I generally agree with most the “clever” idioms out there but not always. For example “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”, we wouldn’t see improved versions of the gadgets and other things if all of us were to believe in it.

I am certainly glad that the guys @ Joby who introduced tripods like Gorillapod, Gorillamobile and Gorillatorch did not believe in it and fixed something that was not broken and made it better.

Joby first introduced GorillaPod in the early 2006 breaking into the traditional tripod market. It has since come a long way and now offers several versions which serve different purpose.

Gorillapod series is typically made to hold cameras. You can mount any camera weighing up to 5KG’s and maybe just a little more. GorillaPod sells between $21 and $99, depending upon the model.

The ones I find most interesting are Gorillamobile for iPhone and the Gorillatorch. Gorillamobile is made for iPhone and other mobile devices. The gadget is designed to hold up to 325g and comes along with a case for iPhone and other attachments depending upon the order.

GorillaTorch is one of my favorite it almost looks like a one eyed creature from another world. Like any other Joby product GorillaTorch comes with wrappable legs and magnetic feet, that’s the best part.

Just look at the pictures to see how the flexible design adapts to various situations.
