Since the very first day that the company founded in the San Francisco Bay Area has designed mounts, cases, lights, stands and grips with a user-centric approach. Always believing in creation as an act of creativity, Joby has always tried to create functional yet playful, innovative yet easy to use products. In 2017, JOBY was acquired by The Vitec Group, manufacturer and distributor of photographic accessories from major brands including Lowepro, Manfrotto, Gitzo and more, but nothing has changed in the goals Joby has when it comes to offer products for creative minds.
The brand has a strong and loyal following of customers, from photographers to vloggers or anyone looking for tools that make capturing images easier. The creators’ kits available during this period, which are part of the Black Friday offer from the company, are a good example of the variety of solutions built for different types of users. Here are some suggestions for you to check:
Built with vlogging in mind and to capture the most delicious shots and content, the TelePod Mobile Beamo Mini LED Kit is the first telescoping tripod from the makers of GorillaPod. The latest addition to JOBY’s line-up of pro-content creation tools, this handheld tripod/vlogging stick works in 4 modes for maximum versatility: Hand Grip, Extended Grip, Tabletop Tripod and Elevated Tripod. Add a Beamo Mini LED light (with magnetic back), designed to give you pro-grade lighting in any condition, and you’ll take, Joby claims, “your videos to a whole other level.”
