Overview

The Joby Handypod JB01555-BWW is a mini tripod and handgrip hybrid designed for content creators who need quick, stable support without the bulk of a full-size tripod. Its three legs spread open for use as a tabletop tripod, providing a steady platform for compact cameras, LED lights, microphones, or portable speakers weighing up to 2.2 pounds. When the legs fold together, they form an ergonomically shaped handgrip for comfortable handheld shooting — a feature that makes it particularly popular with vloggers and mobile filmmakers who frequently alternate between stationary and handheld shots.

A built-in ball head offers smooth angle adjustments and supports a full 90-degree tilt for portrait-orientation shooting, all controlled without tools or separate locking mechanisms. The universal 1/4-inch screw thread ensures broad compatibility with cameras, action cams, LED panels, shotgun microphones, and even Bluetooth speakers like the Bose SoundLink Revolve. While it does not include a smartphone clamp, any standard 1/4-inch phone adapter will work. The Handypod's compact size and minimal weight make it an easy addition to any camera bag, jacket pocket, or desk setup for video calls and streaming.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Dual-function design switches from tabletop tripod to comfortable handgrip by folding the legs together
Built-in ball head with 90-degree tilt provides flexible angle adjustments without needing an additional head
Extremely lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry in a bag or pocket for on-the-go shooting
Universal 1/4-inch thread mount is compatible with cameras, LED lights, microphones, and portable speakers

👎 Cons

2.2 lb weight capacity limits use to small cameras and accessories, ruling out most DSLRs with standard lenses
No quick-release plate means you must screw and unscrew the camera each time you attach or detach it
Short tripod height only works as a tabletop stand and cannot replace a full-size tripod for elevated shooting
Legs lack independent articulation, so the Handypod cannot wrap around poles or adapt to uneven surfaces like the GorillaPod

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Joby Handypod hold a DSLR camera?

It can hold cameras with a 1/4-inch thread mount up to 2.2 lbs. Lightweight DSLRs with a small lens may work, but larger DSLR and lens combinations will likely exceed the weight limit.

Does the Handypod include a ball head for angle adjustments?

Yes, it has a built-in ball head that allows you to adjust to different angles, including a 90-degree tilt for portrait-orientation shooting.

Can I use the Handypod as a handheld grip for video?

Yes, the legs fold together to form an ergonomic handgrip, making it easy to hold for vlogging, video calls, or handheld shooting without fatigue.

Is the Joby Handypod compatible with smartphones?

Not directly — it has a standard 1/4-inch screw mount, so you need a separate smartphone clamp or adapter with a 1/4-inch thread to attach a phone.
