Posted on 29 July 2009, at 9:04 pm, by Dan Cohen
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.
