JOBY GorillaPod 500

Elevate Your Compact Camera Photography with Professional Stability

The JOBY GorillaPod 500 transforms how you capture moments with premium compact cameras. Engineered specifically for Sony RX100 series, Canon G Series, and Panasonic LX100 cameras weighing up to 500g (1.1 lbs), this flexible tripod delivers uncompromising stability in an ultra-portable design.

Stainless Steel Reinforced Ball Head Technology

Unlike basic plastic alternatives, the GorillaPod 500 features a precision-engineered stainless steel ball head with 90-degree tilt capability. This professional-grade construction ensures your Sony RX100 VII or Canon PowerShot G7X remains securely positioned for both landscape and portrait photography.

Revolutionary Flexible Leg System

The patented flexible leg design allows you to wrap around railings, tree branches, and uneven surfaces where traditional tripods fail. Each joint features rubberized grips for enhanced stability on glossy surfaces, making it perfect for travel photography and urban shooting scenarios.

Compact Travel-Ready Design

Measuring just 4 x 4 x 20.5 cm when folded and weighing only 79g, the GorillaPod 500 fits easily in jacket pockets or camera bags. The ABS plastic construction with aluminum and TPE materials provides exceptional durability while maintaining ultra-lightweight portability.

A: Yes, the GorillaPod 500's 500g load capacity easily supports the Sony RX100 VII (302g body weight) with additional accessories like external microphones or filters. The stainless steel ball head provides secure mounting for extended shooting sessions, and the 90-degree tilt capability enables perfect framing for both photography and video content creation.

Q2: What warranty and shipping options do you offer?
A: The JOBY GorillaPod 500 includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. We provide free shipping across India for orders above ₹2,000, with same-day dispatch for orders placed before 3 PM. International shipping is available with tracking, typically delivered within 10-15 business days.

Q3: How does the GorillaPod 500 compare to the Manfrotto PIXI Mini?
A: The GorillaPod 500 offers flexible leg positioning that the fixed-leg PIXI cannot match, allowing you to wrap around objects and adapt to irregular surfaces. While both support similar weight capacities, the GorillaPod's 79g weight is lighter than the PIXI's 190g, making it more travel-friendly. The stainless steel ball head provides superior durability compared to standard aluminum construction.

Q4: How do I maintain the flexible legs and ball head?
A: Clean the rubberized leg grips regularly with a damp cloth to maintain optimal surface grip. For the stainless steel ball head, use a dry microfiber cloth to prevent fingerprints and maintain smooth rotation. Avoid exposing the tripod to extreme temperatures below -10°C or above 60°C. Store in the original packaging to protect joints from dust accumulation and extend product lifespan.

Q5: Why choose JOBY over other compact tripod brands?
A: JOBY pioneered the flexible tripod design with over 100 plastic compounds tested for optimal durability and feel. The patented leg mechanism offers superior grip and positioning compared to generic alternatives. Unlike basic mini tripods, the GorillaPod 500's wrap-around capability enables creative angles impossible with traditional fixed-leg designs. The stainless steel reinforced ball head provides professional-grade stability typically found in much larger tripods.
