Joby, makers of the Gorillapod™ introduced a new flexible, wrappable tripod called the Gorillapod Magnetic. Inspired by the overwhelmingly positive reception of the Gorillatorch hands-free flashlight, the new Gorillapod Magnetic features powerful magnets in the feet that can be anchored to any magnetic surface, in addition to being secured with its fully articulating legs. Weighing in at 2.5oz and measuring 6” long, it will support compact digital cameras and mini video cameras weighing up to 11.5oz. Look for it to hit retailers in April.
Joby also announced the Ballhead X for Gorillapod Focus, the latest addition to its Professional Line of photographic equipment. The portable yet sturdy Ballhead X supports 11.1lbs and allows the user to easily and fluidly pan, tilt, and rotate the camera while supported on virtually any surface. Look for the Ballhead X in April.
