Review on 1K Ball Head By Joby: Boost Your Camera'S Stability And Maneuverability by Russell Ross

Revainrating 2 out of 5

UPDATE: Doesn't work for very long

Update on 12/10/19:After initially thinking this item was incredible, I've now run into a problem. After using a mount for my iphone I decided I needed a ball head so I could turn my phone in different directions. I, of course, ordered the Joby ball head from amazon. It screwed right onto the Gorillapod with no problems but now about a month of using the set up the ball head will no longer screw into the Gorillapod 3K stand. No matter what I tried it didn't work. Of course the warranty has expired so I have a nice desk ornament, although I can use it no problem with the iPhone adapter which still screws in with no problems. I took off 3 stars for this problem because everything I purchased was made by Joby which is too bad because I really liked this setup and thought they made a good product but the proof is in the pudding and right now this pudding is not as good as it should be. Shame on you Joby for making such an inferior product that fails so easily and quickly. But fool that I am, I'm giving them another chance to make it right and bought the complete kit again because it was on sale on Walmart for $49.99 (plus tax).

Pros
  • The ball joint allows for easy maneuverability, so you can change your camera's angle quickly and effortlessly
Cons
  • Limited availability
