JOBY - GorillaPod 1K Kit 15" Tripod - Black/Red/Charcoal

I've had a GorillaPod in the past, some 8 years ago, and used it with my DSLR and GoPro cameras to great avail. This time I made the purchase as I have a portable 15" monitor that is 2lbs with a tripod mount screw hole in the back and I wanted some flexibility in its position when in use. This GorillaPod more than meets my needs by far! The legs are not difficult to position for the best support and don't creep at all once positioned. It's rated to hold 2.2lbs and my monitor is 2lbs. I have the threaded camera mount turned to screw into the back of my monitor while keeping it upright instead of the mount pointing straight up like you would for a camera. It's still supporting my monitor with nothing but this tripod and on top of my soundbar no less after several days with one of the legs bent in what you might think is a slightly awkward position, yet there is still no shifting or creep in the tripod's position! Heck I even have an external conference webcam on top of my monitor now and it's still going great. The included phone holder is great, but with one mild gripe. The release lever on the back is very very difficult to pull free the first time and any time it's fully latched. Otherwise everything is great.

Everything was in the box and in good condition. Have had this for about a month now. Really easy to use, light weight, and sturdy. One thing I noticed is the ring plushie ring around screw has started to come off, even though I don’t use it daily. So keep in mind for the price it’s great for those in a pinch but in the future you might want to upgrade.

A small yet sturdy tripod great for trips and travel. It’s light and small form factor don’t compromise the utility of it whatsoever. However, the reason for 4/5 stars is because the screw that connects the phone clamp to the tripod base is too short. As such, if you rotate the clamp too much it can loosen itself from the base, and then you’d be at risk of the clamp that’s holding your phone from falling off the tripod.

Excited to add this tripod as part of my go-to camera gear. Love the articulation of the joints and the stability when holding my camera. @agthaphotog

I was contemplating getting a tripod for a while but wasn't sure which would be best for me. After reading reviews online, I learned Joby was the top brand and boy I am I glad I listened to them! This tripod is so great and sturdy. I also really like how adaptable it is. I can use my digital camera or I can use my phone with the phone mount that is included in this bundle. It's so worth the price! Also I ordered this online and it got to my house the next day!!! What luck!
