JOBY GorillaPod 3K PRO Stand (Black/Charcoal)

Works great, and I particularly appreciate the sturdy feel of the metal with our gear. It unlocks some really dynamic camera placement in a variety of situations without the weight/size of a full tripod.

I experimented with another (non pro) GorillaPod model before exchanging it to upgrade to the PRO model, and I am not at all disappointed with that decision. The upgraded ball head, easy release mount, smooth pan, and sturdy construction are all abundantly improved over the base model I previously tried. The legs were a bit stiff to maneuver at first, but have gradually loosened a bit over time (though I hope it won't become TOO loose, as I've read in some reviews). This holds my mirrorless camera tightly with ease, even at awkward, seemingly precarious angles. I ESPECIALLY love this product when combined with MagSafe iPhone mount -- I can easily swap between my camera & phone in seconds. This would be 5 stars if it were a bit cheaper -- this costs almost as much as my Manfrotto 63 tripod which I feel is much more elevated in terms of quality & versatility, though of course there are very different use cases for the two devices. However, the ability to update this rig over time with add-ons is a very positive factor as well. Thankfully, also bundled in a free Joby Beamo with my order (.60+ value), so in that way I'd say that this is more than worth the price tag (but keeping my review at 4 stars since I'm not positive that will always include that bundled freebie in the future when someone else may be reading this review).

Compre este modelo y al poco uso se comenzaron a desprender partes de los brazos , logre que la marca me respondiera y me cambiara el producto , al tiempo de uso ocurri lo mismo. El uso solo ha sido solo con cmaras pequeas (Gopro), jamas le confiara el agarre de una cmara ms grande .

This is much stronger than my old Joby from years ago. The Arca Swiss clamp is beautiful, except that it takes a while to neuter the pop-up button that interferes with proper RRS Arca Swiss plates occasionally. Highly recommend for light carry to take pics in the dark.
