The Joby Gorillapod firmly secures your camera to just about anything – anywhere and everywhere! Unlike traditional tripods, Gorillapods do not require a level or elevated surface for you to take the perfect shot.Each Gorillapod is made up of 30 or more fully articulating ball-and-socket joints. You can bend and twist them into any shape, and they’ll always keep your camera steady!Soft rings and rubberized feet prevent your Gorillapod from slipping in even the toughest environments. more info

Very cool
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This mini-tripod is very convenient. It’s small and light. I can carry it in my pocket at any time. Although in some occasions it will take some time to adjust it, generally speaking it’s pretty easy to use.
At last I hope it can be a little cheaper.
Very good!

This product is very handy and convenient. Easy to use if you are trying to video tape something by yourself.
Awesome invention
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The reason i gave it 4 out of 5 starts is because some of the joints are too stiff and was a little pricer than i expected. Other than that, this product delivered exactly what it promised
Good product – while it lasts

This tripod WILL break. They last about two years, maybe a little more and then break. Specifically, a break will occur between the top two nodes and the point where the three legs come together near to the top. Not wanting to be on a gorilla pod “subscription” i’m seeking out something different. I get so tired of how stuff is made these days.
Easy to use, good to have, but could be smaller

I love this device, and it has been a god sent when traveling. Prior, I have had to ask others to take pictures for me or my wife, but now, I’m able to take those photos myself. The only drawback is I wish it could be made smaller.
From Gorilla to monkey business
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Reading reviews about this pod one would belief that it beats all other related camera steadeing hardware is junk. Well, it is the other way around! I got this gadget for nacro purposes however, the Gorilla Focus will not support my Canon 5D with a 100 mm lness and the Canon rig lite although the entire rig is well within the published support ratings. This Gorrilla pod become a nini monkey pod and collapses very slowly under the above mentioned weight this making it impossible to shoot a tack sharp image with. Getting this thing to wrap around anything and expect it to stay put loabgenough to get jusst one shot is a pipe dream unless I am doing something wrong.(Can not image what)
making a long story short, it, the Gorrila pod goes back to the jungle and that goes for the Joby ball head as well. This is a lesson for me! Now I am hoping I can get my investment back.
Looks OK

This is a little smaller than I had envisioned. It is a Christmas present so I can’t comment on its functionality. It should be fine though… and the price was right.

This tripod is more versatile and stable and very portable for small video and still cameras. Good to use on remote shots in dangerous conditions and for parties to just catch action without getting people acting up just for the camera.
Item does NOT support a digital camera
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I ordered the smaller tripod thinking it would be good for travel, but it is so small that it cannot hold my camera (which is a Canon ELPH SD model) in positions unless it is exactly centered and upright because the knobs rotate. That is not what the images and product in general is supposed to do. I am very unhappy, and now have to pay more to get a larger tripod.
Nice while it lasted
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This Joby was great for about a month. After that one of the pods went limp and now it has a hard time griping. I moved the defective pod lower down the chain, which means that I can at least keep using the thing, but its not what I expected from a $20 mini tripod.
I’m not sure if this was just a defective unit. Many people like their Gorillapods.
Favorite gift
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Photography in difficult light has become so much easier with this “extra hand”. I’ve used it from Anchorage to Istanbul squeezing it onto patio chairs, car tops and tree limbs for perfectly stable support. With carry-on space at a premium I love the fact that it is smaller and more versatile than my larger tripods while still giving my camera the stability low-lighting shots require. I just returned from James Bay, Victoria, BC, where I took fantastic evening photos from a cramped perch where no regular sized tripod would have fit. What began as a travel accessory has become my tripod of choice. The attachment mount is small enough that my camera case easily accommodates it. The Gorillapod remains at the top of my all time favorite Christmas gifts list.
Recommended!

This is a great tripod (for most point & shoot cameras). Pint-size and light! Perfect in women’s purse! It’s stable, flexible, and of course, it can be wrapped on to anything, be it a pole, a rail or on a fire hydrant! Thumbs up!
Everything it’s cracked out to be

Great. attaches to everything I want it to. I can set it up anywhere. Light, flexible, holds up my vado 720 hd well, and doesn’t sag. I’ve put it on chairs, ladders, poles, rails, my arm… yeah, very happy with this purchase.
Love it!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I rated this a 4 instead of 5 only because the tripod was broke when I received it. The ring used to lock the quick release was broke in two pieces. I know I could have returned it to be replaced, but then I wouldn’t of had it for my vacation. As for the actual product I think you would be hard pressed to find a better tripod. There is nothing that this thing can’t grip to, and it has no problems holding my PowerShot. I would hate to go without it now.
AWESOME CHRISTMAS GIFT

I bought and gave this to a family member for Christmas and she absolutely LOVED it! Very nice product at a reasonable price!
Very useful
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This tripod is excellent for amature and professional photographers alike. Makes an excellent companion on international trips and video blogging. I have used this product to get some really wonderful shots.
Nice for small digital cameras.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this tripod for my Pentax X70, but it just barely holds it. Tripod quality is excellent, thought my “compact” X70 would fit but not this kind of compact cameras, I’d rather call them medium sized cameras.
Best Flexible Tripod

I’ve purchased 2 other more affordable tripods, but they broke after 1 use. Both tripods broke as I torqued the camera onto the tripod…head snapped completely off. This Joby Gorillapod is well made and is still working fine after 2 international trips.
Great Tripod
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great tripod. We use it for all of our family photos. It is a lot smaller than the cheap $4 ones you can get on sale at some electronics store, but I bought one of those cheap ones and a piece broke of and got itself stuck in my camera the first time I used it. I have not had that problem with the Joby Gorillapod. So far so good.

I’ve been very happy with this. We took it overseas and were very pleased with being able to attach it to nearly anything to get the angle we wanted. I would recommend it. The only minor negative is it is sometimes hard to get it tight enough on, for example, a rail, to stay up, but with some work, we figured it out. Very unique item.
Awesome Product!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Great product, fits almost all cameras. Super easy to use, and small enough to fit in camera case or pocket. Very versatile, can wrap “legs” around literally anything! Veru convenient for amateur to avid photographers! Extremely happy with purchase!
Best tripod out there

I love this thing. I’ve been able to take pictures in situations that would never have worked before.
Piece of cheap garbage
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this thing less than a year ago and have used it perhaps 4 times. I also bought extra clips to accommodate my other cameras. It now won’t release the clip so I can’t get the camera off without unscrewing everything, which kind of defeats the purpose.
The tripod and the extra clips are in the trash. Total waste of money.
fabulous!

Love this tripod! All our friends want one. Now everyone can easily be in the picture without the camera falling over (or falling off the tree branch!).
smart design
