Joby GorillaPod Original Tripod - Charcoal

Product Information

Confusingly, there’s also a GorillaPod 3K Pro Kit, featuring machined aluminium sockets like the 5K model. One simple tightening knob secures the ball in the socket, with the entire tripod screwing into the base of your device (in this case, a Manfrotto Lykos LED Light. Also, after being exposed to extreme elements all around the world, the rubber around the segments are starting to disintegrate. All the knobs have a grippy, soft touch to the rubber and combined with the smooth adjustments, it feels like a premium product.

Consisting of various arms, cold shoe mounts and GoPro mounts that jut off from the side of the original GorillaPod, you can create a complete mobile rig for lighting and recording external sound and video, all at once. As mentioned before, I’d err on the side of caution if you camera set up is close to the maximum capacity of the GorillaPod 1K, and pay a little more for the 3K, or even the 5K, for additional peace of mind. 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.For our children at least (currently 2 and 4 years old), gripping their cameras using a GorillaPod seems much easier and more fun for them. To cover all styles of camera from small to big, beginner to Pro, Action to Portraits and deep into the world of Video we have a full family of GorillaPods to choose from. It’s designed for premium mirrorless cameras, and it can hold up to 3 kg of weight, which is more than enough to hold the weight of a full-frame mirrorless camera with even a long and heavy telephoto lens.

Our GorillaPods are named after their weight capacity, from the compact GorillaPod Magnetic Mini, Starter Kit, 325 and 325 Magnetic, which all hold up to 325 grams, up to the heavyweight GorillaPod 5K Kit, which holds 5 kilograms (11 lbs) of equipment. Sometimes that might mean a less “perfect” composition, but honestly sometimes it benefits the composition in ways you didn’t realize when mounting to a fence wasn’t an option, such as introducing great sweeping leading lines to an image. 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!This tripod is definitely a perfect fit for travel photographers who need lightweight, portable, and versatile equipment, as it ticks all of those boxes. Though due to its size and lightweight, it probably wouldn't hold up well in strong winds unless it was gripped onto something, so that’s something to be mindful of when you take it out shooting. I can do many different things, which JOBY likes to sum up in: You can keep me in your hands in a comfortable grip and vlog all the time. It’s also very lightweight and portable, weighing in at 463 g, making it a pleasure to carry around with you when shooting.
