The CineSquid tripod system sucks

Accessory maker Cinetics (makers of CineSkates) has launched its latest tripod system, the CineSquid. Using this tripod system, moviemakers can secure their cameras (no heavier than 2.3kg) onto contoured, multi-level surfaces. Users can also maneuver the angle of the camera even when the suction cups have been mounted on.

Unlike conventional tripods, the CineSquid lets users mount their cameras on the underbellies of helicopters, the bumper of a car, or the rear of any moving vehicle that has a smooth surface. This means you'll be able to get to hard-to-reach angles and record videos with more unique perspectives.
The CineSquid tripod system comprises of a GorillaPod Focus tripod, a BallHead Xcamera mount and a carrying case. Before you take out that credit card, do note that the CineSquid is available only for pre-order at US$235 at its official site. The product will ship in April 2012.
Here's a short video on how it works:
