I just bought the 3K kit in a physical store, but after seeing a lot of reviews on both the 3K and 5K, I’ve decided to order the 5K kit online and I’ll return the 3K. I have the Nikon D5300, so the 3K should hold, but I still want that extra stability.
what is the difference to the cheaper "JOBY GorillaPod Focus with Ballhead X" ? Looks like it is "just" an updated version, or are there really a lot of other differences ?
I must be honest - I have no idea. But I've seen reviews about the focus where the joints would come loose. Joby has stated with the 5k they've re-engineerd the joints, so that's the reason I got this one. The price difference in my country is also negligible.
It’s a down jacket. Don’t know the brand but there are many out there. It’s actually my fav jacket on assignments too, because it compacts really well and I can just tuck it in my bag!
Thanks for the review but ironically you skipped by a key point - camera attachment! I was hoping to hear how convenient you found to attach and detach the camera from the ballhead? I would like to take this Jobi on wilderness hikes but would need to remount the camera dozens of times per day so the equipment stays protected in backpack.
Ah you're right, sorry! You easily attach the plate to the bottom, you don't need anything (like with manfrotto video plates) to attach it. You can use your fingers. :) And to unscrew the camera with plate attached from the Joby is even easier, just turn a knob on the tripod. Hope this helps!

Nice review! We are looking for a tripod like this, maybe we will think about its purchase ;) Can we just ask you which camera and lens you used for this video? The image is very clean =)
it looks so relaxing and peaceful there!!!! also, mind as well get the Joby Focus to save money since theyre exactly identical unless youre really going for the charcoal and red theme. Still think the black and gun metal looks better on the focus kit.
we had both lol im a huge fan of the color red but the price difference isn't worth the color theme. They're extremely identical. You can buy the original Focus so you can see, most stores gives you 14 days to return anyway.
also, had the focus for 6 months since we started this youtube thing and its very much like brand new still. Unfortunately for the lower end like hybrid, it would of snapped by now
Awesome job on the review my friend. Love the video . Just purchased one myself . Also I like what you did with your channel. You have my subscription would love to have your support as well.
thanks for going outside, we appreciate the grind.
Haha! :D
Got mine yesterday from a thrift store for 3 bucks with a cheaper ballhead. Looks new. Rather happy with my score.
Thankyou for going outside for this kind of wild life review 😂 still bought the gorilla 5 k on Amazon yesterday. Can’t wait to try it out ❤️
😁😂

Yea, I'd also rather be on the safe side with these things.
You still enjoy the product?
Got as birthday gift vs you returned the other tripod and ordered this instead?
Thanks so much for the review. Just bought mine and can't wait to use it!
Yea I love it too :) Have fun using it!
Mon et Mine Thank you! It should arrive on Monday 😊
Heel hulpzaam, bedankt!
Graag gedaan!
planning to buy one same set up i have need a solid tripod that can handle it !😍
We've had it for quite some time now and still use it :)
Thank you very much for your great review! That was exactly the information I needed :D
You're welcome! :)
It always awesome when the folks get you something that you REALLY want - cool review!
Ha yes I agree! Still using it, still works great!
Nice video dude you deserve lots subs good luck
Brilliant video. A real review thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice review bro this helped thanks even years later!
Thank you! 🕶
thanks man
you're welcome : )
Can I buy that from you?
What camera did you used to shoot your review and lens? Thanks!
Hi, canon 5d4 and 24-70 2.8II
what is the difference to the cheaper "JOBY GorillaPod Focus with Ballhead X" ? Looks like it is "just" an updated version, or are there really a lot of other differences ?

thanks for the info !
Good vid bro, keep it up!
Thanks Stanley!
Great video man!
Hi thanks for the review,I will defo be getting one soon as much much needed,what camera did you use to video this review ?
Thanks
The 5d4 :)
It's been 5 years. Do you still use it? Has it stayed durable or not really durable?
Yes it still works, but I must admit I haven't used it much in the past years.. So I haven't put it trough much to be honest :)
How is it going after a year? does the tripod still work properly? did the legs get loose?? thanks!
Yes, it still works great! But I must say the last few months I haven't used it intensively. But it seems to be holding up fine!
I like this tripod, thanks for the review! I found one for $145 brand new on Ebay is that a good price ?
I think it's a decent price, cheaper than B&H for example. Don't know if shipping costs are involved?
Do you know if using this in shallow water will damage it or rust out the joints?
No clue, sorry!
Do you think the 3K would be good for my Canon 80D + Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 or should I get the 5k?
I’d get the 5K! Rather have a tripod that can also grow with you if you’d ever want to upgrade cameras or lenses
Great video. Just ordered one. Side question. What picture profile are you shooting in?
Thanks! I’m shooting in neutral :)
Is there any flexible tripod like gorillapod but at the same time, it can be enlarged like other tripods?
No clue!
Awesome video 🙌🏼🔥
Thanks :D
Helpful review! Thanks!
what kind of jacket is that?
It’s a down jacket. Don’t know the brand but there are many out there. It’s actually my fav jacket on assignments too, because it compacts really well and I can just tuck it in my bag!
@@monetmine there's no brand? yeah looks cool,im in the market for a new jacket
@@mikedelgado8888 I'll check tomorrow. I believe it's a dutch brand that doesn't exist anymore
It’s by the brand JC Rags!
Mon et Mine haha awesome man
Great videos I subscribed
I’m gonna post stuff every Tuesday
Great review - thanks !
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for your comment.

Thanks! For the general review I used a Canon 5d4 with 24-70 2.8 II. For Some details I used the 100L macro and 70-200 2.8 :)
Thank you.
Nice review. Thanks
how is it now ?? did it gets lose
Hi, not yet luckily! If it does happen I'll be sure to let you know. :)
Any update on the durability?
It’s still going strong. But I must admit that I haven’t used it a lot 😬
Lekker bezig!!
Boks :D
awesome job

They did say they re-engineered the joints on the new versions. But dunno if that’s true :)

Thanks for the suggestion!
