About this deal

Pro Tip: If in doubt, always go for the GorillaPod rated one higher than your considered max weight capacity. i.e. even if you own a lightweight Sony a6000, I’d still recommend choosing the GorillaPod 1K, just in case you ever attach a heavy lens. 2. Means of Attachment This is the macdaddy of all GorillaPods – the one Casey Neistat and all other famous YouTubers use to support their vlogging rigs. One thing to note – even if own a lightweight compact camera such as the Ricoh GRIII, I’d actually recommend you buy the aforementioned GorillaPod 500 rather than the 325, just to give me a bit of additional strength and stability when bending the GorillaPod around objects. For the sake of simplicity, I’ve ignored the Video and SmartPhone models of the GorillaPod, choosing to focus on the models most suited for stills photographers.

In general, if you own a compact camera or anything weighing less than 500g (1.1 lbs), you can opt for the GorillaPod 325 or 500. There are 2 main factors to consider when choosing a GorillaPod. 1. Maximum Weight of Object(s) to be Supported While the legs are available separately, I can’t think of a good reason why you’d want to buy a GorillaPod without the head (which included with the Kit).

We provide you also lots of accessories that may be useful to upgrade your camera content creation, such as lights, audio & others:

The 1K is also surprisingly light at only 197 g (0.43 lbs), making it ideal to have a couple stashed in your camera bag at all times – this is what I do, usually to support flashes or mini LEDs like the powerful but tiny Manfrotto LumeMuse. If you own a mirrorless camera or DSLR, or plan to attach other accessories to the GorillaPod, the 1K, 3K or 5K are most suitable.

Super compact flexible tripod stand for lightweight compact cameras, point & shoots and 360/action cameras. Removable BallHead 1K can be used with the GorillaPod 1K stand or with any other tripod with a standard 1/4"-20 mount

Which GorillaPod to buy for my DSLR, Mirrorless, or Point and Shoot?

An example set up to attach to the end of the GorillaPod 1K might be the Fujifilm X-T3 with Fujinon 23mm f/2 WR lens – basically any set up with a combined weight of under 1 kg (2.2 lbs). BallHead 1K offers full 360° panning and 90° tilting, meaning you can create more versatile content from different angles The second piece of advice is to invest in at least one GorillaPod higher in maximum weight capacity than you require. The GorillaPod 500 has been made to support high-end compact and point and shoot cameras, such as the Sony RX100 series or Canon PowerShot G series cameras – anything up to the weight of 500 g (1 lb).
