First, your old GorillaPod is plastic whereas these are metal construction. Second, the articulation is stiffer and the construction is more durable than older models. Third, if you are comfortable putting a $9 support under your camera than you're absolutely right, this tripod is not meant for you.
There are smaller and cheaper versions of this if you only need it for iPhone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...321823-REG

You would need a phone clip with screw on thread, check amazon.

Do the legs have tension? I have a $15 tripod from amazon that the legs have no resistant so when you spread them out to form the tripod it's either all the way open or closed.

Does anyone know how the legs are on this?

Bought, thanks OP! The best price I've seen on the 5k (holds 11lbs, that's the tension, jwurz)

Crazy how expensive these are but they really are worth it for the stability and flexible if you're using an nice camera with a little weight to it.

If you're just using a gopro or a phone you can get cheaper knockoffs of these.

These are geared more for a heavier camera but not to say this isn't perfect for everything.

No ball head??? I would skip it. Ball head is pretty expensive for a 5k.
Also remember, most people do not need the 5k. A 3k is way enough pulling 3kg weight by 5 kg for mega lenses.

Nearly any ball head works on this. You don't need the Joby 5K head. Even the Joby 3K head will work if you don't want an Arca Swiss plate or are just using a small camera or smartphone. However, you do want some sort of quick release built-in.

So does it shoot in 5K? Or is it plated in 5k gold? Not understanding why these are $60 when you can get the knockoffs for $5-10. I have the GolillaPod with a clamp arm, but I only bought it because it was on clearance for like 75% off. It's not that much better quality than the Sabrent one I bought for $9 on amazon.
