Joby JB01507 GorillaPod 3K Kit. - Review

I recently got my hands on the Joby JB01507 GorillaPod 3K Kit and boy, am I impressed! This compact tripod stand and ballhead is the perfect companion for my compact mirrorless camera and other devices weighing up to 3K (6.6lbs). Let me share my experience using the GorillaPod 3K Kit with you.

Firstly, I love how versatile and adaptable this tripod stand is. Its wrappable legs allow me to secure my camera on any surface - I can wrap it around a tree branch, a fence, or even a doorknob. The flexible legs give me the freedom to set up my camera at any angle, without having to worry about stability. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor shoots or when I need to capture low-angle shots.

Apart from being flexible, the Joby GorillaPod 3K Kit is also precise when it comes to positioning. The ballhead allows for 360 degrees panning and 90 degrees tilt, ensuring that I can capture the perfect shot, no matter the angle or position. The bubble level feature is also very helpful in ensuring that my camera is level and straight, especially when it comes to landscape photography.

What I appreciate about this GorillaPod 3K Kit is its modular design, which makes it compatible with JOBY pro-level accessories. I can easily mount additional equipment such as lights, microphones, and monitors up to 3 kg in weight. This expands the creative possibilities of my filming and photography, giving me more room to experiment with different equipment and angles.

In terms of build quality, the Joby GorillaPod 3K Kit is made of high-quality materials such as ABS plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, and TPE. These materials give the tripod stand a robust and sturdy feel, even when I'm attaching heavy equipment to it. The black and charcoal design also looks sleek and professional, making it an attractive addition to my camera gear.

One minor drawback to using this tripod stand is that it takes some time to adjust the legs to the desired position. The wrappable legs are compact and sturdy, but they require some effort to bend and shape into the correct position. This may take some getting used to, especially for those who are used to using traditional tripod stands.

Despite the minor drawback, I would highly recommend the Joby JB01507 GorillaPod 3K Kit to anyone looking for a versatile and robust tripod stand for their camera gear. Its flexibility and precision are unparalleled, whether you're shooting outdoors or indoors. And with the option to mount additional equipment, you can truly take your filming and photography to the next level.

In conclusion, my experience with the Joby GorillaPod 3K Kit has been nothing short of amazing. Its flexibility, precision, and modularity have made my filming and photography much more versatile and creative. Plus, its sturdy build quality gives me confidence in using it for any type of shoot. I would definitely give it a 4.7 out of 5 stars for its outstanding performance and value for money.
