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. You can get the Gorillapod for about $25.

    Hey Mark,

    Does the Gorillapod come with the clamp at the end which is holding the N82?

    @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.

    Mark – I found a really cool pod accessory online, but can’t seem to find any reviews on it. http://thesmartpod.com/ . It seems as versatile as the gorilla pod, but more secure. Can you let me know if there are any product reviews on this device?

    Many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming.
