    This is exactly what I needed. The legs are bendy enough to get all sorts of angles and can wrap around things so it doesn't just have to be set on a surface, you can hang it from a door knob, etc.

    As im using it now to make this review.. it’s a great tool to hold your phone for hands free photo/video taking.. the flexibility for it to contour to most places (stair rail, poles, arm rest, etc) doubles it’s worth.. only thing that could make it better is it being able to turn 180 degrees instead of just 90..

    Very Useful for Smaller Form Cameras

    All of the Joby GorillaPod equipment is very useful. Just make sure you buy the correct size for what you need. This is perfect for GoPro or point-and-shoot cameras but I would recommend the bigger ones for anything like a mirrorless camera.

    Was quite surprised with the tripod, it’s more stable than I expected and weighed a little less than expected. I haven’t yet tried it with my very heavy glass yet, but have used it for my dslr with stock glass, worked well.

    I already had the smaller Joby tripod with magnetic feet, but needed something a little taller. I wished it also had magnetic feet, but the rubber feet on this one are a lot grippier than the smaller version, so it stays put really well. It feels like a quality product, and the fact that the Best Buy version came with a phone clamp made me purchase from them. The clamp feels like great quality too, unlike a lot of other clamps for these type of mini tripods; the clamp spring is super strong and it even has a locking mechanism to keep it from opening once you’re phone is in it, although it’s hard to see how this thing would accidentally open with how strong the spring is. Overall this has become my fave mini tripod, and was worth the price despite it being a little more expensive than others.

    This is my first Joby tripod. So far I really love it. It is super flexible and can be adjusted easily. I hope the phone mount lasts and doesn’t break. It’s a little stiff, but so far so good.

    This gorilla pod 1k kit is perfect for your lighter weight cameras. I use this for nature photography with my pinhole and toy cameras and it is awesome for balancing on uneven surfaces like roots and rocks. This new version is a great deal!
