Well, I bought a GorlliaPod, eventually. I went to a Ted's camera store, but was disappointed by their poor service. The guy who 'served' me, knew stuff all about them. They didn't have the style I wanted, I was after the hybrid, for smartphones which they didn't have. They had the DSLR version, but not the one I was after. Interestingly, if I hadve received better service, I may have bought the standard model, as well as the Joby DSLR strap, which they had in stock. But when I asked the guy to get me a price ( no price sticker on the product ) he looked as if I'd just asked him to fly to the moon.
In frustration I left there, and went to the Apple Store ( had a Genius Bar appointment ). Apple also didn't stock the hybrid, but I went with the magnetic version. It's not he end of the world that this one doesn't have an in built level, especially as I could download a level app.
But the difference in customer service between the two stores was vast. Not only did I buy the tripod at Apple, but a hands free Belkin device for my iPhone too. If I'm treated with respect, and interest, I'll happily hand over my money. All too often I find sales people don't care, which is why I'm increasingly shopping online.
