December 29, 2009: Joby has launched two tripods and a free camera self timer application designed specifically for the latest camera phones.
Joby’s Gorillamobile is designed to provide versatile hands-free operation for mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players, portable gaming devices, GPS units, mini video cameras, pocket projectors and almost any other mobile device. Featuring the characteristic ball-and-socket tripod legs it is fully adjustable and comes with four interchangeable adapters that affix to and balance on any surface. They include a custom-engineered suction cup for a temporary hold, two removable high-bond adhesive clips and a universal camera adapter with 1/4-inch tripod screw.

The Gorillamobile for 3G/3GS has the same essential features as the Gorillamobile but includes four interchangeable quick-release adapters plus a custom-engineered, slimline iPhone case.

Joby extends the functionality of the iPhone’s camera and the Gorillamobile for 3G/3GS stand with Gorillacam, a free, feature-packed camera application for the iPhone. Providing additional features like a self-timer, time-lapse triggering and continuous shooting of three frames at up to 1.6 frames/second, Gorillacam was created in cooperation with San Francisco-based iPhone developers, AppTight. The time-lapse function lets users take multiple photos spaced at intervals between one second and two minutes.
