Vodnik za kupce Joby GorillaPod
Če obstaja eno kompaktno stojalo, ki izstopa med množico drugih možnosti, ki so na voljo v letu 2022, je to skromni Joby GorillaPod.
Naveden kot 'originalni upogljivi stativ ‘, je GorillaPod ustvaril na tisoče posnemovalcev, a še vedno ostaja z glavo nad svojo konkurenco.
Zdi se, da je ustvariti poceni kopijo, ki je podobna izvirniku, morda enostavno, posnemanje njegove moči, vzdržljivosti in funkcionalnosti pa ni. Ne sprejmite ponaredkov – to je edino prilagodljivo mini stojalo, ki ga boste kdaj potrebovali.
Zasnovan tako, da se prilega lahkim pametnim telefonom, akcijskim kameram in fotoaparatom point &shoot, vse do težkih DSLR-jev in brezzrcalnih fotoaparatov, je število možnosti GorillaPod lahko nekoliko neverjetno.
Ta vodnik sem ustvaril, da vam pomaga izbrati pravo možnost za vas. Predstavil bom tudi nekaj drugih naprav, ki jih je mogoče priključiti na GorillaPods. Zataknimo se!

Kaj je GorillaPod?
Na GorillaPod lahko dejansko priključite široko paleto naprav.
GorillaPod je prilagodljiv mini stojalo z nogami z gumiranimi krogličnimi zglobi, ki je zasnovan za upogibanje in ovijanje, kar vam omogoča namestitev in podporo fotoaparata, luči ali karkoli z združljivo 1/4″ luknjo za pritrditev na stojalo na različnih mestih.
Da, tako je – ne mislite, da so GorillaPods omejeni na podporo samo kameram – jaz svojo uporabljam za namestitev bliskavice (prek hladnega čevlja), mini LED luči, kot je Manfrotto Lumamuse, ali celo velike LED plošče, kot je Manfrotto Lykos BiColor.
Skratka, Joby GorillaPod je zasnovan za uporabo na mestih, kjer tradicionalni stativ ne more stati. Dejstvo, da ga lahko spravite v žep jakne je še en velik bonus.
Kako izbrati GorillaPod
Zaradi poenostavitve sem prezrl video in pametne modele GorillaPod ter se osredotočil na modele, ki so najbolj primerni za fotografe.
(Če kliknete zgornji videoposnetek, boste prišli naravnost do izdelkov, ki sem jih ocenil tukaj.)
Predvidevam tudi, da boste potrebovali »Komplete GorillaPod«, kjer so na voljo – »Komplet« se nanaša na noge in kroglično glavo stativa .
Čeprav so noge na voljo ločeno, se ne morem spomniti dobrega razloga, zakaj bi želeli kupiti GorillaPod brez glave (ki je priložena kompletu).
Pri izbiri naprave GorillaPod morate upoštevati dva glavna dejavnika.
1. Največja teža podprtih predmetov
Glavna stvar, na katero morate paziti, ko izbirate GorillaPod, je kombinirana teža predmeta, ki ga želite nositi.
Pravim "kombinirano", saj boste pogosto morali upoštevati ohišje fotoaparata in objektiv ali celo dodatno video opremo, kot so osvetlitev, mikrofoni in monitorji.
Če uporabljate velik zoom objektiv, se prav tako splača izbrati močnejši model GorillaPod od skupne teže fotoaparata in objektiva, saj teža zoom objektivov pogosto sega stran od središča stojala.
Ko dobite skupno skupno težo, lahko vidite, kako se ujema z največjo zmogljivostjo vsakega GorillaPod.
5 glavnih izdelkov v liniji GorillaPod je poimenovanih po njihovi teži, merjeni v gramih – če merite v imperialih, je to lahko na začetku nekoliko zmedeno!
Da bi bila zmeda še večja, so bila leta 2017 spremenjena imena izdelkov GorillaPod:
GorillaPod največja nosilnost
Na splošno velja, da če imate kompaktni fotoaparat ali kar koli, kar tehta manj kot 500 g (1,1 lbs), se lahko odločite za GorillaPod 325 ali 500.
Če imate brezzrcalni fotoaparat ali DSLR ali nameravate na GorillaPod pritrditi druge dodatke, so 1K, 3K ali 5K najprimernejši.
Profesionalni nasvet: Če ste v dvomih, vedno izberite GorillaPod z oceno, ki je višja od vaše predvidene največje teže. tj. tudi če imate lahek Sony a6000, še vedno priporočam, da izberete GorillaPod 1K, za vsak primer, če boste kdaj namestili težek objektiv.
2. Sredstva za pritrditev
Druga stvar, ki jo boste morda morali upoštevati pri izbiri naprave GorillaPod, je, kako jo želite pritrditi na fotoaparat ali drugo napravo.
Na srečo je tukaj na voljo samo nekaj možnosti:
i) Popravljeno – glava GorillaPod se privije neposredno v luknjo za stojalo na dnu fotoaparata. Če želite odstraniti kamero, morate odviti celoten GorillaPod.
ii) Odstranljivo – GorillaPod ima ploščo za stojalo za hitro sprostitev, ki se pritrdi na vaš fotoaparat/napravo in omogoča hitro odstranitev z GorillaPod (podobno kot običajni stojalo za fotoaparat).
Profesionalni nasvet: Glavna prednost odstranljive osnovne plošče na GorillaPod je, ko morate hitro pritrditi ali odstraniti svojo kamero. Če tega ne potrebujete, preprosto izberite GorillaPod glede na največjo težo.
Recenzije Joby GorillaPod
Naš dveletni Leo mi pomaga preizkusiti ponudbo Joby GorillaPods…
GorillaPod je mini stojalo z nogami, ki jih je mogoče upogniti in oviti okoli različnih predmetov, kot so ulični drogovi, noge za mizo, ograjni stebri itd.
Vse naprave GorillaPod zelo dobro opravljajo to osnovno funkcijo, če svoj GorillaPod izberete glede na največjo težo, ki jo pričakujete.
Ker smo vzpostavili to funkcionalnost, je ne bom podrobneje obravnaval v vsaki od spodnjih recenzij GorillaPod.
Namesto tega se bom osredotočil na druge funkcije, ki opredeljujejo vsak model, da bi vam pomagal izbrati pravega zase.
Komplet GorillaPod 5K

