Review:

Fidgety is the best way to describe this thing. It's actually worse than the Gorillapod when it comes to fidgetyness. Joby has obviously gone after the vlogging/content creation market for awhile now but one thing they continue to miss the mark on is we want to get the shot, not mess with our equipment constantly. The ball head is garbage and the camera has a tendency to spin on it unless you loosen the knob and retighten it. The extensions are never secure so it will flop from side to side, you have to extend the bottom extension just to use it as a tripod, when it is being used as a tripod it only works with the legs fully extended because they flex too much in the middle position with nothing more than a Sony ZV-1 on it. I don't know why "thickness" is a rating on here. Thickness isn't a good thing. If anything it's way too bulky and long. I would NEVER put a mirrorless camera on it doesn't need this much girth for a point and shoot...or maybe it would be even worse if it were thinner. Major miss on this one Joby.
