Attention mobile storytellers: Joby has a new mount for you. The just-announced Griptight Pro 2 GorillaPod Mount is compatible with all smartphones and is ideal for on-the-go mobile shooting. Users can take their vlogging entries and Instagram stories up a notch with an adaptable, flexible stand and two separate GorillaPod mount pods added to accommodate whichever rig the user wants to fashion.

GripTight PRO 2 GorillaPod:

  • GorillaPod 1K stand
  • Three flexible GorillaPod legs capable of standing, wrapping, or being gripped
  • GripTight Pro 2 mount
  • Removable ColdShoe Pro mount for microphone or lighting mounts
  • 2 GorillaPod mount points for ¼”-20 compatible accessories
  • Portrait and landscape options available and adjustable tilt angles
  • Made of durable ABS plastic, stainless steel, anodize aluminum, and includes TPE grip pads
  • Comes in black/charcoal

One stand-out feature is the GorillaPod 1K Stand, which has three maneuverable legs that allow the smartphone mount to be held, stood up, or even wrapped on edges and poles for a stable shot. The legs, which are unique and have come to be known and recognized among the mobile photography community, do make shooting in tricky scenarios easier.

The functionality of the GripTight Pro 2 is further improved with both portrait and landscape positioning. Whether you’re shooting portrait for a quick Instagram Story or IGTV, or landscape for  1080p cinema, Joby has got you covered. Offering more control over the shot, an adjustable angle is also attached right above the arm mount.

The GripTight Pro 2 GorillaPod includes two mount points for ¼”-20 accessories; one of which can be used for a cold shoe. You can place the cold shoe on top for attaching a microphone or light, depending on what the setting calls for. The additional mounts give the user the freedom to create the rig they desire for the shot.

The Griptight Pro 2 GorillaPod is available in black/charcoal and comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty. It will be available for preorder for on Adorama.com.

If the Griptight isn’t for you, Joby is also releasing the Telepod PRO, Telepod 325, and Telepod Mobile. The Telepod 325 is the compact version of the Telepod PRO, while the Telepod Mobile is for any smartphone. All three Telepods are made with glass-filled composite making them durable, lightweight, and slim. All three can function as a selfie stick, monopod, elevated stand, or tripod.

The Telepod PRO has the Removable Ballhead 1K, which allows for 360-degree panning and a 90-degree tilt for both portrait and landscape shots. The legs of the mount are able to lock into three sturdy positions providing a more stable base for heavier cameras on uneven surfaces. The Telepod PRO is compatible with Griptight PRO mounts, GoPro mounts, microphones and lights. 

The TelePod Pro is available for preorder for  on Adorama.com
