Product Description
The Joby Gorillapod Magnetic provides a reliable and flexible support for lightweight compact cameras and mini camcorders weighing up to 11.5 oz (325 g). This tabletop tripod (only 15", 3cm tall) has strong magnetic feet which allow attachment to magnetic surfaces such as door hinges and metal poles. These feet support incredibly flexible legs made up of more than two dozen leg joints that can bend and rotate a full 360° and wrap around a wide variety of supports so you can support your camera in a wide variety of situations. It comes with a Quick Release clip which stays connected to your camera or mini camcorder and snaps into the Gorillapod Magnetic for instant setup. A built-in lock ring keeps your camera securely attached.

Must have little compact camera accessory September 6, 2010
Anonymous (South Florida)
This is one of those things you'll wish you'd invented. Just a terrific little gadget to go along with your compact camera or mini recorder. Using this I've been able to get into the scene with the camera hung from door hinges, shelf brackets, chair backs and of course any horizontal upright surface. Near infinitely adjustable and the magnets are strong enough for any compact camera or recorder. It's rated UP TO 11.5 oz which covers any compact digital camera and quite a few that stretch the definition of compact. I'm not sure what's wrong with reviewers who complain and downgrade it because it won't support their 24oz SLR reliably...well DUH!
br /
br /About the only thing to watch out for when using it or carrying it with you ARE the magnets -They are very strong for the size and shape and you don't want to just casually grab and pull if you're resting on a loose object. I set it down with my camera mounted on top of a mid-tower sized PC weighing about 18 lbs and discovered it had no problem moving the whole cabinet before it released. I'm guessing the 11.5oz rating has more to do with what the flexible leg joints will support before the camera starts to shift a bit in some orientations rather than what you can hang via the magnets. Just keep it away from things sensitive to magnetic fields or get the original non-magnetic version which is also available in a beefed up SLR version.
br /
br /The only other negative is the price which is a little high IMO, given what you can find the original, non-magentic version selling for that now has competition in the market. Still, it's just a great, flexible (no pun intended) accessory item that deserves a spot in your camera accessory bag. I give it a 5 star rating 'cause it does what it's supposed to, does it very well and will probably outlast the cameras I use it for.
Original Monkeypod was good, this is 100% improved! August 27, 2010
John Carroll (Virginia USA)
I have used my versatile original monkeypod (blue) tripod from day one - would not travel without it. Always getting positive comments and compliments on it.
br /
br /Now with strong magnetic feet, this new magnetic gorillapod is even more amazing! Twice as easy to set-up for self-pictures. Grabs any steel surface with tenacious grip, but can still be used like the original model, monkey-gripped onto limbs, fences, etc.
br /
br /BTW, this magnetic gorillapod is the identical dimension as original monkeypod, about 6" high opened up.
Stronger Then I Imagined August 14, 2010

I was a little unsure about whether to get this size or the next size for a SLR, my digital camera is a bit bulky so I thought it would be too heavy, but no. This Gorillapod is strong for its size, I'm sure it will work for any point and shoot digital camera
Works Great June 28, 2010

I knew Gorillapods were great but adding the magnets on the feet makes the magnetic Gorillapod even better. I bought one for my Kodak zi8 HD cam, and it love it. The magnets are super strong and allow me to easily attach the camera to a lot more surfaces.
great product!!! June 25, 2010

overall this product is great. definitely a must have. the only things i would change of the design is to make it a few inches taller and with a little stronger magnet. other than that it does the job...