Teža: 739 g (1,6 lbs)
Največja zmogljivost: 5 kg (11 lbs)
Mere: 6 x 6,5 x 30,5 cm
Material: ABS plastika, nerjaveče jeklo, TPE, aluminij
To je macdaddy vseh GorillaPods – tisti, ki ga Casey Neistat in vsi drugi znani YouTuberji uporabljajo za podporo svojih naprav za videodnevnike.
To je tudi tisti, ki ga uporabljajo številni fotografi, zlasti profesionalni.
Zakaj? No, ker je komplet GorillaPod 5K najmočnejši med vsemi , in bo najverjetneje lahko zagotovil najbolj varno in zanesljivo podporo za kakršno koli opremo z luknjo za pritrditev stativa 1/4″ na podstavku ... če je skupna teža pod 5 kg (6,6 lbs), seveda.
Medtem ko so manjše naprave GorillaPod običajno videti kot dobro zasnovane igrače, se zdi, da je komplet 5K resen kos opreme.
S težo 739 g (1,6 lbs) ima pomirjujočo težo temu. Podnožja so strojno obdelana iz aluminija, krogla (ki leži v ležišču kroglične glave) pa ima rdečo anodizirano prevleko za največjo moč in tekoče gibanje .
GorillaPod 5K ima močno švicarsko ploščo Arca Swiss s priročnim vijakom, ki ga lahko zavrtite s prstom.
Odstranljiva kroglasta glava podpira ploščo za hitro sprostitev Arca-Swiss, ki vam omogoča, da jo pritrdite na fotoaparat in jo tam hranite, kolikor dolgo želite, pripravljeno, da jo hitro pritrdite na vrh GorillaPod 5K z zateznim gumbom ob strani .
Dodaten gumb zategne in sprosti vrtenje celotne kroglične glave, z merami, označenimi ob straneh za panoramske posnetke.
Drugi gumb krmili kroglico v ležišču z izrezom za portretne posnetke.
GorillaPod 5K je model, ki bi ga priporočal vsakemu profesionalnemu fotografu ali videografu, ne glede na težo opreme, ki jo potrebujete za podporo – je najmočnejši, najvarnejši in najbolj zanesljiv stojalo lota.
Zadnji del 5K z gumijastimi zateznimi gumbi in merami po obodu kroglične glave.
Primer namestitve bi bil Canon 1DX Mark II in objektiv Canon 24-70 mm f/2,8 L – 5K zdrži težo, vendar je malo verjetno, da bi to nastavitev dolgo časa držali na dosegu roke!
Glede na to, razumem, da Peter McKinnon uporablja podobno nastavitev s širokokotno lečo in mikrofonom za svoje vloge, tako da je to mogoče storiti;-)
Širina nog kompleta GorillaPod 5K, ko je zložen, zagotavlja tudi pomirjujoče debel in oblikovan oprijem ko držite celotno nastavitev v rokah – ena od dodatnih prednosti izbire tega načina z vrhunskimi specifikacijami.
Zakaj bi morali kupiti GorillaPod 5K Kit ponuja najboljšo moč in stabilnost med vsemi GorillaPods. Vrhunsko prilagodljivo stojalo.Preverite zadnjo ceno →
Komplet GorillaPod 3K

