JOBY - GorillaPod 1K plus Kit Tripod - Black/Red/Charcoal

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!

Perfect for what I needed it for. Attached flash and wrapped the legs around a fence for perfect back ligh

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.

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.

It’s great if you want to take pictures and/or videos at different angles. I love the adjustable stands so I can have it at any height I need. I also love how flexible the stand is so I can put it on anything and it stays in place. It is very sturdy. I am also able to record without having to hold it so I can use both of my hands.

I had an old first gen Gorilla pod that lasted for years. Then went cheap... a couple of times. They just don't stack up against JOBY designs. This tripod is solid. Even after three plus months now of steady use the joints are as equally tight as when I purchased it. Highly recommended!

Use this with my Canon G7x ii as my vlogging setup. It's mainly used for handheld and table shots. It adds ease to my kids using the camera attached. The flexibility of the legs helps in those situations where I have to improvise by bending them to fit the space I have and for those walking shots.

This is a fantastic tripod. You can use it in a lot of different places because of the bendable legs that can be wrapped around different surfaces. Fantastic and I highly recommend if you are looking for a great travel tripod for your phone.
