Having received a GoPro as a gift, I noticed GoPro had quite a lack of good versatile mounts on offer, and the ones they did offer were ridiculously overpriced. I needed something that could handle all of the locations and environments and locations I would be filming it, and this looked like a good choice.The Joby GorillaPod Action Tripod is a great accessory for anyone using Gorpros in fixed locations without having the bulk of a tripod to weigh you down on your travels. the Gorilla pod also has the versatility to cling on to objects that would normally hinder setting up a normal tripod.Door handle? railing? Branch? Uneven surface? No problem, the Joby GorillaPod Action Tripod will conquer these with ease.Another great feature on the tripod is the spirit level, ensuring that no matter how uneven the surface is, you can be confident that your footage will be straight so no need for re-shoots!Another perk to this tripod is that it doesn't just fit GoPro cameras, the tripod actually has a standard threaded tripod mount so any camera with the standard mounting thread can be used, the gopro part of the tripod is a gopro mount with a threaded mounting attachment underneath. This is the compact version of the GorillaPod though, so keep in mind it will probably only be able to hold smaller digital cameras without moving. For bigger cameras and DSLRs go for a larger version.I found the gorillapod can also double as a good handle for filming, I straightened out the legs of the tripod and was able to use this as a good point and shoot handle with the GoPro, a testament to the versatility to the tripod!The Gorilla pod arrived well packaged, in an outer cardboard box as well as it's own product packaging, the item was well protected and arrived in perfect condition. Definitely recommend this for adventure enthusiasts!

Having purchased a GoPro Hero 3+ Silver - I was looking at mounting options that would give me the maximum amount of possibilities. Did I need a tripod? Monopod? A clamp? Well - the GOOD NEWS is that the JOBY GorillaPod Action Tripod (with FREE GoPro Tripod Mount) is ALL OF THE ABOVE........and is a very well built / solid piece of kit.The Joby GorillaPod Action *INCLUDES* their own version of the GoPro TRIPOD MOUNT (So you don't need to buy one of those seperately from the GoPro store).Using the 3-Way Pivot Arm (Mounting Hardware) supplied with the GoPro - *in conjunction* with the included (JOBY version of the GoPro Tripod Mount) - you have a very flexible (no pun intended) setup.In fact - this will probably be your go-to mounting option for your GoPro in many situations.I love that you can refine your camera shot using the 360 degree ballhead feature, and the bubble level.(without having to unravel the GorillaPods' legs from whatever you happen to have fastened it to!). - and by using the 3-Way Pivot Arm (in your GoPro box) - you get extra control of how exactly you want to position your camera!).If you have a HERO with WiFi - and using the GoPro Application on your Android tablet PC (I have a Nexus 7) - you can line up your shot perfectly BEFORE you record anything. When you are ready to "rock'n'roll" - you can start recording straight from the GoPro App.

This tripod is perhaps the best quality action tripod you can buy. I have handled various cheap variations, and this one does exactly as it promises.Camera Used: GoPro Hero 4 SilverMy primary needs:1) Time Lapse PhotographyThe tripod was mounted in various outdoor locations, around trees, garden furniture and so forth. The tripod grips around tree branches well and has the amazing ability to allow final tightening and adjustment. On reviewing the footage there was no movement at all. I did however choose quite sturdy branches and furniture. 5 Stars.2) Vehicle MountingIn this instance I mounted the Joby firstly on the grille of the car bonnet for a FPV of a driving journey. The results were great,though my diesel truck does wobble a bit when revving. This isn't the fault of the mount though. It gripped tight. 5 Stars.Second use was wrapped around the side mirror. This gave a much steadier shot, but I wasn't so keen on the field of view. Again, the tripod did it job well. 5 Stars.This tripod has pride of place in my growing GoPro accessory kit box.All in all I do give this an honest 5 Stars.

I used this for a solid month of holding it in my hand/mounting it to things for 90% of my awake day with a GoPro attached while i travelled around Europe. Absolutely love it and i'm not sure how i would have coped without. The legs are sturdy, grip to things well and bend how i want it to. The ball joint is super useful for getting the right angle while you're mounted to a tree or pole or in tripod mode or even in your hand. The quick release clip meant i could take off my GoPro and attach my DSLR for long exposure shots, without having to screw in anything (though i don't recommend this for heavy cameras as the legs don't handle it as well,they have a different version for DSLRs).Unfortunately after a month of use one leg started to pop out every now and then when putting too much pressure on (first happened while wrapping it around a tree), but they gave me a replacement so i'm happy.

