Tripods, even the tabletop ones, are either a blessing or a curse for photographers. Although it is used very often, tripods are also clumsy to use and end up as another thing we have to carry around.
The Joby GorillaPod Micro has an ingenous feature that makes tripod use very convenient. It is designed to stay onto the camera as its three legs folds neatly together and can be flipped open when needed. This eliminates the arduous task of removing the tripod and putting it on again every single time. This small tripod also has a small ball head that allows the camera 360 degrees of rotation.
The Micro comes in two version: The Micro 250 and Micro 800. The former is recommended for small pocket cameras up to 250 grams, while the latter can support up to 800 grams. Both versions are available for pre-order, costing $19.99 and $29.99, respectively.
