JOBY JB01503-BWW GorillaPod 1K Kit, Flexible Compact Tripod with BallHead for Enhanced Compact and CSC/Mirrorless Camera Up to 1 kg Payload, Black

Product Information

In general, if you own a compact camera or anything weighing less than 500g (1.1 lbs), you can opt for the GorillaPod 325 or 500. If you’re a professional, or an amateur who really values their equipment, I’d recommend you only look at the 3K or 5K.) One seldom touted benefit of a GorillaPod, particularly one as compact as the 325, is that it provides a more substantial hand grip for shooting than using the camera alone.

If you own a mirrorless camera or DSLR, or plan to attach other accessories to the GorillaPod, the 1K, 3K or 5K are most suitable. Super compact flexible tripod stand for lightweight compact cameras, point & shoots and 360/action cameras. The GorillaPod 500 has been made to support high-end compact and point and shoot cameras, such as the Sony RX100 series or Canon PowerShot G series cameras – anything up to the weight of 500 g (1 lb). There’s also a cut-away section to allow fast and easy portrait orientation positioning of your device.

i) Fixed– the GorillaPod head screws in directly to the tripod hole on the base of your camera. To remove your camera, you need to unscrew the entire GorillaPod. There are 2 main factors to consider when choosing a GorillaPod. 1. Maximum Weight of Object(s) to be Supported Precisely control and angle your compact or smaller DSLR and mirrorless camera, thanks to the ball head

I say ‘combined’, since often you’ll need to take into account a camera body plus lens, or even additional video equipment like lighting, mics, and monitors. Pro Tip: If in doubt, always go for the GorillaPod rated one higher than your considered max weight capacity. i.e. even if you own a lightweight Sony a6000, I’d still recommend choosing the GorillaPod 1K, just in case you ever attach a heavy lens. 2. Means of Attachment Made from durable materials such as stainless steel and ABS plastic, allows you to take this tripod out and aboutWhy? Well because the GorillaPod 5K Kit is the strongest of the lot, and is most likely to be able to provide the securest, most reliable support for any equipment with a 1/4″ tripod mount hole in its base… as long as its combined weight is under 5 kg (6.6 lbs), of course.

There’s not much more to say about the GorillaPod 500 – it’s a simple bit of kit that allows you to stabilize or secure your compact camera in places that wouldn’t normally be possible. Ideal for a variety of uses including photography and cinematography, vlogging and selfies, live streaming online Removable BallHead 1K can be used with the GorillaPod 1K stand or with any other tripod with a standard 1/4"-20 mountWhile the legs are available separately, I can’t think of a good reason why you’d want to buy a GorillaPod without the head (which included with the Kit). However, that’s not to say that the build quality of the GorillaPod 325 isn’t great – it’s just that everything feels that much smaller. Perhaps it’s just my big hands…! BallHead 1K offers full 360° panning and 90° tilting, meaning you can create more versatile content from different angles This is the macdaddy of all GorillaPods – the one Casey Neistat and all other famous YouTubers use to support their vlogging rigs. The main thing you need to work out when selecting a GorillaPod is the combined weight of the object you want it to carry.
