JOBY Action Series

JOBY, makers of the popular GorillaPod tripod, have teamed up with GoPro to develop some cool new tripods and mounts, which they've dubbed the Action Series.

There are four items in this series:

  • GorillaPod Action Tripod: Essentially the same as the normal GorillaPod – meaning the sturdy-but-flexible legs can be wrapped around objects – but specifically designed to hold a GoPro, Contour, or Sony Action Cam. ($40)

  • Action Clamp & Locking Arm: Instead of flexible legs, this one has a clamp for mounting onto various surfaces, even a skateboard. Has two arm joints for positioning the camera. ($40)

  • Action Clamp & GorillaPod Arm: Same idea as above, but with a flexible arm resembling a GorillaPod leg. Allows for quicker positioning of the camera between shots, but probably not as sturdy. ($30)

  • GPod Mini Magnetic: A miniature version of the GorillaPod Action Tripod, with strongly magnetic feet for attaching to metal surfaces. Compatible with smartphones if used with a GripTight Mount, which is sold separately. ($15)
