Description of ๐Ÿ“ธ Joby GorillaPod Starter Kit with Flexible Mini Tripod, Universal Smartphone Clamp, GoPro and Torch Mount - Up to 325g Payload

The tripod's ball-and-socket design enables you to stand it on any surface or wrap and hold onto any tree branch or railing you can find. The 1/4"-20 threaded camera mount allows you to thread on a compact camera or other accessories with the same size socket. The flashlight/microphone mount is a spring-loaded grip with TPE rubber pads to hold these accessories with diameters between 18 and 32mm. The smartphone clamp has a Tightening Shock Cord grip that you pull on to hold smartphones with screens up to 6" and that weigh up to 0. 7 lb. The GoPro mount provides a stable support for an action camera.

The thing only works in landscape mode, not in portrait mode.

This isn't very functional as portrait and landscape do nothing for what I need it for. I used different mounts to allow the item to fit the portrait. Unfortunately they don't have high quality legs. If only I could swap them

Pros
  • The Flashlight/Microphone Mount is a spring-loaded handle with thermoplastic elastomer rubber grommets for attaching these accessories from 18mm to 32mm in diameter.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Bad Price - Camera and Photo

Everything is fine. I bought it to mount a flashlight as Joby no longer makes Blade flashlight which I really liked. I was disappointed because the legs here are much shorter and non-magnetic. The flashlight clamp is not very tight, so it moves a little. It could be better. I didn't like the design of the smartphone holder. Overall, the $25 kit just didn't feel like value for money. I found that if you pull hard enough you can spread your legs, so I was able to swap out the legs on this deviceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The ball joint tripod design allows you to place it on any surface or wrap and hold on to any tree branch or railing you find.
Cons
  • Update availability

Other models may be better

The Joby range is confusing. Here are the gorilla pods, hold on, 325 names, functions, numbers. I ended up buying this starter kit. It works, Joby is fun, I love the flexible legs. The elastic holder seems to be quite durable. If you don't need all the connectors, be sure to purchase one of the other kits. This comes with several different connectors. The only thing I needed was a phone holder that uses an elastic band to secure the phone in place. It works initially, but I can imagine that the

Pros
  • The GoPro mount provides a stable support for your action camera.
Cons
  • Not everything fits
