My dad's birthday is coming up and I'm getting him a few things for his workshop; I remember seeing one of these in Evo a few months ago (the legs are totally flexible and magnetic so they can attach/hang from any surface) but I can't remember who the retailer was. Tried searching online but all retailers seem to be in the US; anyone know if anyone sells these (or similar) in the UK?

TIA

Edit to say; they are known as "SquidBrites" in the US; not sure if they're called the same over here.

It's called a Gorillapod. Try WarehouseExpress.co.uk - exemplary service every time I've used them, pretty much king of the photographic suppliers.

Looks like a GorillaPod. Amazon probably has them.

ETA; the one with the light on it is called a GorillaTorch - http://joby.com/store/gorillatorch/original

Damn, I didn't know it was a light - thought you were just after the 'legs'. Sorry!

Yeah sorry, just noticed that! I don't suppose someone has the last six months (or so) of Evo magazines? I'm sure it was around Christmas time, the thing was in the hardware page they have before the main reviews. Tried evo.co.uk but couldn't see anything.

I bought mine from Jessops if it helps - asked the fella to throw one in free with my camera.
