    This mount is AWESOME! I use it to hold my webcam for live streams and have it attached to my monitor riser - it holds the camera steady and at the perfect distance. It's also super versatile and can be attached to basically anything, and is moveable enough to adjust my camera at different angles when needed. It also comes with a phone attachment which I use for both my GoPro and my phone to stream card games and live Lego building. It's INCREDIBLY sturdy. It can be a little bulky depending on where you're wanting to use it but I have complete confidence that my equipment won't fall or be damaged because of that. It also includes an attachment that locks in and slides off, so switching out cameras is a breeze. Would absolutely recommend!

    The Joby GorillaPod 3K is a versatile and innovative tripod that offers a unique level of flexibility and stability. Its bendable legs allow you to attach it to various surfaces and angles, making it perfect for capturing shots from unconventional perspectives. The 3K model is well-suited for lightweight DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, providing a stable platform for both photography and video recording. However, some users might find its load capacity a bit limited for heavier equipment. Overall, the GorillaPod 3K is a handy tool for creative photographers and videographers who want portability without sacrificing stability.

    Great small tripod for every occasion!

    Just for starters if you shoot photos, videos, or anything with your camera/phone/GoPro I would say this is a must have just incase. - whats it for - This is great for larger cameras and will hold a lot but it also works great for my GoPro and the screw mount for my iPhone. But you can also use it to hold other things like lights and mics with the screw spot! I use this all the time for different shots I couldn't get by my self or to wrap around a tree branch and hold my camera or other device! Can even be straight and used as normal small tripod - build quality - this is a great piece that does what its supposed to do and it feels very sturdy in the hands or when you wrap it around something like a metal pole to hold your camera. There is a top mount that is quick release which gives you options to keep that mounted to one device and move it off this tripod. Or use the second screw mount if you want to take the top swivel off and quick release. Yes the quick release has a knob based tightening system to swivel the device around, up/down, side to side or adjust the angle after you get the base gripped to something. This seems like it will hold up and would be good to have just incase you need a shot like this, many different uses over the average tripod and you might not think you need it until you get that shot and you can't fit your other stuff there you can grab on with this and use which ever camera you have with you. I would say this is a great addition to any camera bag or even someone shooting with just their phone or an action camera it works great. Good packaging, awesome device and I mean something to help get cool photos and videos that works with multiple devices!

    This is a nice sturdy stand, capable of holding an IPad with the correct iPad mount (there are plenty of them out there). I actually bought an IPad mini 6, and this tripod to use as a bedroom TV instead of hanging a big TV on the wall, and spending the same amount of money. That way I can take it with me, unlike a bedroom TV. The only issue I had with this tripod is in the phone mount itself. The mount is nice and tight, but where it slides into the ball mount of the tripod, it was really loose. I had to put some electrical tape on the bottom of the piece that slides in so it wasn't loose. Other than that, it's super high quality. It has a lot of uses. You can use this to hold an iPad, iPhone with the included mount. It's also nice for zoom calls, FaceTime, etc. I still gave it a 5 star rating, because overall, it's high quality and BestBuy N Canton (OH) was nice enough to price match Amazon at nearly $30 off retail price.

    The advertising, photos and the box indicate that it includes the phone mount but in reality they did not include it and I was unpleasantly surprised with that. Now I will have to make an additional expense and it will take time again to look for phone mount and wait for it to be brought home for another three days and I needed it urgently. They should comply with what they offer in their publication or otherwise not offer it and indicate that it does not include the phone mount so as not to trust that it will arrive included and thus buy a separate one to have everything together when it is urgently needed.

    Best Desktop/Short Tripod I've Ever Owned

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pretty much the perfect desktop/shorter-form factor tripod for utilizing a webcam, phone, or even a DSLR. I purchased two of these, one to mount a Logitech StreamCam, and another to mount an old iPhone (being used as an additional webcam). The tripod has a traditional camera mount, but also includes a solidly built clamp-style phone holder. On the DSLR end, I was curious as to how well the bendy legs would work, but they're very, very sturdy and do a great job of easily sustaining the weight, as well as allowing you to do some really unique things with angles and positions... it can be used as a traditional tripod, or you can hook the legs around things to achieve different looks (super good if you're doing video or photo remotely). As an aside, it looks like something from a Tim Burton movie, and that's not a knock. Super good product. It's not huge, but it has the heft of a well built product. Last thing, I usually don't like socket-style joints on smaller tripods, but these may have brought me around. These things really stay in place once you've battened them down. In the photo, thje new hotness says goodbye to the old and busted.

    Stand performing as expected. Grips properly around cylindrical objects and stays firm. On table, so many angles available. Only issue is the manfrotto iPhone clamp that is advertised but not provided since some generic item is added in its place

    I was looking for something a little more stable for my GoPro camera. I caught this On Sale and bought it....After using a couple of times, I went back and purchased a 2nd one. It is well made and come with a LEVEL, which is super handy for getting camera straight. I mostly use it for my Back Yard Bird videos and also to attach my Tascam DR-05X personal Digital Recorder as well. I 100% Recommend this item!

    This is an amazing product. It is very versatile in the many ways you can use it. It works well on my IPhone 11 Pro Max with a case. One thing and it’s a preference more than a hinderance... make the mount plate out of high grade aluminum vs plastic.

    So late I didn't know about all this 1K and 3K stuff so like I was over here with my old Joby wondering why my camera was like you know limping and having performance anxiety and stuff cuz that thing would be falling messing up my camera and then I heard that they came out with this 3k and I was like oh that's probably what I need and then it came with a phone holder for vertical and horizontal now that's what I'm talking about and I got it on sale That's what's more important. Never seen a phone holder like that for the TikTok and for the filming
