If you enjoy taking low-light photos, time-lapse videos, selfies, or slow-motion videos with your phone, the GorillaPod and Square Jellyfish combination can provide stability and flexibility while still being portable.
The Joby GorillaPod 1K Kit is durable and versatile for its price. Its ball-head mount allows smooth movement and its long, flexible legs can wrap around various objects like tree branches or signposts. With a length of about 10.24 inches from mount to foot, it offers extra reach for taking selfies and can wrap around thicker branches and posts. Additionally, it can support most compact cameras and some mirrorless setups with its 2.2-pound weight limit.
Unlike other options, the Square Jellyfish mount can securely hold a large smartphone in either portrait or landscape orientation without the need for a separate stand. The mount is compact and stable enough to stand on its own in both vertical and horizontal orientations. It is recommended to get the metal mount version to avoid potential wearing out of threads reported with the cheaper plastic one. The Square Jellyfish mount is paired with the GorillaPod 1K Kit for added security compared to the mount that comes with other Joby kits.
If you require both a selfie stick and a tripod, the Yoozon Selfie Stick is a cost-effective option that transforms quickly from a telescoping arm extender to a tabletop tripod. While it cannot grip objects like the GorillaPod 1K, it comes with a small Bluetooth trigger that allows you to capture shots from a distance.
