Product Information
Full details
The JOBY GripTight PRO GorillaPod is designed for mobile content creators, vloggers, and videographers who require professional-grade stability and smooth motion control for their smartphones or action cameras. Its standout benefit is the integrated fluid pan and tilt head, which allows for cinematic camera movements, though it is specifically optimized for devices 56-91mm wide and may feel slightly heavier than lightweight plastic tabletop tripods.

Does it come with a remote for the phone?

Can I mount the head onto a different tripod?

Troubleshooting
Phone feels loose in the mount
Ensure the clamping mechanism is fully tightened and the phone is centered within the rubberized grip pads.
Pan/Tilt movement feels stiff
Check if the locking knobs on the head are partially engaged; ensure they are fully loosened for fluid movement.
Tripod legs are losing their grip
Clean the TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) joints with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and oil build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your tripod, simply attach the mount to the ball head using the 1/4"-20 screw. Adjust your smartphone width by twisting the locking mechanism on the mount until the device is secure. To care for your GorillaPod, keep the leg joints free of grit and sand by wiping them with a clean cloth after outdoor use. Avoid using aggressive chemicals on the TPE grips, as a simple damp cloth is usually sufficient. Ensure the locking screws on the pan/tilt head are tightened before transporting the unit to prevent unnecessary wear.
