hey everyone welcome to ricky's tech talk in today's video i'll be taking a look at the joby
griptight griller pod which has magsafe this bit of kit will definitely be going in my tech bag
for sure and let's explain why so on the front it shows the product and the different ways it
can be used it has a hybrid magnetic phone mount which is magsafe technology and then also you
get a traditional tripod grip so just pulling the tab out just to note here there will be a
bit of tape you'll need to cut which i did off screen and then lifting the flap that's inside
you'll get to pull out then the packaging and then you get to see what we get inside and then just to
let you know there's a bit of paperwork as well very deep inside the box let's just grab that out
and then we'll take a look at what we've actually got so moving everything to a side here's a quick
look at the booklet that will come with your joby gorillapod so it just explains how to use
it how to add the extended arms how flexible it is and just then how to use the clamp and the
rotation options and then also how to mount if you want to use it like that so that's the paperwork
first of all we're going to get the grip tight mount out of the box and as you can see here
very solidly made three different options for adding different arms or locking into place
actually rotates in 12 different positions or 360 degrees all the way around and it uses a
twist jaw mechanism to then use the clamp if you want to this opens quite widely as well so
you can fit quite a large device in there i'm going to say a samsung galaxy note quite easily
so let's sit that down to the side then also you have the gorillapod itself this is the 1k
model gorillapod it's flexible with three legs that can be stretched twist and manipulated in
any position either be used handheld or it can even be used wrapped around a post
so taking the grip tight mount what you do is just screw this on with the quarter inch screw
and you can choose one of three positions so you can choose which way you want it so you just twist
that on making sure that's nice and secure and tight just twisting the legs and making
it secure you can then place down on the desk and that gives me the chance now to share even
more details about this gorilla pod that uses magsafe technology so it has a quick mounting
for your iphone so you can place your iphone on easily and then position it wherever you want to
so it uses the magsafe technology which was first introduced in the iphone 12 series and will also
work with the iphone 13 series so i currently use the iphone 13 pro max and iphone 13 pro
and they neatly fit on either with the clamp system or the magsafe technology which becomes
really helpful and really easy to use i don't have to worry about the clamp or you can just use the
clamps to add extra security so when you do want to use the clamp giving more security and more
protection what you use is the twist jaws here and what they do is they open up and can open quite
wide so you can fit any large device in there i'm going to say quite a large device is going to fit
in there because you can really pull them out and you can choose either to use the clamp system or
the magsafe technology so the tripod mount has 12 different positions it can actually switch
into but because your camera lens is turning with this at all time you do have a 360 degree sort of
orientation and rotation option to choose from which i think is really impressive to
see so you can have it horizontal or vertical so horizontal for creating youtube content
vertical for tick tock or instagram stories so make sure to go and follow all of our social
media handles there are linked in the video description so with gorillapod you know you
can add accessories they sell accessories sold separately so they have microphones you could have
an extra camera extra mounts for other devices such as a gopro or you can add some light and
light up your seam so you can add two different options here has two separate quarter inch screws
that you can twist something into and then make it secure or you could mount the grip
in a different way if you wanted to so you could add two different arms if you want to to actually
make your rig really good and you can improve your rig setup and i'm thinking of doing that actually
using this as my on the go rig for when i go to events and show new products and talk about
new devices that are coming out so we do have the gorillapod stand which i want to just talk about
so this actually itself is strong it is sturdy it can be mounted in different ways and it's
very strong to hold in your hand it does have a lot of flexibility so you do twist and turn
it's very solid it's very rugged built and it is made to last i do have one of these from
early years actually and it's just a lot of fun actually you find this as a fidget spinner or
fidget sort of play toy as such so you can twist turn it position it in any way you want to you can
wrap it round objects if you want to as well and get that position that you may have never thought
about getting before so it's only 200 grams so it doesn't weigh that much at all black and gray
in color mainly black it's made up of multiple different materials so we've got abs plastic
we've got rare earth magnet silicon and tpe and you have that magnetic design with the magsafe
technology price and availability in the video description there will be a link to joby websites
where at the time of filming this cost 62.95 that includes a tripod and also the new magsafe grip
that you can use on top which you can then extend and use multiple different arms you can add some
light or add some microphones so i will leave the link in the video description there will also be
a link to amazon uk so it's time to go away and do some filming now with this gorillapod which
with magsafe really does help i can just stick my phone on there and away i go so make sure to
