JB01505-BWW GorillaPod 325

I don't know much about cameras, but I do know that this is the perfect size tripod to sling into any bag for a day out with a camera. It also holds its own in the wind with my compact camera. Perfect for my simple needs.

Had one of these around 8 years ago and sold it with a camera. Missed it eversince so bought another. Seems sturdier and stronger. The ball head is not lockable in any way and relies on a constant tight fit to hold in place. This makes it harder to adjust but also easier to use. I would say this is perfect although more expensive than some others which rely on a bendy wire inside a rubber tube for the legs, it does not disappoint!

I have been using the Joby GorillaPod for the past few months with my micro projector. I used to use a micro fixed leg tripod, which worked well, but was not especially durable. As well as this, I found some difficulties getting the positioning right in smaller rooms. This GorillaPod offers unrivalled versatility and has been wonderful to use when travelling. Indeed, I have attached my projector to the frame of a bunkbed, the back rest of a chair and the handle from a set of office draws. You certainly can't do that with a conventional tripod! The GorillaPod relies on a typical screw mount which can be found on most cameras and a myriad of electric devices as universal fitment. It is easy to tighten and hasn't easily come loose in the bottom of my travel backpack. The legs are stiff enough to keep the device securely attached, and do not sag over extended periods of use. The swivel head is quite stiff however, and quite a bit of force needs to be applied to make it move. This can prove a challenge, as that force commonly moves the legs too, leading to a complete reposition being required. Instead, I try and make all adjustments using the legs to avoid this issue. It is also worthwhile noting that any movement in the surface the GorrillaPod is placed on can cause some side-to-side sway. This is more noticeable since the projector is casting a large image on a wall, so small movements make a big difference. However the main issue I have experienced is legs popping off in my backpack. This doesn't happen often, but sometimes half of one of the legs (always the same one) unclips, leading to me having to hunt for it in the bottom of my bag. To rectify this, when not in use, I wrap the legs around each other, which seems to prevent this from happening as frequently. Overall I love my GorillaPod. Great for my needs, and looks quite cool too!

Amazing product, holds well

Struggle to get everything central after use, good for difficult angles but a pain to re centre

Works really well, strong and sturdy

This worked exactly as I expected. It's sturdy and looks like it will take a battering. I know some people have complained it was tight or difficult to move. I haven't experienced this at all. The joints on the legs are as stiff as I'd expect them but any looser and you risk it not gripping onto things. The top ball is tighter but easy enough to move when you've got the camera mounted. All in all it does the job and feels strong enough to last a while.

It’s a decent product but pretty fiddly. Obviously this will vary based on the weight of your camera. I use a Sony A6000

Super pratique, ce trépied conviendra parfaitement pour tout type de téléphone, de caméra compacte, de caméra embarquée et même de reflex (pas optimal). Marche très bien quand même avec mon Canon eos 7D! Bref, un produit de super qualité!

I really like it, it’s perfect and fits my canon g7x, if you’re looking for a short and a light tripod you should get this

Ich habe mich für die kleinen smarten Teile entschieden, weil ich mehrer Aktioncams Besitze und damit gerne flexibel hantiere. Das heißt, an Geländer, zusätzlich ans Kamerastativbein, Fahrrad oder ähnliche Einsatzgebiete. Durch die Gummierung an den Gliedern hält es sehr stark. Ich besitze auch andere Ministative, bei denen Schaumstoff verbaut/angebracht ist. Diese halten nicht so gut und sind zudem nicht so beweglich. Das Joby GorillaPod 325 ist qualitativ gut verbaut und hat ein tollen und festen grip. Allerdings hätte ich mir noch gerne eine Fixierschraube am Kugellager gewünscht, weil es bei eventuellen schwereren Kameras verrutschen kann. Hier kann ich eine klare Kaufempfehlung aussprechen :)

Świetny uchwt, za pomocą którego mocowałem telefon na barierce mostu, kijku narciarskim, głęzi i tablicy infornacyjnej - wszędzie można z nim znaleźć stabilny statyw. Polecam!

I use this device primarily as a stand for viewing my phone. The previous model contained a fatal flaw. It used a ball and socket setup where you connect the camera or phone and the socket would crack, often within a very short amount of time. Once this happened, the device wasn't terribly useful any longer. They have corrected that issue with this updated model and it's a nice improvement.
