Probably not to wrap around poles but steadying the tripod on a horizontal surface it works. Another great thing about this little gadgets that none of us mentioned but I'm using it for is as a light stand. With a small adapter on the shoe of the strobes, you can use the GorillaPods to place the strobe basically anywhere. Thanks for the comment. Hey Dave,

I have a GorillaPod Zoom SLR and love it. I'm not convinced that it would really hold a normal DSLR with anything above the smallest zooms even when shooting in portrait format, though. I use mine with a Canon Powershot G9 (it's my travel setup when I can't carry my DSLR - both will fit in my laptop bag on business trips) and, with the addition of a small Giotto ball-head, it's superb. One of the best things about it is its ability to attach to railings and even vertical posts by winding the legs around them allowing you to do fun things <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/3654229" rel="nofollow">like this</a>.
