    For those of you that own the Gorilla arm I am curious what your thoughts about it are? Also any suggestions or tricks with using it?

    I just picked one up today. It looks pretty solid for small cameras. Islam just ordered another arm but looking forward to trying out the Gorilla next week!

    Mine works fine. With practice, you can use the ratchet strap w/o making a noise. I do wish the head was a little nicer, but it gets the job done.

    Been using one for 2 years, works great for the small cameras. I concur, I better head and it would be great. Overall, some camo tape and some time spent, and you will enjoy.

    Was thinking of wrapping it in camo tape. I also ordered another arm today but I won't have it for a few weeks while it gets built and I have to get a head ordered for it. But I am looking forward to trying out the Gorilla one next week!

    Using it today for the first time! Pretty easy to set up and seems pretty smooth but I agree about the head. Overall not bad for the money! But can't wait to get my Passthru arm and fluid head next week!
