Overview

The Joby GripTight GorillaPod Stand is a compact, flexible smartphone tripod designed for photographers and content creators who need stabilization in unconventional locations. Its signature wrappable legs can grip around poles, tree branches, railings, fences, and other irregular surfaces, offering mounting options that flat-bottomed tripods simply cannot match. Each leg segment features rubberized foot grips that maintain traction on smooth and rough surfaces alike, while the flexible ball-and-socket joints allow you to shape the legs into whatever configuration the situation demands — splayed flat on a table, wrapped around a post, or standing upright on uneven ground.

The integrated GripTight clamp secures smartphones between 69mm and 99mm wide, accommodating most standard-sized phones with or without a slim case. An adjustable locking screw provides up to 150 degrees of tilt, making it easy to switch between portrait and landscape orientation or fine-tune your framing angle. Built from ABS plastic, TPE, and stainless steel, the stand weighs just 2.4 ounces and measures 6.8 x 3.4 x 12 inches, making it one of the most packable tripod options available. The base uses a standard ¼"-20 threaded mount, so the GripTight clamp can be swapped out for other compatible accessories. Whether used for time-lapses, group photos, video calls, or hands-free recipe following in the kitchen, the GorillaPod Stand offers a reliable and creative way to position a smartphone exactly where it is needed.
