Joby GorillaPod Original Tripod - Charcoal

Product Information

Yes, that’s right – don’t think that GorillaPods are limited to supporting only cameras – I use mine to mount a flash (via a cold shoe), a mini LED light such as the Manfrotto Lumamuse, or even a large LED panel like the Manfrotto Lykos BiColor. i) Fixed– the GorillaPod head screws in directly to the tripod hole on the base of your camera. To remove your camera, you need to unscrew the entire GorillaPod. Usage of the 3K assumes a lighter camera attached to it, so regardless of the difference in weight of the GorillaPod itself, you’re in for a lighter experience whatever the case.) 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. For lightweight compact cameras weighing less than 500 g (1.1 lbs), the GorillaPod 325 is the tiny little flexible tripod for you.

An example set up would be a Canon 1DX Mark II plus Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens – the 5K can handle the weight, but it’s unlikely to be a set up you’d be holding at arm’s length for a long time! If you’re using a large zoom lens, it’s also worth choosing a stronger GorillaPod model than the combined weight of your camera + lens, since the weight of zoom lenses often extend away from the centre point of the tripod.If you’re a professional, or an amateur who really values their equipment, I’d recommend you only look at the 3K or 5K.) That said, the GorillaPod 1K does a fine job in securing devices weighing within its max carrying capacity to thin poles, posts and anything else you can find that fits the bill. The GorillaPod 500 is a super lightweight, easy to use flexible tripod at a price point to suit all budgets. Ideal for lightweight compact cameras. Since it’s more for the video shooters than us stills photographers, I didn’t conduct a full review of GorillaPod’s interesting ‘Rig Upgrade’.

Joby JB01505-BWW GorillaPod 325 Tripod for Camera - Black

The main thing you need to work out when selecting a GorillaPod is the combined weight of the object you want it to carry. You can also get a separate mount to attach your phone to the GorillaPod, opening up possibilities for other content creators too, not just photographers and videographers.
