Tripod JOBY GorillaPod 500 for action cameras, 3 legs, max load 0.5 kg, Black/Grey

JOBY GorillaPod 500 for action cameras is a compact, flexible tabletop tripod with three articulated legs designed to support action cameras and small compact cameras weighing up to 0.5 kg. The tripod combines a lightweight construction with bendable leg segments that allow stable placement on uneven surfaces and secure wrapping around poles, branches or other objects. Finished in black and grey, this GorillaPod model is intended for handheld shooting, timelapse capture and quick on-the-go mounting where a conventional tripod is impractical.

Advantages

The three-leg construction and multi-segmented joints offer adaptable positioning and vibration reduction on irregular terrain. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in camera bags or pockets, while the 0.5 kg load capacity accommodates many action cameras and small point-and-shoot cameras. The flexible legs provide versatile mounting options — from flat surfaces to wrapped attachments — without complex setup or additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Action camera mounting for handheld or fixed setups
• Timelapse photography in outdoor and indoor environments
• On-the-go shooting where space is limited or surfaces are uneven
• Attaching to poles, branches or railings for alternate viewpoints

Key specifications

• Number of legs: 3
• Purpose: Action camera and small compact cameras

How to use

Mount your action camera onto the tripod’s standard camera screw or compatible mounting adapter, then position the GorillaPod on a stable surface or wrap its legs around a suitable support such as a pole or branch. Adjust each articulated leg segment to achieve the desired angle and level the camera. For timelapse or long exposures, ensure the tripod is steady and the camera is secured to avoid movement. When finished, fold the legs together for compact storage and transport.

Recommendations

Use the GorillaPod 500 on surfaces and supports that can safely bear the combined weight of the tripod and your camera (maximum 0.5 kg). For wrapped mounts, confirm the grip is secure and the camera balance is stable before recording. Avoid exposing the tripod to conditions that could degrade joints, such as prolonged immersion in salt water or extreme debris accumulation; clean and dry the legs after exposure to harsh environments.