Teža: 393 g (0,86 lbs)
Največja zmogljivost: 3 kg (6,6 lbs)
Mere: 6,5 x 6,5 x 38,5 cm
Material: ABS plastika, guma, nerjaveče jeklo, jeklo, TPE, aluminij
Naslednji je komplet GorillaPod 3K, ki lahko prenese obremenitve do 3 kg (6,6 lbs) – nekaj takega kot na primer Sony a7III plus objektiv Sony 85 mm f/1,4 G.
Po približno polovični ceni kompleta 5K je 3K priljubljena izbira tako za profesionalne kot navdušene fotografe in videografe.
(Zmedeno je, da obstaja tudi GorillaPod 3K Pro Komplet, ki vsebuje strojno obdelane aluminijaste vtičnice, kot je model 5K. Pravzaprav stane več kot komplet 5K, česar ne razumem popolnoma ...)
Zgradba GorillaPod 3K je morda videti podobna svojemu velikemu bratu ob prvem pregledu, vendar če pogledamo bližje, razkrijemo nekaj ključnih razlik – predvsem plastične vtičnice 3K v primerjavi z aluminijastimi vtičnicami 5K.
GorillaPod 3K, ki podpira video luč Lowel GL1.
Očitno mora 5K podpirati večjo težo, zato mora biti močnejši material vtičnice. Aluminium is also more durable than plastic, so one could assume it would last longer too.
On the flip side, the GorilllaPod 3K is a lot lighter , and has a neat little bubble level built in to the ball head which can aid in getting a level shot – something that can be a bit of a challenge when using GorillaPods as regular tripods on a flat surface.
The GorilllaPod 3K also features a handy quick release tripod plate, allowing you to keep the plate attached to your camera indefinitely, ready to click in place to the GorillaPod when needed.
Whereas the 5K has a twistable knob to secure the quick release plate in place, the 3K offer a simple push-clip – definitely faster to use in practice, but not as secure as a tightening knob.
This means that you need to make sure you’re careful that the clip has ‘clicked’ into place when attaching your camera onto the GorillaPod 3K – if you rush this stage, you’re in for a drop.
Lightweight quick release plate with built-in bubble level.
One big benefit of the GorilllaPod 3K over its beefier big brother is that hand-holding the entire set up will obviously be less taxing, due to the reduced weight of the tripod.
(Usage of the 3K assumes a lighter camera attached to it, so regardless of the difference in weight of the GorillaPod itself, you’re in for a lighter experience whatever the case.)
All in all, the GorilllaPod 3K is a great value for money flexible tripod if you’re sure that all you’ll ever be attaching to the end of it will be less than 3 kg (6.6 lbs).
The built in bubble level sets it apart from the other models in the range too, and proves particularly useful for table top shooting.
Why You Should Buy The GorillaPod 3K is a great value for money all-rounder. The quick-release tripod plate and bubble-level make it particularly useful.Check Latest Price →
GorillaPod 1K Kit
(GorillaPod Original)
Oglejte si več ocen

Teža: 197 g (0.43 lbs)
Max Capacity: 1 kg (2.2 lbs)
Dimensions: 2.5 x 2.5 x 25.6 cm
Material: ABS Plastic, Stainless steel, TPE, Zinc-Aluminum, Aluminium
This is the original GorillaPod that launches a thousand cheap Chinese knock-offs – I’ve bought one of the fakies in the past, and quickly regretted it!
You’ll see lookalikes on sale at markets and all over eBay, but beware – they may look similar at first glance, but the build and quality is definitely inferior. You’ll find that bending the legs repeatedly will result in the balls snapping out the sockets very quickly indeed.
As with the 3K, the GorillaPod 1K also features premium grade ABS plastic sockets which ensure longevity, fluidity in movement and security .
The 1K is also surprisingly light at only 197 g (0.43 lbs), making it ideal to have a couple stashed in your camera bag at all times – this is what I do, usually to support flashes or mini LEDs like the powerful but tiny Manfrotto LumeMuse.
An example set up to attach to the end of the GorillaPod 1K might be the Fujifilm X-T3 with Fujinon 23mm f/2 WR lens – basically any set up with a combined weight of under 1 kg (2.2 lbs).
As mentioned before, I’d err on the side of caution if you camera set up is close to the maximum capacity of the GorillaPod 1K, and pay a little more for the 3K, or even the 5K, for additional peace of mind.
One simple tightening knob secures the ball in the socket, with the entire tripod screwing into the base of your device (in this case, a Manfrotto Lykos LED Light.
That said, the GorillaPod 1K does a fine job in securing devices weighing within its max carrying capacity to thin poles, posts and anything else you can find that fits the bill.
I’ve attached a lightweight Godox flash to a GorillaPod 1K and wrapped the legs around a door handle during a bridal prep in the past – worked a treat for some quick off-camera flash!
At less than $30, the 1K is great value for money , and cheap enough so that many photographers often carry a couple, since they’re the kind of thing you frequently lose!
One thing to note is that there’s no quick-release plate to attach to the base of your camera or other device – you simply screw the entire GorillaPod head directly into the 1/4″ screw hole.
On the plus side, this makes attachment simple – there’s no initial fiddling around with base plates. However, you still need to screw the head into your chosen device, and removing it takes more time.
If you’re looking for a simple, great value for money flexible tripod that can be used in a variety of ways and still pack up small enough for your back pocket, the GorillaPod 1K is definitely for you.
Why You Should Buy The GorillaPod 1K is affordable, lightweight and strong. As long as your devices weigh under the max carry capacity, snap up a couple of these handy tripods.Check Latest Price →
GorillaPod 500

