GorillaPod Compact Tripod Kit with Ballhead for Mirrorless Cameras up to 2.2 lbs. Black/Charcoal.

I typically don't write such overly completely satisfied awesome product reviews so early but this piece of simple yet extraordinary equipment has surpassed all so called manufactured wonderfully amazing devices hands down, no holds barred. As you see in the photos the incredibly weird ways this flexible tripod holds and can be propped and manipulated to hold your video capturing equipment. I was on my way out of country for a property photo documenting capturing footage and I didn't have room for allot of my typical bulky equipment but something that's easy to use and perfect in every way. When I initially saw this on a YouTube review and I guess you've heard that saying, "If it's too good to be true then it simply is". Well this one has broken all the standards, pull all the plugs on ease, simplicity, light weight equipment, great value and about 100 other things. You will not be dissatisfied with this unless this is not what you were seeking this particular piece of equipment. The floating ball mount is a awesome addition that in itself is worth the price alone. So combined you get this incredible tripod, delivered as it is as exactly promised, delivered ontime, its cost more then worthy of all delivered and the ease and flexibility surpassed by no one on this one. I guess you see this is one satisfied customer. I will say nothing but great things about this ball mount, flexible tripod. Great price. Great delivery. Great ease of use. Great ease of application. Great flexibility. Great simplicity. Great design. Great experience with this equipment. Great lightweight device. Great warranty. Great everything. Great job R&D involved dedication guys....

works great I like it. And it looks to be well made. I would purchase again

I don’t know what took me so long to get a tripod! This gorilla 1K is the best! Very sturdy, excellent packaging, easy to set up and get going. I purchased a phone clip to go with it which is required. I got the ULANZI ST – 27 Iron Man IV phone clip and it works perfectly with this tripod - super easy. Can’t wait to get outside and use it.

One of the best "pandemic" purchase I made. Used as stand for Iphone and Ipad for video calls. Very solid, very durable. Best of the bunch. I subtracted one star as the top "ball" joint are weakening over time. Won't hold at a 45degree angle anymore. But it was great for a year of almost daily use. So still 4x. I am happy enough that I am buying a replacement.

This thing is awesome and super useful. I pair it with a K&F Concept Quick Release Plate and Ultralight Arca Swiss Clamp for my backpacking trips. It's pretty much as lightweight as you can go for a DSLR. My only complaint is the swivel mechanism, it easily unscrews from the tripod. You kinda have to squeeze it and tighten it first before being able to swivel properly.

This arrived in a nice package. It was very easy to setup. The heavy plastic and rubber edges make a great mount for any photos you would use with a digital SLR or even a webcam. The design makes it very easy to control giving it a great fit for any creative controls one would use. It stays put when I used it with my camera.

The tripod is easy to use and durable. I recommend.

I returned the much larger, heaver, stiffer GorillaPod Focus, which can handle up to 11 lbs or so, and traded it for this 1K model. I wanted something lighter and smaller to take when I travel, and to use for certain macro focus photos I like to take. The Focus was just too large and heavy for my needs. This was a much better size and it works well to support 2 of my 3 cameras. (My third camera is a regular camera and lens, and just too heavy for this pod at 2.5 lbs). This one is nicely made, the little ball head seems well made and works perfectly for what I want it for. I almost ordered the 3K GorillaPod, but I think it would have been larger than I need. Which GorillaPod you choose is really all a matter of your intended purpose, and I wanted to go as small/light as I could yet have the solid ball head support for my 2 main cameras in any position. Seems a bit pricey, but my older tiny, basic GP has held up just fine over several years (it could only support my smallest camera).

Utilizzo il Joby GorillaPod 1K Kit da circa un anno, principalmente per sostenere lo smartphone durante riprese video, time-lapse e brevi sessioni di scatto in esterna. L’ho scelto per la sua reputazione di qualità e per la grande flessibilità d’uso che da sempre contraddistingue i prodotti Joby. Sul piano della funzionalità, nulla da dire: le gambe flessibili sono comode, si adattano facilmente a superfici irregolari e permettono di fissare il treppiede praticamente ovunque — pali, ringhiere, rami, manubri. La testa a sfera garantisce movimenti precisi e un buon controllo dell’inquadratura, con la classica sensazione di stabilità tipica dei GorillaPod. La portata massima di 1 kg è coerente con quanto dichiarato: perfetta per smartphone, action cam e piccole mirrorless. Tuttavia, dopo un uso piuttosto moderato (e sempre con il solo cellulare, mai con fotocamere pesanti), ho notato con dispiacere un progressivo allentamento della testa a sfera. In particolare, quando si flettono spesso le gambe per regolarne la posizione, la giunzione della testa tende a sganciarsi con troppa facilità. Si riattacca senza problemi, ma la cosa non trasmette più quella sensazione di robustezza e affidabilità che ci si aspetta da un marchio come Joby. Per il resto, la costruzione generale resta buona: materiali piacevoli al tatto, peso ridotto, ottima portabilità. È un accessorio ideale per chi crea contenuti in movimento o ha bisogno di un supporto versatile, soprattutto per smartphone e fotocamere leggere. In conclusione, darei 4 stelle. È un ottimo prodotto per design, praticità e prestazioni, ma il comportamento della testa a sfera nel tempo tradisce un po’ le aspettative rispetto al prezzo e al nome Joby. Con una maggiore solidità nei punti di giunzione, sarebbe stato un treppiede praticamente perfetto.

Best product for food photography.

C’est pour un cadeau il s’en sert pour faire des photos sur petit mur ou escalier ça évite de sortir le grand.

Ich nutze dieses kleine Stativ um mein iPhone auf die Optimale Höhe für Videokonferenzen zu bringen. Die Joby Qualität spricht für sich, die ist meiner Meinung nach hervorragend. Dieses Stativ ist belastbar bis zu einem Gewicht von einem Kilo, deshalb steht auch eine kleine Teufel Box auf darauf. Das Kugelgelenk ist leicht einstellbar und die Feststellschraube funktioniert einwandfrei.

I used it for my canon M50 and it’s perfect
