I had previously owned a Joby Gorrilapod for my compact camera and soon realised that I needed something a bit stronger to cope with the additional weight of my NEX-3, especially with the bigger lenses attached so I invested in the Joby Gorrilapod SLR-Zoom model which is much more chunky and does the job perfectly.

I am still using this new Gorillapod over a year down the line and it is a top quality product!
Around this time I also invested in a proper tripod - well, I say "proper" but in reality it was a very cheap model from Ebay. It did the job at the time but I soon learnt that it wasn't anywhere near stable or sturdy enough and eventually I would need to invest in something better.
