Best joby for my G7x Mark II

Bought for my G7X Mark II I argued between 325 and 500. 320 was good but seems too light for the G7X, but 500 was just perfect.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Suitable for Samsung S8+

I bought the 325g version which worked fine until I came across it. I bought the 3K, 1K and finally the 500g versions. The 500 is perfect: slightly bigger and stronger. 1K is a lot and 3K is overkill.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Damaged

A very versatile tool for your camera.

Video recording versatility. I use this daily for work. It can be used to fix the camera, e.g. B. a tripod or monopod. I also use it as a counterweight to keep the camera stable and also as a grip for extra grip when filming.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Operating speed

Was surprised how short it was but now we love it!

Was looking for a 15 inch GorillaPod but happened to buy this 15 cm GorillaPod. Ouch! However, now we totally love it. It keeps our Selfila video conferencing lamp on our zoom station most of the time, but is also the perfect size for the camera-loving traveler. Pocket or backpack size for easy portability!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Issue

Versatile but not durable!

Great versatility for a small mirrorless camera or iPhone/smartphone. I was looking for a lightweight, versatile hiking and travel tripod that could replace my heavy tripod. It was very functional but broke the second time I used it on a camping trip. It's not the most durable product and I ended up losing one of the legs as they popped out so easily. It's a functional tripod, just not strong at all. For ease of use, it should be golden.

Pros
  • Have fun
Cons
  • No power

Great for the Canon G7X Mark ii

Designed for use with my Canon G7X Mark ii on hikes where I need a long exposure tripod, this little one Tripod is the right one did a pretty good job for my needs. It was the right size for Canon's weight, so I had no problem with it tipping over even when I pointed the camera straight up at the night sky. The pivot ball in the head is quite stiff, but I'm hoping it will loosen up a bit as I use it more often. It fits nicely in the outer mesh pocket of my backpack for quick access, it's fairly

Pros
  • Stability: rubberized rings and footrests add stability in difficult terrain
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Simple and works well with the Lenovo Mirage camera.

This is my first GorillaPod and now I'm sorry I didn't buy it a year ago. I wanted something to use with a 360 camera for an amusement park so I could easily mount it on a fence instead of having to bring a tripod. The new GorillaPod models are designed for 360 degree cameras and have removed the locking button at the base to keep it out of the shots. It appears to be well built and works great.

Pros
  • Stability: rubberized rings and footrests add stability on uneven terrain
Cons
  • Updates available

HANDLES AND STURDY BUT NOT DURABLE

14 MONTH UPDATE: It broke after very little use over the past year. A cracked ball was forming on one of the legs. Was a five star rating, now three. sorry jobi ++++++++ ORIGINAL REVIEW: As described, it is stable as a tripod and also grips with your feet when you wrap it around. Tips for Google Pixel XL users: Turn off Active Edge before using it as the clip tends to activate it. Also, the Pixel XL requires you to place a clip under the volume knob to prevent it from controlling the volume. If

Pros
  • Flexibility: flexible legs wrap around objects for unlimited angles and precise composition control
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
