June 24, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Vanguard TBH-100-1

The Vanguard TBH-100 is a recent ball head from the TBH Series of Vanguard’s line-up. As with most Vanguard products that I have used, it is a rugged and heavy duty piece of gear. [Read more…]

Gorillapod Focus and Ballhead X Review: Bring Out the Big Guns

June 6, 2010 By Eric Reagan

A little while back, I put a Canon 5D Mark II and a 70-200mm lens on a tiny little Gorillapod Magnetic – and it held the combo upside down using only magnets for grip.  That was a little extreme for that little tripod though.

While Joby didn’t necessarily approve of that use (nor when I stuck my camera to a car), they must have felt sorry for me and my 5D Mark II because they sent me a heavy-duty Gorillapod Focus and Ballhead X to play with . . . and abuse a bit. [Read more…]

Joby Gorillabike (and Some Useful Photo Stuff)

March 14, 2010 By Eric Reagan

Perhaps one of the funniest things I saw at PMA 2010, was Joby’s homegrown bike, which looks like it resulted from Lance Armstrong crashing into the Gorillapod factory.  While Gorillapods are pretty sturdy for cameras, I don’t think we’ll see Lance pedaling this bike up the Col du Tourmalet in the Tour de France this year.  Nonetheless, this is one cool bike.

February 18, 2010 By Eric Reagan

Joby Gorillapod Magnetic and Ballhead X

As part of PMA 2010, Joby has announced two new products – the Gorillapod Magnetic and the Ballhead X.

The Gorillapod Magnetic is a lot like an ordinary Gorillapod; however, it features magnetic feet, which allows it to attach to any magnetic surface.  It supports cameras weighing up to 11.5 ounces.    The Gorillapod Magnetic should be available in April 2010 for $24.95.

The Ballhead X is designed to work in conjunction with the Gorillapod Focus tripod.  The Ballhead X supports up to 11.1lbs and allows you to pan, tilt and rotate the attached camera atop the Gorillapod.  the Ballhead X works with 3/8″ and 1/4″ threads, which allows it to be used on any other tripod as well.  The Ballhead X should be available in April 2010 for $79.95.
