Fruitful, adventuresome, warm, yet powerful, are just some of the adjectives used Joby to describe its new orange-coloured Gorillapod released at CES this week.The original Gorillapod is claimed to be the lightest and most versatile camera tripod available today. Featuring over two dozen flexible leg joints that bend and rotate, it will firmly secure compact digital cameras to virtually any surface – anywhere and everywhere!
While the Gorillapod serves all the functions of a traditional camera tripod, it is the only tripod flexible enough to help you capture the perfect shot while hugging a tree branch, clinging to the top of a chair back or perching on a jagged rock, says Joby.
A close cousin, the Gorillapod Go-Go!, comes with additional clips to attach cell phones, PDAs and music/video players for mobile entertainment on the go. Medium-sized members of the family are the Gorillapod SLR for cameras up to 800g and the SLR-Zoom for cameras up to 3kg. The strongest size is the Gorillapod Focus, which supports up to 5kg of camera gear.
