The Joby GorillaPod 500 Action is a compact, lightweight tripod designed specifically for action cameras. With three flexible legs and a maximum load capacity of 0.5 kg (500 g / 1 lb), it supports devices such as GoPro Hero models and similar action cameras. The tripod weighs approximately 83 g and features a black finish for a discreet, practical appearance.

Advantages

Its low weight and small size make it easy to carry during travel or outdoor activities, while the 0.5 kg load limit covers most compact action cameras. The tripod’s build provides a stable base for handheld shots, time-lapses and mounted POV footage.
