Sept 24, 2010 – PRESS SUMMARY – Joby, Inc., the world renowned designer of the Gorillapod® flexible camera tripod, is pleased to announce the arrival of a new video tripod solution at this year’s Photokina tradeshow in Cologne, Germany. Having revolutionized the still photography world with the award-winning Gorillapod line, Joby now aims to reinvent video on-the-go. The Gorillapod Video elevates the quality of moving image capture and capitalizes on the explosive use of personal camcorders and video hosting sites. Now, you can capture the action from the sideline of a soccer match, make the perfect social media video, film your portfolio or memorialize family and friends at weddings and parties on your Flip, Kodak PlaySport or other handheld video recording device.
The Gorillapod Video is designed specifically for mini-camcorders, so you can seamlessly capture video wherever you go. The omni-directional positioning video head allows for easy orientation at any angle, with seamless 360 degree pan and 135 degree tilt. Constructed of anodized aluminum, the lightweight design is engineered for durability and capture on-the-go. The Gorillapod Video’s flexible, wrappable ball-and-socket legs provide stability anywhere, and the super strong magnetic feet allow you to achieve vantage points that were previously impossible. Plus, the quick-release plate makes it easy to go from hands-free to handheld in seconds.
The Gorillapod Video is designed for most mini and pocket camcorders and point-and-shoot cameras with video capabilities. It supports up to 11.5 ounces, weighs 2.8 ounces and is 7.2 inches high, and has an MSRP of $29.95. US retailers include; amazon.com, B&H Photo and at Joby.com.
