    These are great tripods. You can put em anywhere. I also love the phone attachment. It’s sturdy and does just what you need it to do.

    Great for traveling. Keep in mind a dslr or mirrorless is gonna be a tad too heavy for this tripod. You can still use it for them, but definetly better options out there.

    Works as advertised. Needed a tripod to take some family photos and this worked out. The bluetooth shutter control was the main difference between this one and another tripod that we looked at.

    Perfect addition to my camera bag. Can use with a phone, GoPro, or small mirrorless camera. Anything heavier and you’ll want to go with a larger one.

    I love the tripod but this is my third one they keep breaking and I don’t do rough work with it at all. The ring holding the top of the legs crack and the leg get really loose and it won’t hold the phone anymore

    I love my little Gorilla Pod. I used it to share an online course to hold my phone so my friend could see and hear the computer screen via facetime call. I also bought the attachment to hold my iPad. Very pleased with my purchase and convenience.

    Best mini tripod yet. Sturdy and the phone clip is epic, I’ve used this on a monopod and tripod and works incredibly well, Does not disappoint. Make sure to not move the head without loosing with knob, otherwise it may wear out quicker.

    Slightly confusing phone mount, but after reading the manual it made more sense. I’ve never used a JOBY stand before, but I needed a camera stand for my zoom classes. It worked perfectly and it wasn’t too short or too tall for my desk.

    Because I don't have two sets of arms and hands, I needed something that would allow me to record myself with my camera for a video series I'm making at work. The GorillaPod does the trick. It's well made and sturdy. I'm getting a lot of use out of it.

    NO PHONE ADAPTER

    Please be mindful: the product itself is great, it's the second one I've purchased from Best Buy. It's durable, easy to use, and will work for just about any situation you could need it for. The one star review is specifically directed as Best Buy's inability to disclose the product specifications accurately, and even going as far as to re-use the reviews of the predecessor of this item for this, nearly identical product. I purchased the first one of these in-store, over a year ago. That exact version of product shows as no longer available when I look at my purchase history online. This is the replacement, and it DOES NOT contain the phone adapter. The original DID include it. Buying this online, I had to go off of the limited information in specifications and no pictures of the box; other than those in the reviews, which showed the box that I had purchased over a year ago, explicitly stating "contains phone adapter". Again, THIS DOES NOT CONTAIN THE PHONE ADAPTER. THIS PRODUCT IS USELESS TO ME IN THIS FORM. Best Buy, this is SPECIFICALLY your fault, and had it not been for the fact that you re-used the reviews of another product for this one, I would've shrugged and said oh well. But the seeming maliciousness with which you did not specify what this product contained and mislead customers using reviews for an entirely different item has rankled my mood and destroyed much of the trust that I had Best Buy.

    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.

    Not much to this guy but for any camera work when you don't have anyone to hold the camera and you don't want that selfie look, grab one of these and latch those legs around something. It stays in place and gets the job done.