Teža: 79 g (0.17 lbs)
Max Capacity: 500 g (1.1 lbs)
Dimensions: 4 x 4 x 20.5 cm
Material: ABS Plastic, Stainless steel, TPE, Aluminium
This is a new size GorillaPod that hasn’t previously been available – a beefed up version of the 325, coming up next in the review.
The GorillaPod 500 has been made to support high-end compact and point and shoot cameras, such as the Sony RX100 series or Canon PowerShot G series cameras – anything up to the weight of 500 g (1 lb).
There’s no separate knob to tighten the ball socket in order to secure the ball head at different angles. Instead, the ball head is already in a tightened state, requiring you to simply twist it around in the socket to fix it into different positions.
There’s also a cut-away section to allow fast and easy portrait orientation positioning of your device.
There’s not much more to say about the GorillaPod 500 – it’s a simple bit of kit that allows you to stabilize or secure your compact camera in places that wouldn’t normally be possible.
At around $25, it’s affordable and excellent value for money .
Why You Should Buy The GorillaPod 500 is a super lightweight, easy to use flexible tripod at a price point to suit all budgets. Ideal for lightweight compact cameras.Check Latest Price →
GorillaPod 325

Izbira urednika
Teža: 49 g
Max Capacity: 500 g (0.11 lbs)
Dimensions: 4 x 4 x 20.5 cm
Material: ABS Plastic, Stainless steel, TPE, Aluminium
For lightweight compact cameras weighing less than 500 g (1.1 lbs), the GorillaPod 325 is the tiny little flexible tripod for you.
With all the same features of the 500, but weighing in at a featherlight 49 g (0.11 lbs), this is one tiny little gadget, small enough to have in your jeans pocket all day , ready for fast deployment.
One thing to note – even if own a lightweight compact camera such as the Ricoh GRIII, I’d actually recommend you buy the aforementioned GorillaPod 500 rather than the 325, just to give me a bit of additional strength and stability when bending the GorillaPod around objects.
However, that’s not to say that the build quality of the GorillaPod 325 isn’t great – it’s just that everything feels that much smaller . Perhaps it’s just my big hands…!
Whatever the case, at less than $15, the GorillaPod 325 is an absolute steal, and something that would make a great stocking filler for a child whose main Christmas present is a compact camera.
One seldom touted benefit of a GorillaPod, particularly one as compact as the 325, is that it provides a more substantial hand grip for shooting than using the camera alone.
For our children at least (currently 2 and 4 years old), gripping their cameras using a GorillaPod seems much easier and more fun for them.
Why You Should Buy The GorillaPod 325 is a featherlight, super affordable flexible tripod that can fit in your jeans pocket. It’s a no-brainer if your camera is light-enough.Check Latest Price →
GorillaPod Rig Upgrade
Since it’s more for the video shooters than us stills photographers, I didn’t conduct a full review of GorillaPod’s interesting ‘Rig Upgrade’.
Consisting of various arms, cold shoe mounts and GoPro mounts that jut off from the side of the original GorillaPod, you can create a complete mobile rig for lighting and recording external sound and video, all at once.
It also makes you look like some kind of half-man-half-robot cybertron from the future 🤖👍🏼

Best Joby Gorillapod | Končne besede
I hope this article has helped you in choosing the right Joby GorillaPod for your needs.
If I can leave you with 2 final pieces of advice:first, I strongly recommend against buying a fake GorillaPod… of which you’ll find many. Be sure you’re getting the genuine article by using the links on this page, or by shopping at a reputable camera shop.
The second piece of advice is to invest in at least one GorillaPod higher in maximum weight capacity than you require.
(If you’re a professional, or an amateur who really values their equipment, I’d recommend you only look at the 3K or 5K.)
This will provide a little bit of leeway in the security of your set up, while also allowing you the option to attach a heavier lens, or other accessory in the future.
With that said, it’s hard to go wrong with any of these flexible and fun tripods that can help expand your creative vision by allowing you to place cameras, lights and a myriad other decives in locaiton not normally possible.
