) or wrap it around a chair/pole.

I just looked at mine and it has the connection on the bottom so you should be able to mount it on a tripod.

I'm sure it wouldn't hold the weight of a DSLR. I have a larger GorillaPod designed for micro 4/3 cameras and when I tried to mount a Canon 7D on it, it was very frustrating because the legs kept collapsing due to the weight.

Todd,thanks for going ahead and providing the information even thought the OP is old. very useful for one like myself who recently got interested in the gorillapod and who wants to learn more about what is it and isn't good for. appreciate the tip about the quick-release clip. since I will be using it with the FZ150 it sounds like a good match.

Yes, I use it with the Gorilla one, but it is a little heavy for it so I can't always get the angle I want..That is the only downside to this camera so far. I think a regular tripod would be fine though...

Not sure... but here's a reference page that may help. http://www.tripodquickrelease.com/Ambico_Quick_Releases.htm

yes, the tripod works great with the projector, just be sure to thoroughly tighten the attaching device!

I've not used this tripod, but did have a Mefoto - that one fell apart when trying to extend height.

I don't know, I have a D3100 but I have not tried to use my model gorillapod with the camera. To me, you want to get the next size up gorillapod for the camera you have so that you can be sure the pod will hold the camera steady. I use the DSLR-rated model for my flip camera and point and shoot, because the larger gorillapod holds them better than the model made for these smaller cameras.

Unfortunately, the binoculars do not come with a native attachment point that can be used with a tripod or a monopod. A quick Google search reveals that the Orion Mounting Bracket could be used to hold the binoculars... admittedly, I have not used such bracket and therefore cannot testify to its usefulness.
