There's a mall close by, here, which has the entire range of Gorillapods. I did have the chance to get the Focus, but I decided to stick with the recommended one for my setup, only to find out that specs were optimistic.
it seems to me that if your intended usage is to wrap the tripod around some bar, pole, or other objects that offer opportunity to grip, it will work great. But, in those occasions where you want to use it as a regular tripod, on a flat surfaces, the legs may start to slowly bend when you use a average/heavy lens on a typical "full" size body (50D, 7D, 5D, etc., for example).
