Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Mini-Tripod with Medium Ballhead
Items not shown to scale
The Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom with Medium Ballhead is an ultra-versatile mini-tripod or grip that can be used with large SLR cameras with zoom lens attached or with camcorders (max. load capacity of 6.6 lb/3 kg). Its three multi-segmented flexible legs can be formed to grip almost any protrusion, be it a branch, doorknob, rock, or uneven surface.

Each of the joints can bend and rotate 360°, to wrap around objects. The bottom rubber segment on the legs is larger to allow it to be used in the traditional way.

The included Medium Ballhead is a ballhead for use with most 35mm, digital & light medium format cameras. It features a large padded camera stage for stability, and an easy to grip locking wheel.

      Sunpak Medium Ballhead poorly engineered

      Best Uses

        Comments about Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Mini-Tripod with Medium Ballhead:

        After minimal use and with ordinary care, the ballhead and plate broke, separated or simply failed rendering the ballhead useless. The design of that joint leaves much to be desired. That plus the Gorillapod really isn't steady enough for a Nikon D-70 with any zoom in my case.

          Comments about Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Mini-Tripod with Medium Ballhead:

          I've used this a couple of times now and it has worked great. I have a fairly heavy Nikon 18-200 and it does good job of supporting my camera in unusual situations. More recently I was in New York and my Gorillapod allowed me to take some fantastic long exposures (hanging off the balcony of a NYC apartment). Highly recommended![...]

            Great for travel, hiking, biking, macro, everything..
            It fits in everything, fits on everything, grabs on everything. The most handy accesory i have at the moment for my dslr. A little hard to adjust smetimes, but that only results in better stability - you can't have everything!
            I'll recomend it to every camerauser i know.

            Comments about Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Mini-Tripod with Medium Ballhead:

            I use the Joby to support my flashes whenever possible. I do a lot of wireless bounce-flash photography using my Nikon D200 cameras, SB-800 and SB-600 flashes. I prefer using the Joby instead of my light stands since it can be placed high-up and out of the way of clumsy feet. Of course, you do need something for the Joby to grab on to. This limitation is dependent on the location.

            Awesome product !

            Comments about Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Mini-Tripod with Medium Ballhead:

            Now Dad can be in the pictures.This is the coolest thing ever, when a traditional tripod wont do, gorillapod it.We use this everywhere, works as advertised and gets lots of compliments.It came in handy at the Zoo, way to crowded for a tripod. So I just wrapped it around a fence post and used the ML-L3 remote for my Nikon.And now our family pictures are complete. Awesome product I recommend it and B&H to all my friends.

            Expertise: Advanced Amateur

            Problems Encountered: Not a one.

            Previous Equivalent Item Owned: Small tripods all models

            Items I Recommend: ML-L3 remote for Nikon or what ever remote your camera uses

            The best tripod is the one you always have with you...

            Comments about Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Mini-Tripod with Medium Ballhead:

            ...And I always have it with me because it fits in the bag.This is a great gadget! I get lots of oohs and ahs when Ishow it to fellow photogs. The Gorillapod is a lot moreuseful with a ball head. Just wrap it around a post, chairor anything else that's handy. (Or just set it up as atripod) The legs really do stay in position and they griplike mad.The included Sunpak ball head is decent enough for the joband plenty cheap.
