Hello:

I have a Gorillapod that the third vertebrae is now loose. I can no longer use it since it just falls over when I try to mount my camera to it.

The gorillapod is just over a year old and I expected it to last a bit longer than this. I'm very sad since this is a very handy product which I enjoy using and I can't return it to the store which I purchased it at. Please help.

Many Thanks.
