Excellent. Basically indestructible: tested by rambunctious toddler

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2020

I used it with a Sony a6600, a mid weight lens, a full size teleprompter, small light and mic. This is a bad idea I am NOT recommending YOU do this but I risked it and it worked well. So its very sturdy.

When my kid is in my office/studio I give it to him to put his hand me down point and shoot cam I gave him on it and he pretends he is me then tries to make crazy shapes out of the legs. So again, sturdy. There is no other equipment I have that I can just hand to him to play with while he's bored.

Its a liiiitttle too expensive but whatever: buy well, buy once, cry once.

Floppy legs in less than two years.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2023

Initially the tripod served me well, but in less than two years the leg joints got so floppy that there were unable to support my Nikon Z-6. What a waste of money.

Amazing cross-country photo travel accessory for my motorcycle treks.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022

I travel cross country on my motorcycle and enjoy photographing scenic views, iconic venues, group pictures and selfies. Because of my limited travel storage space, this tripod's size, sturdiness, and ability to adjust itself to a variety of uneven surfaces makes it a vital part travel gear. Although the Joby Gorillapod is a bit pricey, I will not compromise my valued camera outfit or a once in a lifetime image on an inferior product.

A little stiff and heavy but it hold my Sony a5100 in place really well and steady. I added in a light and it all balances out really nicely. A must get.

Less weight than a full tripod

Great when you travel and don't want to carry your tripod but still want to take something that you might need. This one can not only stand but can hang from places. Highly recommended specially if you get it on sale. I did ;)

Surprised how well it holds, great investment for very flexible usage

Day one out of the box I was impressed and used it for a couple of shots using various attachments. Needless to say it allowed me to be more hands-on with other equipment & capture everything in one go. Looking forward to using this for a ton of projects/shoots indoor & out. If you are reading this now, chances are its a good sign that you not only want something like this, but you will be glad you did once you have it.

I suspect this would support a VCR tape camera (old school) with a humongous lens. Very well made with 2 accessory arms for lights, etc. For my mirrorless APS-C Sony I should have gone for it's little brother Joby, but this works fine.

I was worried it would hold, no issues though :)

I use this with a Canon 5d Mark iv, Grip and my 70-200 L4 and thought it may tip or move with that heavy of gear, but nope holds perfectly every time. I have also used it with the 24-70 F4 as well which has some weight but it doesn't extend as far as the 70-200 and no issues there either. The only thing I noticed is that when I attach it to my bag the arms that hold the accessories do loosen a bit, I check to make sure everything is tight before I use it and all good.

Missing the 1/4" to 3/8" adapter to attach ballhead to base

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

The kit was incomplete due to missing the 1/4" to 3/8" screw adapter that's required to attach the ballhead (3/8" female) to tripod base (1/4" male). Required ordering this separately. Update: I located the missing item in the outer shipping packaging, it had fallen out of the Joby packaging. Suggestion to avoid this in the future would be to put plastic wrapping around this part. I updated my rating.

Still the best option for vlogging

I originally bought the 3K version and loved it but it was too small for my Canon 90D with the battery grip. After getting the 5K I am really impressed and absolutely love it!
