Mobile videographers, rejoice! Tripod and accessory maker Joby has unveiled two new mini-tripod smartphone stands, designed to help users record smooth, steady video on the go. The stands are based on a smartphone mount, which clamps onto phones measuring between 2.2 and 3.6" wide, inclusive of protective bumpers or cases. The stand connects to a panning and tilting head that uses an aluminum arm for precise pan and tilt operation. The tilt function can be locked in place for a fluid pan without vertical movement.
The difference between the stands is in the base. The GripTight PRO Video Mount uses a standard tripod base, while the GripTight PRO Video GP Stand features one of Joby’s famous GorillaPod mini-tripods. Each leg in the GorillaPod is made of interlocking ball-and-socket segments that flex any way you please, so you can wrap the legs securely around signposts, pipes, tree branches, and more. Whichever base you choose, the head and smartphone mount can be removed and used on the tripod or monopod of your choice, using its ¼"-20 connector.
