    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.

    We purchased this GorillaPod Tripod especially for Christmas. It worked as expected...allowing us to take better group pictures. It can be shaped in a variety of ways.

    It's fine. Picked it up as a cheap desk tripod to use my x100v as a webcam. It feels a bit cheap but its what you'd sorta expect for the price. Wish it had a more proper screw under the plate for the dead so putting it on and off wasn't so awkward, but not really a huge deal.

    This is a great tripod and holder! The tripod is great and easy to adjust to put about anywhere. The holder for the phone is one of the most secure I have used. Good for Zoom calls or making videos.

    Surprisingly rugged and useful. I didn't have high expectations but needed an option to put my webcam up above my monitors for work calls and this was better than I expected! It would actually be better with grippier rubber bottom balls to make it easier to grab onto a base.

    Pretty decent. Going to use for Sony a6100 and hold iphone for video meetings. Actual product different from pic, got black and grey clamps with Joby branding vs black and red clamps and Manfrotto branding.

    Got this thing to help me record tiktoks on my phone and it's honestly made a huge difference. I really like it and do recommend getting one if you need a tripod.

    Sturdy and relatively compact smart phone tripod. It's a bit on the pricy side, but it does feel like it will last 10+ years. You can probably something similar for half the price. Do you really need a Manfrotto phone grip? Probably not.

    I have a canon G7X Mark II and it is a perfect tripod for me. Perfect for Vlogging and and attaching it to objects for shooting time lapse videos and "selfie" shots.

    Besides it being cheap on Black Friday, I find it difficult to use for regular uses like in calls as a phone stand. But, this wasn't made for that-- it was made for recording things and capturing moments; for that, the grip parts are strong and phone holder is strong.

    Bought this for my wife and it has come in handy on several occasions taking pictures outside amongst nature. This is invaluable when you don’t have enough hands or a flat surface available.

    This was so worth the price I paid! My son had a cheaper version of this that he received as a gift. It wouldn't even hold the weight of his phone! This one is outstanding in quality!

    It’s a little challenging to use on irregularly-shaped objects (e.g. wrapping around the back of a chair) but once it’s properly wrapped around something, it’s very sturdy! I use it for my TikTok and my dad uses it for Skype meetings.
