Joby JB01502 GorillaPod 500, Black/Charcoal

The JOBY GorillaPod 500 is a compact, flexible tripod suited for sub-compact cameras, point & shoot, 360 cameras and other devices weighing up to 500 grams. The tripod has a unique, flexible design which allows it to be mounted on almost any surface, making it ideal for use in various environments. However, there have been reports of the ball joint being stiff but applying a small amount of vaseline seems to solve the issue. This tripod might not be suitable for larger devices like a portable projector, which makes it unstable, and it may struggle to hold an a6000 with a lens on, but it's perfect for a sub-compact camera like the Canon G7X Mark III. Additionally, it does not come with smartphone holder mount adapter. Reviews: The product has received mixed reviews. It seems to be very sturdy and stable for sub-compact cameras, given that it supports them well. Some customers have mentioned that despite their initial excitement with the tripod, they have had issues with the legs not rocking tight enough around objects to support the camera's weight. On the other hand, some reviewers seem to be satisfied with their purchase, stating that it is perfect for vlogging and that it can be held easily to capture shots seamlessly. The tripod is also much appreciated by YouTubers who were previously handling their cameras manually. The build quality has also received mixed feedback; while some customers report it as sturdy and firm, others have had issues with the ball joint cracking and joints not gripping tight.
