I bought this to take on a trip to Europe. It was small enough to carry around and served its purpose quite well.

A Must have for all GoPro Users

This is a fantastic tripod that can be mounted just about anywhere. The legs are long enough to wrap around most objects. The level is fairly adequate when indicating if the surface is horizontal. It also includes a quick release mount designed to work with GoPro's proprietary system. I can't believe how incredibly useful this tripod has proven itself. It has now moved up on my list of must haves when shooting.

It is a nice and very compact tripod. But if you apply just a little load to the arms they will fall apart. I did not expected this from Joby, not for this price.
The mount clip is not sold separately so if you loose it, you’ll have to get a new one

This is perfect for time lapse photos with the GoPro camera that I use it with. Able to use it in different ways and the bubble level Is perfect for making sure your shots are level to your subject if you want.

It is really good and strong unless you are underwater snorkeling.
It is hard to keep it in a standing position underwater even in a quiet pool. It lacks stability or more weight to avoid to be drag it underwater. Tested with a GoPro 3 Hero, in a quiet pool 6' and shallow 15' beach. Recommended unless you're underwater.

This is a great beginner tripod. The design is much better than some of the others out there that can pinch you when adjusting them. I have not been pinched by this one yet!

Similar to other gorillapod products, except smaller and designed specifically with the GoPro mount in mind. It's nice that it also comes with a traditional tripod mount so you could use it with small point-and-shoot cameras also.
The leg joints were extremely stiff when I first got the product and have loosened considerably after several sessions of use. I hope they don't continue to loosen or it will cease to be very functional. One of the legs recently popped out of the base, but I was able to stick it back in and have since super-glued it in place.

My son is an aspiring YouTuber(JJBoy Vlogs) and he uses this thing everyday to film his videos. He switches between his Action Cam and his iPhone 7. The legs are a bit stiff but they do move to any position desired. He has gone through quite a few cheaper imitation Joby tripods and they all failed to stand up to his activities. This one is sturdy and I doubt he can or will break it. Highly recommended.

The product is amazing! I had a problem with the screw being stripped but the company responded right away and had a new part mailed out to me the same day. I have been using it and is so amazing. It is a good size to travel with and is so great when using on uneven surfaces... I don't have to worry about it not holding either... the flexible legs makes it easy to use to tree branches, etc.

Bendable, portable, multi use tripod. I was able to mount it on tree branches and poles and the edges of benches to get some different angles with my action cam.

This product is super versatile and you can use it anywhere and everywhere. Combined with the GoPro, i had this thing mounted on handrails, window frames, doorknobs, hung upside down from beams, and simply used as a selfie stick.
The only issue I had with the first one is that I apparently torqued one of the legs too hard and cracked one of the ball-joint cups. Once that crack was in there the leg would dislocate often, making it not very usable. But I swapped it out with BestBuy no problem and the new one works great. I'm more careful now not to break it.

Great for tough angles and hanging on ceiling fan

I needed something I could hang from a ceiling fan to take 360 pics of my house room by room. The joints are very stiff but still pliable to wrap around, and the entire thing was very stable when holding my camera. I was originally going to go for the original, basic gorilla pod but this thing has a much better weight capacity than the other.
