Joby GorillaPod 3K flexible tripod kit
The Joby GorillaPod 3K kit combines a flexible mini-tripod with the BallHead 3K for devices weighing less than 6.6 lbs. It supports compact DSLR or mirrorless cameras, flashes and video lights. Wrappable legs secure equipment to virtually any surface. Three modes cover grip, wrap and stand configurations for vlogging or live streaming.
Thermals noise and power draw
This passive mechanical support has no electronics, so it produces no heat, no fan noise and draws no power. Japanese medical grade ABS plastic and German TPE joints stay firm during extended sessions. Rubberized grip rings and foot grips add stability on difficult terrain without any active cooling or energy consumption required.
Upgrade from basic phone clamps
The kit replaces simple phone clamps or fixed mini-tripods that cannot wrap around poles or handle heavier loads. The 360 degree panning bed and 90 degree tilt give precise positioning for video work. Buyers who need support for gear above 6.6 lbs or require a full-size tripod height should look at larger systems instead.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the BallHead 3K to the flexible legs so the pan joint stays tight?
Screw the BallHead 3K onto the 1/4"-20 thread at the top of the GorillaPod 3K stand until the separate pan joint locks firmly; the joint is often left slightly loose on first assembly.
Which parts of the GorillaPod 3K kit wear out first and need replacing?
The German TPE joints and rubberized foot grips degrade with heavy wrapping; they can be swapped individually without replacing the whole stand.
At what tilt angle does the BallHead 3K stop holding a 3 kg camera steady?
The BallHead 3K provides 90° tilt; beyond that the camera will not stay locked in position.
