Buying Guide for Best Gorillapod for DSLR & vlogging in India

If you are looking for the Best Gorillapod in India then the first thing you should keep in mind before buying is that are you going to record the videos using a DLSR Camera or a mobile phone, then only you can decide which gorilla pod to for. In order to decide which is the Best Gorilla Tripod for DSLR or which one is the Best Gorilla tripod for mobile by keeping a few things in mind such as

1. Maximum Load Capacity:-

While filming videos using a Gorilla pod you have to mount that pod on different things like a door, window, even a tree if you are shooting outside. Most of the vloggers shoot their own videos and they can’t always be around someone who can hold their camera for them, so it becomes a very important factor that you should keep a record of the Maximum load capacity which your tripod can hold according to the weight of your camera because if you don’t consider this factor your costly DSLR or Mobile price might fall down and break.

For testing this you can attach all the peripherals of your camera whether it be your lens for zooming or if you are using a mic also to capture clear voices, put everything in. Once everything is attached then you will be having a combined weight and then check the load capacity of the gorilla tripod by attaching the camera and fixing the whole setup to different objects like a door, table, rod, a lamppost, or anything you can think of that can help you out while filming your videos. This step is very important if you love your camera especially if you are using high-resolution 4k or even 5k cameras are available in the market nowadays and nobody wants their costly cameras broken.

2. Height of gorilla tripod:-

Whether you are using your tripod for tutorials, a cooking recipes channel, or a vlog you have to keep a factor of height in mind while purchasing a gorilla pod. If you are using a tripod for video tutorials you will be needing the height of the camera to be a bit higher than what you would be needing for shooting traveling videos as you would want a tripod that is smaller in size easy to carry.

3. Material of the tripod:-

Mostly the material used in all the tripods is similar except for a few little changes which can be of great importance to you. To improve the grip of the tripod it is rubberized on certain areas but the rest of the tripod is made up of stainless steel. Some tripods also include magnets at the bottom of their feet so that you can stick them to a metal surface in any position you want to shoot your videos. The lifespan of a good tripod with good materials can be of a few years only after that you will start to notice little wear and tear starting in the rubberized area of the tripod. Apart from looking a little weary though this is not a big issue as it will continue to work in the same manner as it was working earlier.

4. Quick Release System:-

The gorilla tripod has 2 main settings when it comes to releasing the system.

• Fixed
• Quick-release

The most preferred one is a quick release plate that you can attach with your tripod and get your camera on and off frequently without any hassles. Most travel vloggers use this quick-release system as it gives them the flexibility to frequently attach and detach the camera at any point in time they want. It becomes hard for them if they use a fixed gorilla tripod. But you are sure that you don’t need to detach and reattach your camera as frequently as other people do then definitely go with the fixed system.

5.Stability for GorillaPod :-

Nobody wants their video to be blurry or out of focus and for this matter Stability becomes a very important factor if you want to shoot a Magnificent video. There are upgrades available for stability like bubble level indicators with ball heads for cameras.

6.Upgrades for  Gorilla pods:-
