Joby Gorillapod Focus Tripod With Ballhead X Review

Filed under: Gadgets

The problem with reviewing a tripod for your camera, is that you can't actually take a picture of it with your good camera, if it is seen mounted with your good camera. I realized this dilemma late in the game, so you'll have to take my work for it when I say the Gorillapod can hold a heavy dSLR camera properly. This is actually two products you see before you. The Joby Gorillapod Focus Tripod meant for dSLR (or any camera or camcorder), and then the add-on Joby Ballhead X adjustable mount specially made for the Gorillapod Focus. These are professional-grade, highly flexible (literally) tools for mounting and stabilizing a camera or similar equipment with the same universal mount. Joby got famous from the original Gorillapod. It was a simple tirpod with Dr. Octopus style tentacle feet that could bend and wrap around things. Making it quite literally, the most flexible-bendable, go anywhere tripod ever.

Focus Cocktail Tables

These Focus Cocktail Tables are a great way to add something a little more interesting to a subdued, contemporary room. The tables have espresso-colored veneer edges, frosted glass tops and chromed bases, so they have the right look to go with almost any modern furniture set, but they also have off-set, angled legs, which adds an element of fun and surprise to a genre that is typically full of right angles. The tables are all 20" in diameter, come in three heights (14", 17" and 20") and are sold individually. They look great when placed individually or grouped together to form a coffee table. Price: $298 each.
