Review: Joby Gorillapod with Nokia DT-22 Adapter
If you own a Nokia Tripod DT-22 reviewed a while ago, I recommend you to also get the Joby Gorillapod! I just started playing with it and I love it. It secures your Nokia phone or any other camera to just about anything, anywhere, and everywhere. Since our Nokia phones do not come with the standard screws, we still an adapter like the one on the Nokia DT-22 to attach to the Gorillapod.
Not only did the Gorillapod work as a traditional tripod, but I was also able to hang my Nokia N82 to the car’s side mirror and wrap it around a patio siderail. I took some pictures of the Gorillapod in action below, but there are more Gorillapod pictures at Joby.
Tripods are necessary for low light pictures where it is important that the camera does not move when taking pictures. Tripods will also be necessary if you would like to try taking HDR photos as described by Iamnotdrtran’s guide to Nseries HDR photography.

There’s nothing bad I can say about the Gorillapod. It’s a simple tool performs perfectly for what it is made for. The legs are flexible but firm. It’s position stays secure. Another cool thing about it is the attachment that snaps your camera in. This way, you can secure legs in position first, then attach the Nokia DT-22 or other cameras when ready.
I opted for grey to match the Nokia N82, but it comes in other fruity colors. Joby sells the Gorillapod for $25 shipped on their website, but you can probably save around $5-$7 if you get it on eBay or Amazon.

Great review. I got excited when you linked to my blog.
Mark Guim on 11 January 2008:
@AI yup i’ll be using your guide when I try doing HDR photos with the phones.

Hey Mark,
Does the Gorillapod come with the clamp at the end which is holding the N82?
Mark Guim on 11 January 2008:
@Lu no it does not come with the clamp. The clamp is part of the Nokia DT-22 tripod.

I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before.

Hi Mark, any chance of doing a review of the Gorillapod Go-Go model? The link for the same is http://www.joby.com/products/gorillapod/gogo/
this seems to be a gorillapod designed for mobile devices…
