JOBY Tripods

JOBY Tripods

Since 2006, the GorillaPod has become one of the most beloved creative production tools on the market. These intuitive mini tripods centre around three key elements - affordability, simplicity, and flexibility.

Joby even name the GorillaPod range after their weight capacity. This makes navigating their product range incredibly easy, with the GorillaPod 325 having a 325g weight capacity, whilst the heavy-set GorillaPod 5K Kit holds an impressive 5kg. Now just leaves the question of deciding which GorillaPod is right for you?

On-Trend Tripods

By taking a user-centric approach to their product development, Joby now supplies a comprehensive range of creative tools suited to Snapchat, Tiktok, Instagram, and more. This is epitomised by the Joby GorillaPod Mobile Vlogging Kit, which includes a range of accessories; a Beamo Mini LED, Wavo On-Camera Mic, and secondary GoPro Mount.

Camera Types

Smartphones

With modern smartphones having the ability to manage the full creative process from start to finish, Joby has released a full range of Gorilla Tripods specifically suited to mobile content creation. This includes but is not limited to; shooting social media campaigns, branded visual content, stop motion animation, vlogging, and travel videography. These select models are universally compatible with any phone with a width of 56 - 91mm, and a maximum depth of 14mm.

Action Cameras

For the more adventurous among us, a Gorilla Tripod can be the perfect mounting system for your action camera. The rugged construction and minimal form-factor massively lends itself to this visual format, whilst the ability to bring the tripod legs together to form a selfie-stick or mini steadicam is a massive advantage for travelling image-makers on the go. 

DSLRs & Mirrorless Cameras

For seasoned vloggers looking for a more portable DSLR or mirrorless camera rig suited to on-the-go content creation, nothing even comes close to the Joby Gorilla Tripod series. The GorillaPod 5K is especially noteworthy. By no means is this a replacement for a full-size video tripod system, however, it is a worthwhile creative companion for content creators, amateur vloggers, and everyone in between!

Accessories

There is also a wide range of Gorilla Tripod accessories available, that are tailored to mobile vloggers looking for an all-in-one audiovisual system. This includes on-camera shotgun mics, lav mics, arm extensions, LED kits, and even a tablet mount! 

With so much out there, it is best to have a good understanding of the type of content that you are hoping to produce before diving into the wide world of Gorilla Tripod accessories. For example, if you are hoping to stream content directly from your phone, a simple LED light and shotgun mic would perfectly complement a mid-size GorillaPod system.
