Joby Unveils New Gorrillapods at PMA

 Joby, Inc. introduced  two new additions to the Gorillapod family of products at this year’s Photo Marketing Association International tradeshow.

Joby  introduced the Gorillapod Magnetic flexible tripod.  The world’s most versatile tripod is now even more adaptable with the addition of powerful magnets in the feet, the Gorillapod Magnetic can now be anchored to any magnetic surface, in addition to being secured with its fully-articulating legs.  Stick it to a pole, wrap it around a tree-branch, or perch it on a jagged rock - the positioning possibilities are truly endless.

The Gorillapod Magnetic supports compact digital cameras and mini video cameras weighing up to 11.5oz, weighs just 2.5 ounces, is 6-inches tall, and will be available globally 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 (5kg) and allows the user to easily and fluidly pan, tilt, and rotate his camera while still enjoying the versatility and reliable support of a Gorillapod on virtually any surface. Built with the serious photographer in mind, the Ballhead X is lightweight and compact, yet still robust enough to support professional SLR cameras with substantial zoom lenses and sizable camera rigs. 

 While it is optimized for use with the Gorillapod Focus, the Ballhead X can accommodate both 3/8” and ¼” threads, allowing convenient compatibility with any tripod.  The Ballhead X will be available both separately and bundled together with the Gorillapod Focus.

The Ballhead X for Gorillapod Focus is constructed from precision-machined anodized aluminum, weighs just over 9 ounces, is 3.3-inches tall, and will be available globally in April.