Absolutely love my GorillaPod, it works on many of my cameras including my DSLR, it is much more suited to an action camera or small digital camera as it can give a little when my DSLR is mounted, but I needed something that was carry friendly and easy to travel with.I wouldn't trust it to hold my DSLR on a high ledge but would work fantastic for action cameras brilliantly.If I don't use it for a while the legs can get a little stiff but after some use they ease up.This is a great price and the GorillaPod has excellent quality, it can't be compared to other cheaper non-brand versions.I'd recommend this to anyone who uses action cameras or needs a travel-friendly sized pod,it's easy to set up on a table or floor and will beatable enough for a DSLR in this manner.I also use it for extra stability when taking shots with my DSLR, I carry it attached to the camera, it's not heavy.

I got this to replace my previous GorillaPod which had developed micro cracks in some of the joints allowing the connecting balls to pop out when being secured. This one seems a little more "rubbery" and feels like it should grasp shiny surfaces better.Unlike the previous model this one doesn't have a locking mechanism for the quick release plate, just a button on the back which, for an item described as "action" could get knocked (though it would need to be a hard knock) and cause the plate and camera to come loose. Also the plate isn't a neat fit in the holder causing a little bit of wobble. However, for fast moving action this won't be a problem!

Very sturdy and strong (easily holds my fujifilm x10 as well as a go pro) but also very lightweight so not a problem if travellingEasy to manoeuvre the legs into different positionsThe mini spirit level is a useful feature if you dont have the gopro with an lcd screenIt also has a standard tripod adaptor not just the go pro mount so can be used with any normal camera, as well as for attaching a gopro on an extension pole.Just received it so I haven't used this out travelling yet - this review is based on using the tripod around the house

I used this product for the first time today. It fits my gopro perfectly and you can attach it pretty much anywhere. The spirit level is an extremely handy feature, especially when you have it hanging off a branch like i did today. It seems very robust so will handle the usual knocks you get when venturing out in to the outdoors. This will also be suitable for indoor use just sitting on a shelf. It can also be used as an extension handle so very handy when walking around. I'll be ordering a few more of these!!

Having purchased a number of similar but cheaper tripods over the years I now realise how much better a Joby GorillaPod Action Tripod is. The ball joints have better articulation and the rubber material around the circumfrence of each ball grips well. I bought it for my GoPro as the unit came with the correct mount and I'm not disappointed at all. Take the GoPro mount off and the tripod can be used to mount a compact camera or other small device. I can't find fault with it - nothing but positives.

Bought this to replace a cheaper "copy" that I thought would be up to the same standard as this. I was wrong! The GorillaPod is by far superior in every way. The quality of build and robustness of the product is second to none. To the degree that I even wrapped the thing around my bike's frame and took the camera for a spin off road with no issues!!! Don't be fooled into buying cheaper versions of this, spend the extra money and get the GorillaPod, it is more than worth the money.

Really love this product. I was able to wrap the legs around the branch of a tree and my go pro shot a time-lapse of the sunset. I am amazed at how much you can twist and warp the legs and they are still perfect. I have no used it with any other camera other than the go pro but I am sure it would be fine within reason with a DSLR. Really good build quality and excellent customer service. It also features a handy spirit level and a nice solid feeling button release for the mount.

Perfect! Worth every penny over the cheaper alternatives! It feels very robust and well made and it grips well to everything.I'm not sure if it's an intended feature or not but I can even get some impressively smooth panning shots!!A little too bulky for a small or medium go pro bag but that's more of a problem with the bags as they could not have made this any more compact without hindering performance. A worthy addition to my growing collection of mounts!!!

I'm a fan of the Joby products, I've got both the small and large GorillaPod's.The larger one is more heavy duty and can easily be wrapped around tree branches and poles once in the right position - and it's a good tripod as well.My only concern is that after only a few months use one of the legs has become very loose which can be a challenge when setting up certain positions. The spirit level is a nice touch too, although I've not use it that often.

Robust, Solid hold, and incredibly useful.This thing can hang off anything with a go pro on it and never fall.My friend bought a cheap alternative when we wee in Thailand recently. The leg fell off his and it could barely hold the camera without the whole tripod falling off whatever he attached it to. His came in one of those cheap go pro accessory bundles.This however, just didn't fail at any point. Incredible and worth the extra money.

Finally something AMAZING.Been looking since ages for a good, small tripod mount for my GoPro, and I'm really happy that I've found this, I can even use it with my DSLR. It's looooooooot better than the ones I had before :)Really stable, I can mount it anywhere I want, attachments are pretty good, it's just a big thumbs up. Recommending it for everyone/anyone.It's worth its moneyThank you very much :)
