Joby JB01502 GorillaPod 500 Compact Flexible Tripod

The JOBY GorillaPod 500 continues the line's reputation for creative flexibility in a compact form factor. Its signature articulating legs use a ball-and-socket joint design with rubberized foot grips, allowing the tripod to wrap securely around poles, tree branches, fence posts, and other surfaces where traditional tripods are useless. Standing freely on flat surfaces, it provides a stable low-profile base for tabletop shooting, time-lapses, or video calls. The 500-gram (1.1 lb) weight capacity is tailored for sub-compact cameras, point-and-shoots, 360 cameras, and action cameras, making it one of the most portable tripod options available.

Where the GorillaPod 500 truly shines is in travel and on-the-go shooting scenarios. It packs down small enough to fit in a coat pocket or the side pouch of a daypack, and its light weight means you'll actually carry it rather than leaving it behind. The standard 1/4"-20 camera mount is universally compatible with tripod-equipped devices, though smartphone users will need to add a separate mount adapter. For photographers and content creators who work with lightweight gear and want a tripod that adapts to any environment, the GorillaPod 500 offers a unique combination of portability and versatility that rigid mini-tripods simply cannot match.
