The first thing we think of when people start talking about tripods isn’t the three-legged, fixed-position piece of hardware that our Dad used to shoot with a film camera, it’s a Joby Gorillapod. The product is just too damn flexible to be messing around with a full tripod in most circumstances. It packs easily in a bag. You can adjust it to your needs. It’s relatively inexpensive. It’s available with levels, quick-releases and now, a whole new set of options like action clamps, locking arms and GoPro mounts. The Action Series works like this. The Action Tripod is closest to the GorillaPod you’re familiar with: three adjustable arms, an integrated ballhead with bubble-level and switchable camera mounts. The Action Clamp and Locking Arm is basically a C clamp with a locking, adjustable camera arm. The Action Clamp and GorillaPod Arm is the same C clamp, but with a bendy arm like you’re used to. All three take action videos, especially GoPro, to a whole new level.
