New GorillaPod Design Continues to Revolutionize Modern Photography
Petaluma, Calif. (PRWEB) September 05, 2017 -- JOBY today announced a redesigned GorillaPodTM product line to meet the needs of modern photographers, vloggers and videographers. The modern GorillaPod family of products takes innovation to the next level by anticipating the needs of a new, growing generation of content creators, enabling them to “get a grip” on their subjects, capturing images or video how they want, when they want, with ease. The new family of products will be available for purchase in early October.
In 2006, JOBY changed photography forever by introducing the GorillaPod, bringing flexible tripods for the first time to an innovative generation of photographers. With GorillaPod, tripods could be used on varied terrain, wrapped around tree branches, or positioned on rocky outcroppings, removing limits from photography. With more than 6 million units sold, the GorillaPod is the most recognizable tripod on the market. The newly redesigned line once again breaks existing photography barriers by adding state-of-the-art features including a stainless steel reinforced ballhead with 90° tilt, to perfectly shoot portrait or landscape mode for FaceTime, livestreaming and selfies.
"Photography today is changing faster than ever, and photographers are demanding more versatile solutions for their on-the-go lifestyles,” said Tim Grimmer, Vice President of Brand and Product for DayMen, JOBY’s holding company. “Smartphones and social media are making everyone into photographers. More than 80 million photos are uploaded per day on Instagram, and these new content creators are looking to tools like our next generation GorillaPods to deliver the shots that make them stand out from the crowd.”
