You probably know about Gorilla Pod, but how about Gorilla Torch?

Gorilla Torch, made by Joby, the folks who brought you the Gorilla Pod. (In case you don’t remember, the Gorilla Pod is a flexible mini tripod. You can bend the legs in any direction, like around poles, benches, branches, etc. It's a quick and easy way to hold your point ‘n shoot camera in place for self-portraits when no one's around. Gorilla Torch is similar, expect a flashlight replaces your camera. The Torch, however does not unscrew, or come off. So now you can wrap this flashlight (or: “torch”) around anything to hold it in place with the beam facing the way you want it. (This is assuming you don’t have a Giz Wiz LED baseball cap!) The “Torch” is a super-bright LED light with a built in dimmer. Joby says it’s weatherproof and shockproof. The adjustable intensity light can be turned up full to 65 lumens, which is really bright! The average battery life is 20-80 hours depending on how bright a light you use. Another neat feature are the magnetic footpads. That means you can hook it on to a refrigerator or car door. And if you drop something metallic you can use one of the feet to retrieve it! It’s powered by 3 AA batteries, which are included. $29.99. It will be available mid-September 2009.
