JobyGorillaPod Magnetic Mini: A Portable, Compact Tripod with Magnetic Feet for Smartphones, Action Cameras or Point & Shoot Cameras up to 325 Grams,Black

I did not even expect this, but the Mini is exceeding my expectations. First of all, it is extremely small. Yes, it is still attachable to some thin rods or branches, where it is possible to wrap around its 5cm legs. But the magnetic legs ends is a strength! It stitches my monocular to a surface like a super glue, so whatever is less than max 325 grams sits very well. Did not try full load though. The only thing is that some of joints are as stiff as all usual Joby creatures are, so this is not bad, not good, just a reality.It covers all my needs and suits very well to the tasks I wanted.

Love this lil guy! It’s great for travel and it’s so cute. I bought another joby product that screws in to hold the phone. It works great! The magnet feature is an added bonus. I love it for family shots and action shots. Finally I can be in the pics too!

Took this thing with me all over the southwest of the US. We vlogged at Las Vegas, Death Valley, Grand canyon, Monument valley, and Zion national park. Overall it performed very well on my Canon G7X Mark II. The magnets, however, are kind of a gimmick on the G7X. They are strong enough if you put it on solid metal upside down or standing up -- but you really don't find that very often. Sideways and they just can't hold this camera. They really only came in handy one time when I was able to attach it to a metal railing at an overlook and film a timelapse.At Death Valley I made the mistake of shoving it into a sand dune to prop the camera up for a timelapse at the top of one of their sand dunes. Unfortunately, the sand had magnetic properties, so it stuck to the bottom of this tri-pod and it was literally impossible to clean it all off. There is still some on the bottom of the tripod a month after the trip. The grains are so small it is difficult to grab them with anything and the magnet keeps it stuck to the feet of the tripod. It kind of took the gimmick of magnetic feet, and made them a pretty bothersome downside. I thought I'd like them, but they have been more nuisance than asset.Anyways, the tripod is solid and I am going to use it on another vlogging trip this weekend. I do recommend it. But if you're like me and think the magnets are going to be potentially life changing -- you should probably think again. It is just another Joby Tripod.

I have mine mounted with a GoPro hero 4 with the extended battery pack. I had it gripping the handle bars on a 24v ATV.Camera fell off... Was run over by the ATV. The legs popped off at the neck of the tripod. I popped it back on & just like new. Still working fine lol.

It's the perfect very small size, and nice and lightweight. However, mine broke at the neck, like other users have reported. It was just from adjusting the neck too many times I guess. Now that it's broken, it snaps off easier. I'm debating seeing if I can get a replacement one. I may just glue it and keep it. It's so small and light. In fact, before you buy, check my picture and others here, to be sure you want it this small for your purposes. AND if you DO buy it, do NOT tweak the neck if you can help it.

This thing is awesome! It is way more study than the cheap knockoff brands. The feet are even magnetic which help at the trails near my house since all the trail signposts are metal!

These are a bit pricey but worth it. I have tried other cheap mini tripods but they quickly break. This is a solid made tripod ... worth the cost!

I love the fact that this thing sticks to anything metal, especially my car! I have a 6” monitor attached to this and i can hang it sideways and upside down and it doesn’t budge at all.
