It’s great that there are vloggers and social media influencers to tell us what to think these days rather than the traditional newspapers, it means we don’t have to strain our brains trying to remember how to read, plus its great to know these 17 year olds are making more in a week than you make in a whole year. If you want to get in on the action without looking like a complete beginner with your double chins and stretched out arm in every shot the GorillaPod Mobile Rig from Joby could be just what you need.

This vlogging tripod rig has be specially designed for mobile phone video, this lightweight rig weighs just 0.36g before you have kitted it out, it is compact and portable at 8 x 12 x 33cm. It comes with a 1/4"-20 standard tripod mount, GoPro mount and Universal flash shoe and it compatible with all smartphones in the pro-grade including large screened phone as well as smaller sizes, it simply slots in and locks in place with the GripTight holder. The Mobile Rig has GorillaPod’s Patented and recognisable ball and socket design inside the rubberised legs with grips, this makes them highly flexible allowing you to stand it up like a regular tripod even on unlevel surfaces, securely hold it or wrap the legs around objects, door handle or railings for example for excellent versatility of angles. You can easily adjust tilt and landscape-to-portrait mode for vlogging, and add up to three additional devices like mics, lights and action cams. In this kit you get two GorillaPod arms, two cold shoe mounts, one GoPro mount as well as the main rig body. We found this rig versatile, light and compact, it’s a bit stiff to begin with takes a little time to loosen up but other than that it’s a good piece of gear to start your vlogging career.
