This is a bad product. Unless you just want the Gorillapod section. Don't buy it for the mount.
I physically went through 3 units of this. I brought it back to the Physical location. And ON location i went through Two more units all having the same issue with the mount not opening. You'll see reviews mentioning this on Amazon also.
I got a refund because for me it was easy as i was physically there and demonstrated 3 units were bad.
-- EDIT MY BAD.
I had problems with the Tablet version. Maybe the phone version is better? But i really doubt it because it is the same mechanism that made the mount bad.

Was your issue with the clamp sticking? Not opening?
I think you just have to jiggle it a bit. I really like my tablet version. But yeah, its different from this one.
The thing I really like about these B&H sales is that the used version prices also plummet as well. Currently they are sitting at 9-12$
It's not magnetic? I have three task lights and one tripod from Joby that I've picked up over the past decade or so, and all of them have magnetic feet - it's what makes them so useful!
I never even considered the possibility that this one might somehow NOT have magnetic feet, and, if it arrives without them, I will be very, very disappointed...
Didn't believe the retail price, but I looked around at other sites and this is a $99 piece..
In true SD fashion and FOMO, I, of course, ordered two.
Previous sale price was $22, so I'm not so sure about that MSRP.

What in the world is this for? Is this a robot?
No. The legs bend so you can mount your camera/phone to things and position it without needing a tripod. And the other arms can attach lights or whatever.
Just for anyone expecting this to have magnetic feet like so many other GorillaPod products do (at least, every once I've ever bought before this), be aware that, after looking everywhere I could think of on the web, it seems that it DOES NOT have those.
Why, I do not know, but I'm not sure whether I would have placed my order if I had known in advance. Thanks @awid for mentioning it, I should have paid more attention to the comments before buying.
I actually use these in the shower. I attach it upside down to the curtain rod and it holds my phone and I watch like 10-15 minutes of shows every day when I'm in the shower
