MJ Approved: Joby GorillaPod Micro
Any photographer will tell you that the more you use a tripod, the better your shots will look. Problem is, nobody in his right mind wants to lug one around all of the time. Enter the Joby GorillaPod Micro, a collapsible tripod that screws into the bottom of your camera and is tiny enough to remain attached at all times if you want it to. An aluminum positioning ball allows the camera to pivot up to 36-degrees in any direction, letting you turn any location into an impromptu photo studio. The 250 model is designed for point-and-shoots; the 800 for dSLRs and heavier cameras.
LOVE IT: The Micro’s zinc legs and their rubber foot pads take a steady hold on all types of terrain. The compact stand sits flush a point-and-shoot, so you barely notice that it’s attached — even in a pocket.
LEAVE IT: Folding its legs out can loosen the tiny camera stand, forcing you to screw it in frequently. A minor qualm, as this is the best bang-for-your-buck photo gadget we’ve seen this year.
[$20 (Micro 250) and $30 (Micro 800); joby.com]
