Joby GP1 D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod Grey
The Joby Gorillapod makes taking digital photos more fun than ever. Designed with self-timer photography in mind, the Gorillapod lets you mount your camera just about anywhere you want so that you can include everyone in your automatic shots. All you need to do is use the universal 1/4-20 screw to attach your camera to the standard tripod mount, then wrap the three flexible segmented legs securely to a nearby tree branch, fence, park bench, or anything else that’s convenient.

Say goodbye to holding your camera at arm’s length to take a photo of yourself and your friends–now you can be free to pose however you like!
Durable and innovative, the Gorillapod weighs just 1.6 ounces, or 45 grams, and can support cameras weighing up to 12.5 ounces, or 335 grams. Measuring just under six inches in length, the Gorillapod fits easily into any purse, backpack, or even jacket pocket.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Canon PowerShot A1100IS
5 seconds to install. Works perfectly. Turns every surface into a tripod. Small enough to put in my (7″ tall LowePro) camera bag, along with the camera. Blocks the battery door, so I put a tiny screwdrive into my camera bag, too, for quick changes.
Now I have everything.
4 Stars Get away without having a tripod!
This is a great item to have in places where you can’t bring a full size Tripod with you. I’ve used it in old buildings to get cool architecture shots….You can wrap the ‘Pod’ around a banister and take an interesting angle! you can hang it in a tree for dramatic effect! It can save the day when you forget the big tripod but keep this in the car!
Love it. Just needs a ball head so it could swivel. I still have it in the backpack.
My daugher turned me on to the small ones for my point and shoot camera’s and they’re absolutely necessary in my opinion! Especially if you don’t have the steadiest hand. These are great to take the doubt out of your shot! Need a long exposure…set the timer and go! Set it on the sidewalk and take long exposures of cars driving by…..
Be inspired!
5 Stars Wanted it for a long time
I have wanted a Joby Gorillapod for a long time. When I saw the price on this one I jumped for it. It works GREAT.
3 Stars Clever design, disappointing implementation
I bought the Gorillapod Flexible Tripod before Christmas 2009. It came to me with one of the legs detached from the body. Not wanting to give up on the tripod I used SuperGlue to reattach the leg. Less than a month later the ring that locks the camera/tripod removal mechanism has broken. The construction seems shoddy, at least on the one that I have. That said, the tripod is very clever and extremely useful. I have a small Canon point-and-shoot camera (SD850IS) that is well supported by the tripod and has been used a number of times in situations where a conventional tripod would have been awkward if not impossible. I admire the concept – but have to “ding” the rating for the obviously poor construction.
5 Stars Its cool like a toy
Nothing bad to say about this little tool for my digital camera. It works and it does what its supposed to. Great deal for the product you get.
