GorillaPod Focus and Accessories

It’s well-known that a high-quality tripod must be in the equipment kit of every photographer who wants their shots to be sharp and cares about framing. However, there are times when even professional photographers simply cannot carry so much weight on them.

Joby company launched a new product called GorillaPod, which is just perfect for situations like these. It’s lightweight, small, and flexible! Simply take it along and fasten it to anything you see. And now let’s review it.

GorillaPod is an 11.4 inches or 29 centimeters high well-built tripod. Pretty small, isn’t it? Yes, it is, but that is not why it’s so awesome. The most important function of this tripod is that you can use its three solid legs made of aluminum and covered with rubber to cling it to any objects in the environment.

Another great thing about GorillaPod is that it only weights 1.1 pound or 0.5 kilo and it means that you can bend its legs, put it in your pocket or bag, and forget about it until you need to use it.
