For reference, my camera is a Canon 80D with battery grip--and my lens is the 24-70mm f/2.8. The ball head that comes with the Gorillapod holds my rig nice and snug. The Gorillapod legs stay where I put them with no drooping or sagging. In fact, the legs of the Gorillapod are so stiff, it takes a little muscle to position them how I want (which is perfect). Once I get the thing set up the way I like, it doesn't move. The ball head has is high quality--all metal parts--and the knobs have rubberized grips that make them easy to twist. It almost feels like a fluid head when panning--there's a little bit of smooth resistance. The base of the tripod head has a numbered 360° scale so I can accurately repeat pans and adjust my position.
When I go on vacation, I usually bring my monopod. It breaks down into smaller pieces, and I pack it in my checked luggage, so the size isn't that big a deal--but one thing I've noticed is that I don't usually use it once I get where I'm going. For some reason, lugging it around just doesn't sound "fun"--so it stays at the hotel, un-touched. I'm looking forward to using my new Gorillapod on my next trip. It's less than half the size of my monopod, and the ball head is much smaller than the fluid video head I usually use. I can toss it in my camera bag, and if I need a stable shot--I've got it. When I want to go handheld, it goes right back in my bag--no problem.
My primary tripod can get fairly low to the ground--but not as low as this Gorillapod. I've never shot macro before, but I'm intrigued by it. With the Gorillapod, I'll be able to position my camera almost at ground level. Having a stable platform that gets me this low and close to the ground might motivate me to get a macro lens and give it a shot!
Overall I'm very happy with the quality of this little tripod--and I don't know what took me so long to buy it.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Joby Gorillapod 5K kit.
The materials are premium quality, utilizing very grippy rubber for the grips, solid metal for the ballhead area, and high quality plastic.
The ONLY CONS: if you want something lightweight, this is not it. The premium quality and top of the line effectiveness for larger cameras requires it to be heavier. If this is your only tripod, its perfect, but carrying around two tripods (like I often do) can be a little heavy. Secondly, I would've liked to see a level on it. The older one had one which rocked, but this one doesn't. While that doesn't matter to me at all for vlogging, it does for photography.
In tricky situations, like uneven ground, in tight quarters, etc, it's invaluable & the quick release camera mount is another big convenience.
When I need extra stability, flexibility, & quick implementation; I keep my GorillaPod connected to my camera, while I'm still have my strap around my neck & I just hold the Pod legs close to me & I can move around
many angles to get the right shot & I just prop the legs on my torso.
I can adjust the legs quickly w/gentle pressure & I get sturdier hand-held rapid flexibility; a regular tripod can't give.
The only drawback is that it is heavy. Too heavy for my wimpy arms to carry aloft for any length of time. If you are a roving vlogger or intend to hike up a mountain, the weight of this tripod will be a consideration for you, unless you have strong arms and / or you plan on upping your weightlifting game....
The tripod itself is sturdy, stable, and relatively lightweight. Four 5K kits at $100 on sale is quite a steal.

Tripod is very strong, slight bugger than the usual ones I'm used to.
The included head is OK but I prefer to use my own tepod head and occasional manfrotto befree live.
