joby-micro

The Joby GorillaPod Micro takes the weak link out of using a tripod: You and me. Tripods, even tabletop modes, are infinitely useful but they’re also clumsy and often just something else to carry.

The Joby Gorillabike

While we wouldn’t recommend hopping on this bike without lots of padding, this cute creation was made to decorate Joby’s PMA booth. It’s made of the same stuff used to make Joby’s Gorilla gear. The beads, obviously, will fold over and bend into odd positions, wich makes riding this bike that much harder. → Read More

Joby Professional Ball Head: Not what you think

One of the biggest complaints, however, was the inability to pan and tilt your camera while attached to the Gorillapods.
