The Gorillapod

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

This new video shows off the cool functionality of both the Gorillapod and the Magnetic Gorillapod! You can use either of these cool mini-tripods in a variety of places, as they are easily configurable and perfect for the types of cameras that we sell, including the GoPro, Contour, and Drift.

The Gorillapod fits easily in your pocket and is incredibly versatile. No sooner did we make this video that a new product was released by Joby, called the Gorillapod Video! We will have a full video comparing the Gorillapod Video to the Magnetic Gorillapod soon, there are definite differences and pros for each.

Also in this video, the first official spotting of our exclusive item, SquidPops! SquidPops are a new product from camarush which are a great accessory to the Magnetic Gorillapod for mounting the mini tripod on even more surfaces. You are going to love these little suckers (pun intended)!

New Product: Joby Gorillapod

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

We have started carrying the Joby Gorillapod as our preferred tripod.  This thing is so cool, especially the magnetic version!  We chose to carry this particular tripod because it is so versatile for this type of camera.  You can hang it in a tree, you can wrap it around a railing, you can magnetize it to a lamp post, or a even a metal desk.  There are so many ways to get a great, steady angle from this thing, and get a cool angle at the same time!

We decided to resell tripods for two reasons.  One is that for a professional looking video, you should always rely mostly on steady shots.  A tripod will allow you to achieve this.  Secondly, people kept asking us about the tripod in the camalapse video, and we wanted to recommend a product that could have more functionality than just propping the camalapse on a table.  Now you can level your camera anywhere and have so many more options on where to set it up for that juicy shot!

camalapse: the perfectly tiny time-lapse mount!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Now anyone can easily add time-lapse photos or video with a slow-rotation pan to their next movie.  Introducing… the camalapse!

It’s quite simple, attach the bottom of the camalapse to a standard tripod or set it down on a low and stable flat surface.  Attach your GoPro HD HERO ( with tripod adapter), ContourHD1080p (with universal mount adapter), or any other small camera to the top.  Point your camera where you would like the recording to end and twist the top half of the camalapse to the point you would like your recording to start.

Start recording with your camera, and the camalapse will take care of the rest. You can set it to record for 1 hour and 360 degrees, or less of a rotation.

A great feature of the camalapse is its diminutive size.  It’s so small and light, you have no reason not to pack it up with your camera and take it with you on your next outing.  Just pull your camalapse out, mount the camera right on, and wind ‘er up!  Setting up for perfect time-lapse pans takes just seconds.  It really lends credence to the old saying “Hurry up and wait”!

Here is our introductory video:
