Posted on 29 July 2009 by


Gorrilamobile

With the iPhone 3GS doing a nice job taking pictures and shooting videos accessories that make capturing inages and video are more important than ever. Joby has just announced their new Gorillamobile which just might be the most flexible (pun intended) tripod for iPhone (and other small electronics) yet. Better still, it can be useful in holding the iPhone securely during numerous tasks above and beyond capturing images.

It features four interchangeable quick‐release adapters, flexible leg joints with rubberized grips, and a secure locking mechanism so that it can be used in hundreds or thousands of different places where a straight-legged tripod would be useless. The Gorillamobile will retail for $29.99.

Joby Launches Gorillamobile, Ingenious Tripod with Widespread Mobile
Device Compatibility and Limitless Functionality

SAN FRANCISCO, CA ‐ July 29, 2009 – Joby, the world renowned designer of the Gorillapod line of
innovative camera tripods, is pleased to announce the Gorillamobile.  Representing the first product in a
new product line, the Gorillamobile promises unparalleled tripod compatibility for almost all mobile
devices.  Featuring the critically acclaimed ball‐and‐socket tripod legs that affix to and balance on any
surface, the Gorillamobile provides consumers with a universal system for mounting any portable
device.  Photo‐taking, video‐recording, talking and movie‐watching have never been easier!

The Gorillamobile is ideal for mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players, portable gaming
devices, GPS units, mini video cameras, pocket projectors and almost any other
mobile device a consumer might want to utilize in a hands‐free manner.  The
Gorillamobile pack includes a custom‐engineered suction cup mounting system, two
removable high‐bond adhesive clips and the traditional universal camera adapter to
ensure maximum compatibility.  Whether the user needs a temporary hold or
prefers something more permanent, the adapters provide the solution.

“The Gorillamobile will satisfy the overwhelming demand we’ve had to develop a portable and delightful product for the person seeking a tripod and flexible
mounting system for all his mobile devices,” said Joby COO Forrest Baringer‐
Jones. “The Gorillamobile truly creates endless possibilities and is sure to become a
‘can’t leave home without it’ product.”

The Gorillamobile weighs under 2 ounces, is just under 6‐inches tall and has a MSRP of $34.95.  The
product will ship in late summer and will be available globally.
