Which gorilapod for my G1/GF1?

[grum]

I've got a standard compact gorillapod which works ok with the GF1 and 20mm, but I'd quite like to be able to use it with some slightly heavier lenses.

Do I need the SLR Zoom or will the SLR one be ok? What's the difference between the standard one and the GP2 SLR etc which seem to be a bit cheaper?

Ta.

I have both the Zoom and SLR. I would advise you get the SLR as it has a detachable plate for quick release (similar to the standard), the zoom you will need to either screw in or you can put a tripod head on.

Both will be fine with the GF1, I use a E-P1 with no problems.

OK thanks - which lenses have you tried it with on the EP1? I do have a mini ball head from a redsnapper monopod I could potentially use with the SLR Zoom one. Hmm...

Heaviest lens I have is the 4/3 9-18mm which is fine on the gorillapod.

Cool thank you. How is that lens btw?

Like it alot, I have the normal 4/3 one but I've heard the micro one is just as good albeit more expensive. The Panasonic 7-14mm is very nice but abit too expensive for my tastes.
