Joby GorillaPod Original Tripod - Charcoal

Product Information

The main selling point of this tripod, though, is the flexibility of the legs. This allows the tripod to wrap around and grip onto pretty much anything, anywhere, making it an extremely versatile tripod capable of things that full-size tripods cannot do. This, coupled with the 360° pan and 90° tilt, means you can get the camera into basically any position and angle. This is not only great for photographers who want to get those unusual, hard-to-get shots, but this design feature makes it a fantastic tripod for vloggers and videographers, too. If you’re a professional, or an amateur who really values their equipment, I’d recommend you only look at the 3K or 5K.)

Super compact flexible tripod stand for lightweight compact cameras, point & shoots and 360/action cameras.I’ve also assumed you’ll need the ‘GorillaPod Kits’ where available – a ‘Kit’ refers to the GorillaPod legs plus tripod ball head. If you’re looking for something a little beefier, an aluminium-reinforced 3K Pro Kit is also available. From a handful of travel tripods, the Joby GorillaPod lineup has grown into a full ecosystem of creative tools for photographers and videographers on the move. The second thing you may need to consider when selecting a GorillaPod is how you’d like to attach it to your camera or other device.

Once you have the total combined weight, you can see how it lines up with the maximum capacity of each GorillaPod. When it comes to choosing a tripod stand for phones and cameras, there are several options available. Here are a few tripod stand models that are well-regarded for their versatility and compatibility with both phones and cameras:

We provide you also lots of accessories that may be useful to upgrade your camera content creation, such as lights, audio & others:

The main thing you need to work out when selecting a GorillaPod is the combined weight of the object you want it to carry.

JOBY GorillaPod: The GorillaPod series from JOBY is highly popular among content creators. These camera tripod stands feature flexible legs that can be wrapped around objects, allowing for secure positioning on various surfaces. GorillaPod tripods often come with phone mounts and are compatible with cameras as well. There’s not much more to say about the GorillaPod 500 – it’s a simple bit of kit that allows you to stabilize or secure your compact camera in places that wouldn’t normally be possible. The 1K is also surprisingly light at only 197 g (0.43 lbs), making it ideal to have a couple stashed in your camera bag at all times – this is what I do, usually to support flashes or mini LEDs like the powerful but tiny Manfrotto LumeMuse. On the flip side, the GorilllaPod 3K is a lot lighter, and has a neat little bubble level built in to the ball head which can aid in getting a level shot – something that can be a bit of a challenge when using GorillaPods as regular tripods on a flat surface.One thing to note – even if own a lightweight compact camera such as the Ricoh GRIII, I’d actually recommend you buy the aforementioned GorillaPod 500 rather than the 325, just to give me a bit of additional strength and stability when bending the GorillaPod around objects. In fact, given that GorillaPods’ legs are held in place by friction alone, we’d recommend opting for a model that offers some headroom. For a camera and lens combination that weighs 1.5kg, look for a GorillaPod rated for around 3kg, as this will ensure maximum stability while out and about. Remember that if you plan on using your GorillaPod with more than one device or camera and lens combination, it needs to be able to support the heaviest configuration.
