Flexible legs can creep during long exposures — for exposures longer than a few seconds with heavier cameras, the flexible joints gradually sag under load, causing blur in long-exposure shots.

Leveling on flat surfaces takes more fiddling than rigid alternatives — achieving a level horizon on a flat desk requires adjusting multiple flexible joints rather than simply extending a leg.

Expensive compared to rigid tabletop alternatives — at $149, photographers who only use it on flat surfaces may prefer a $30 rigid mini tripod instead.
Source: DPReview forumsThe GorillaPod 3K Pro is irreplaceable for photographers and filmmakers who shoot in dynamic, outdoor, or unconventional environments. Wrapping around a branch for a bird's-eye shot, clamping to a bike for POV footage, or mounting upside-down on metal are things no rigid tripod can do. For controlled studio or flat-surface work, a rigid tripod is more practical. Know which scenario you're buying for.
