Review on JOBY Gorillapod 1K Stand: Lightweight Flexible Tripod for Mirrorless Cameras up to 1Kg (2.2Lbs) – Black/Charcoal by John Ramsey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

pictures are deceptive. The item is much smaller.

This item is much smaller than shown in the photos. It's advertised to work with mirrorless cameras, but my a6300, with its tiny kit lens, has a hard time balancing without tipping over. I'm not sure I would trust him not to knock over and drop my camera. Connections also come loose a lot easier than I think. I would not feel safe being out of range of my camera. Edit: Less than 3 months old and the rivets on the bottom of both legs are broken. Couldn't be happier with it.

Pros
  • Beautifully packaged
Cons
  • Discontinued model
